We are used to farm vehicles zooming (and I mean zooming) up and down the drive, which is only a small lane, but today the world, in the guise of Scottish Power subcontractors, invaded our otherwise peaceful little corner of the world. They came to replace the telegraph poles along the drive. That meant mayhem, and, of course, no power. So Mr Gaucho and I took the train to Edinburgh and mooched around there for a while.

Certainly can see the thought process! Am going to google Mr Oudolf...thank you!
