Said knee damage two posts ago improved enough to drive, eat cheese and sup wine (not always at the same time) for a week in Normandy and I’ll try and post something soon about the benefits of waiting for gardens to grow.

But while I was away, my esteemed colleague James Alexander-Sinclair uploaded the latest offering from 3 Men Went 2 Mow for your consideration.

I expect most of you have already seen it by now.

What you won’t have seen is a most spectacular poo-treading moment by JAS.  We assumed doggy-doo by some Baskerville-sized creature but were reliably informed by a small child that it was actually human poo(!)   We thought it best not to pursue the conversation (the parents were nearby and wouldn’t have taken too kindly to their boy talking to three strange men lurking in the bushes with a video camera - their only excuse being that they were playing cowboys and indians) but the moment immediately after the treading was caught on film and I have been rummaging through Flip files to find it and redeem this post by publishing it. I’ve just remembered, however, that I used James’s camera and he, being of good manners and decorum, has no doubt trashed it by now.

A pointless post.  But, if by chance you haven’t been inspired by our visit to the Gibberd Garden, you can click....
