woooooooo! (that was supposed to be a scary noise)
Do you remember when I told you about this:
Tuesday
We visited the Lost Gardens of Heligan today. Highlights included the vegetable garden and the potting shed and the ghost woman who was so frightening Tom Smith and I couldn’t look at her. We think she had been there slowly working away since the gardens had been lost in about 1920 and for a while it was so convincing as no one spoke to her or even acknowledged her being there.
Well I saw her in bloody tescos in Bristol today, buying bloody potatoes! What the hell was she doing in tesco metro? She was as slow as she was then and again no one acknowledged her. She just went up to the spare till in front of me and weighed her potatoes. They were all the same size but it seemed like she had to get two exactly the same weight. Then she put the others back and really stared at me for ages, perhaps because I looked like I had seen a ghost.

now then. are you completely sure it was her? what was she wearing? why would she be in bristol buying potatoes from tesco metro, when she is a ghost gardner from a victorian garden? are you working to hard?

that comment appears to suggest that i doubt you - yet i too saw the ghost at heligan, so i can well believe she has followed us to the city (the delay must be caused by her waiting for favourable winds to propel her to us. still doesn’t explain the potatoes though.

I think that Tom Smith should go to Tesco Metro and hang about near the potatoes to see if she appears to him.

Yeah I do too. I hope she doesn’t blow away again today in the gales so you don’t get to see her.
