Who doesn’t love an ancient, weathered door to a secret walled garden? I walk past these fine examples most evenings. One of my favourite pastimes is looking on Rightmove to see if the beautiful houses they belong to are for sale. Not that we could afford them.

This was taken in 2016. Shipley (rear) died a year later. His brother Ralph (front) made it to 20, following him to the Great Beyond in 2021. I scattered his ashes on this exact spot. Which is mainly to say "Have a read of this thing I wrote": tomcox.substack.com/p/the-lion-t...
