Burning man

It's been a great relief to hand my neglected vegetable garden over to Liam (he of the balanced stones) who's aiming to grow crops for the community fridge. I say aiming because a traditional gardener he is not - he likes to plant intuitively rather than by the book. Which bothers me rather when I see  the unorthodox strategies he resorts to. But no matter - he has cleared the ground, sown and planted things and who knows, he may prove to have very green fingers. And today he had a splendid bonfire and carried on tending it late into the evening while his music filtered festively out of the greenhouse into the dusk.
