Well they say it was something to do with big bits of stone and logs.
In the National Trust walled garden at Parke there has lain for many years a handsome granite trough. The problem was that it was in the wrong place. However where there are lots of volunteers (and a willing photographer) there are never any more problems.
On his last day working in the Parke Walled garden (before he left to earn an honest shilling) Richard decided that “they” should shift the trough to a more appropriate position than in the middle of the brassicas.
Three crowbars, four log rollers and a lot of huffing, puffing and pulling later the trough moved about
80 meters and came to a spectacular site in the soon to be created cut-flower border.
Now don’t you agree that does look handsome? Fin thinks he does.
