Now here's a peculiar thing. Today, the day when the clocks go forward and the rugby internationals end and the first day of the year that I reach for my garden spade. I nip down to this wooden bunker at the bottom of the garden, where some of my tools are stored. I haven't been inside this bunker since about November. I lift the lid, and find it half full of really nice top-soil. I have no idea where it came from. All of my tools are burried underneath.........I think. Going to find out more tomorrow during an experimental dig. I think there's about half a ton of earth in there. Any ideas? Rats? Badgers? Moles? Wombats?
