I promise never to complain about being too warm ever again as we reverted to cold and miserable on Monday morning, disastrously I'd forgotten my beloved hat too so I was chilly for most of the day. Still it wasn't all bad as I was back behind the wheel of the tractor for the first time since October and luckily I managed to start it and remember how to reverse too! We loaded up and chugged along to the clock tower garden to lay a new yew hedge which ended up looking surprisingly good for an area that has been sadly neglected until quite recently. Giles has plans to include fragrant climbers, a magnolia grandiflora and some foolproof ground cover so that maintenance will be minimal, all we need now is time for the transformation to be complete. I hope I'm still working here when some of these plants reach maturity, but we gardeners are only ever guardians of the future.
