Armchair gardener
By Violet Lutea

It is with a heavy heart and an equally heavy shopping bag that I am sad to announce that there will be no Armchair Gardener for the winter season. Due to the absence of natural disasters freak weather conditions and the complete lack of any illness imaginary or otherwise Violet has been unable to put pen to paper finger to keyboard or backside to chair.

As a result her garden has decided to work to rule and all growing has ceased as of the beginning of December. There will be no further growth until such times as Violet pulls her finger out and resumes her witty reportage.

However this should not affect the ardent followers of Violet's incisive pennings and gardening within their own area should continue as always unabated and with its usual vigour.

Contact with Violet during this difficult time has been limited to single word text messages but there have been unconfirmed sightings of her in the Co-op buying a bottle of wine and a Radio Times.

We have not been able to obtain any pictures of the garden since the breakdown in communications. However we would like to offer you an artists' impression of the garden.

Please keep them coming. Send your articles on Gardening and Home to editor@anAurora.co.uk
