I’ve been working recently in the gardens
of a rather splendid holiday property owned by the National Trust. Millbeck
Towers is near Applethwaite at the foot of Skiddaw. It has beautiful, large gardens with superb
views over Derwentwater.
I joined Amanda (Wordsworth House gardener) and a
group of gardening volunteers to do some Spring cleaning there in preparation
for the new season.
I’ve mentioned before the kidnapping of
Fletch the perchcrow from Wordsworth House.
Well, for some reason, Fletch was in the Millbeck Towers garden and I
happened to be there to witness a crack team of gardeners do an SAS type
rescue!
They had brought with them an
attack dog who can only be identified as D.
As the kidnapper tried to escape with Fletch, D went in hot pursuit and
brought him to the ground and promptly despatched justice.
It was a great day all round. Fletch has been freed to go home; the
Wordsworth House gardeners had the opportunity to work in a different garden; I
really appreciated having such a good team to help me and we completed a lot of
work.
Hi, Daisy here.
Che’s still with us. It’s great. Huzzah.
