Bad News, Good News

RIP Bisto

In time honoured tradition I'll start with the bad news, dear old Bisto has gone to the dog kennel in the sky. Not unexpected news I know but sad all the same. I'd become rather fond of that lumpy, bumpy, slobbery, friendly and to be frank smelly old dog and will miss him, Shandy seems quite down in the dumps without her rabbit chasing chum too. I wouldn't be at all surprised to catch the odd glimpse of him haunting the garden occasionally, it's that sort of place.
 
Now for the good news, at the end of this month my years training course is complete and I have decided to become self employed, however I will continue to work at Norton Conyers on a free lance basis. I'm so glad the Grahams want me to stay as it is such a special place and has become an important part of my persona, so thankfully I'll still be able to regale you with tales from the garden. By the way, if any of you live in the Harrogate area and require an RHS trained gardener for any job big or small please get in touch, my rates are very reasonable!
