So, granted i don't really cook in here (the odd pot of tea gets warmed up..), but this little trailer home has been cozily accommodating me during the summer months this year and last. My goal is to have it renovated to the point of living in it year-round when i move back to BC in a year or two.

...it is now.
A select group of volunteers [the person who selected them has since be reprimanded for gross negligence – his defence being there was nowhere near a gross and none of them were wearing negligencies!], gathered around Mr T. However Mr T did not feel threatened. He had his minder, a hulking brute of a man, [did I say man? Was Dr. Frankenstein’s monster a man?], standing watching his back. Everyone felt relieved. (!) It was when it was watching your back that you needed to be frightened! Anyway, to continue:
Mr T: “We’re not planting trees over by the MoD fence line any longer.”
The Voles enthusiasm knew no bounds and spilled out making a nasty mess of the car park. The couple of Dave’s [the only one’s of their clan to be present] began doing an Irish jig in the style that only the English can accomplish to Olympic standard. This resembles two drunks on a Friday night attempting to swap trousers while eating a chicken vindaloo!
Mr T had lulled them and now applied the ‘cut the grass’ [I believe it sounds better in French but I’m not into that foreign fancy stuff, let them learn English like we had to, that’s what I say].
Mr T: “Instead we’ll be planting trees down near the other end of the Upper Alders.”
The jiggers froze – it was their fault for being so quick in removing certain essential items of apparel. Wendy, remembering her classes from Finishing Off School, swooned and fell to ground, [fortunately she didn’t have far to go]. The Brute picked her up and tossed her into the back of my car, [no-one takes Jock’s seat even the Brute knew that].
Mr T: “Squire, you drive while I rest on my laurels.”
Brute: “But I thought we were planting alders?”
Mr T: “Just drive.”
It was a mizzly, drizzly day so I had brought along my gazebo to keep us dry when we had our break. [The Brute liked to break things (and people)]. Soon Dave C. and I were well on the way to completing its construction. However after ten minutes we decide more help was needed. After a further ten minutes and the help of Roger we decided more help was needed. After a further ten minutes and the help of Dave M. We decided more help was needed. After a further ten minutes it had stopped raining and the wind was taking the gazebo across the field with Wendy firmly attached to one of the legs. Finally, by tying Roger’s bike to the opposite leg that Wendy was secured to, the gazebo looked like a grade two listing building – yes that bad.
The tree planting went along the usual lines, trees two metres apart (give or take a metre) in one direction and two metres apart (give or take a metre) in the other, whilst in the main being perpendicular to the horizontal. This of course does not allow for the inbuilt variations based upon wind direction, proximity to the tin of biscuits, phase of the moon and attitude of the Vole in question. However Mr T did note one Vole was being a little too precise in being precise rather than not being precise, if you take my drift. [Please note the last person who took my drift has still to return it!].
Mr T: “Excuse me ‘The Moff’, you don’t need to be exact in spacing the trees.”
The Moff, (tucking his collapsible digital theodolite into his pocket). “I’m not. I’m at least 0.056 millimetres about the norm.” [Norman looked concerned but not surprised by this revelation].
Mr T: “That’s alright then. For a moment I thought you were being too meticulous.” [How can you be ‘too’ meticulous? A meticulous person would ensure they weren’t too meticulous otherwise they’d fail to be meticulous.
The Moff: “No, I’m being very careful not to be too meticulous.” [You don’t catch The Moff out that easily].
Mr T also noted that Wendy appeared to be dozing off for a few minutes every time she put the guards on the trees and canes.
Mr T: “Wendy, are we keeping you up?”
Wen: “No, I’m using my belly, [The word used by Wendy was ‘stomach’ but I can’t spell ‘stomach’ so I’m using ‘belly’ instead – apologies to the squeamish], to pile drive the canes into the ground another foot or so.”
Mr T: “Doesn’t that hurt?”
Wen: “No, I’m sure the canes don’t feel a thing.”
Later that day, have planted the allotted area, the footpath, the ditch and the river (but only to wadeable height, ensuring the bamboo canes protruded above the waterline).
The Moff: “Hey I’ve got a great idea. Let’s go an finish planting the other area with all these trees that are left.”
The enthusiasm of the Voles knew no bounds yet again spilling everywhere and leaving a nasty mess. [Is there a nice mess? Well yes, often people tell me I’ve left them in a nice mess.]
The Brute, having secured the less enthusiastic Voles in the trailer set off across country to our new destination.
Mr T called him back: “Squire, you’re supposed to take the land rover and trailer with you!”
This was easier said than done, the vehicle and trailer now being surrounded by several hundred trees! However by carefully ignoring them, brute force overcame such difficulties, [actually the word is ‘overran’].
And so dear reader onto our second site and second task of the day. To cut a long email short reread the first section ignoring the bits about the gazebo, footpath, ditch and river.
Yet another ‘And so’ as we come to the end of the Sandy Smith Nature Reserve Tree Planting Saga. This will no doubt go down in the annuls of history as further proof of something. But what the something is will only be decide by the future that will rewrite the past to fit into its own present. That’s the paradox called Time for you.
The End, or the beginning, or the continuation.
Once more thanks go to The Venerable Buxton, ably assisted by The Lady Buxton for another scrum-delicious hotpot and gallons of tea made as only the tea plantations of Yorkshire know how. Why we bother importing tea from other countries is beyond me. Just think of the carbon footprints we could save muddying Mother Earth’s green carpet as some ex vice president once said having lost an election just because a few thousand voting papers had accidently been recorded as preferring him to some other noteworthy bloke whose name thankfully escapes me. Anyway he made money out of it so that’s alright.
For those of you that missed it, you don’t know what you’ve missed and having read this you still don’t. I never understand people who say you don’t know what you’ve missed and then proceed to tell you what you’ve missed, so you do know what you’ve missed when you probably didn’t miss it in the first place, which is why you missed it. [If you know what I mean].
By the way ‘Brute’, you know I don’t mean it and I used to love splashing you on all over when I was young and it’s great that you’re making a comeback, even if it is only at Christmas. [Whereas you, (The Squire you), make a comeback every time you go away].
Another End,
Malcolm.
PS Certain people say it helps to have a few drinks when reading my emails. The alcohol doesn’t help the brain deduce more but it does ensure that when you wake up the screen has gone blank so you can switch it off and go to bed thinking you’ve read it all. “Alcohol is the great leveller” said Earnest Hemmingway as he fell off his bar stool for the umpteenth time. Ernie’s favourite drink was probably a dry martini rather than the Mojito or even Bloody Mary. My favourite drink is one bought by someone else.
That’s all folks.
Volunteers and Canopy staff plant tree's in South Palo Alto's Charleston Meadows and Monroe Park neighborhoods on January 23, 2021.
The tree planting at the entrance to Heckbarley may not look much different from afar but on closer inspection the trees are all growing very well and some are at the top of the shelters.
