One of my regulars keeps talking about the lost gardens of Helligan.
“I can’t believe they just abandoned that garden after the war! that’s so sad!”
"Lady" I say, "The gardeners were all canon fodder for that lunatic Haigh."
“War turns fields into mud but after some time you get poppies growing there”
"Poppies are big business come rememberance day, and it is good for the garden centre. What we need is a few more wars to commemorate. Deaths are always good for business in the flower trade."
She left without buying anything. But she will be back to talk about the Eden project.
You can bet on it.
