Marrows & Marigolds

We wondered how the Swanvale Halt Village Show would turn out this year. Surely the gardeners and allotment holders of the parish would have laboured under insurmountably adverse conditions as the rain refused to fall and the ground grew ever harder under the pitiless gaze of Phoebus week after week. But no: entries were only marginally down on last year, and included festooned fuschias, a gargantuan marrow, and, for the first time I remember, cacti which of course have no issue with weather which is on the desiccated side.
