I've just done the 142nd bulb. Some of that ground is rock solid. It's like working on a builders' site and I'm surprised I didn't break the trowel. I considered setting up my own gardening business four years ago. It seemed too late in life but the main stumbling block was the earth round here. What is it like in East Anglia?

Excellent.
Gordon lives in a log cabin. If not, it's the whole of one floor of an 18th century palace with a two mile driveway, Italianate gardens, a marquee with stage for rock gigs and state-of-the-art sound insulation.
