At this time of year at The Pavilion, the annual battle with the foliage commences. Every chlorophyll based life-form explodes into action, determined to engulf the property. The advancing growth is so rapid, it is noticeable on a daily basis. Seemingly if one stands still long enough, listening closely, you can hear the stealthy creeping of bamboo, ivy and blackberry vines among the other numerous invaders.
Armed with the usual weapons, lawnmower, pruners, clippers etc, R.H. and I combine forces against the green enemy. As always, the sweaty skirmishes end in temporary stalemates with both sides regrouping for the next engagements. There are no true winners or losers, yet in the midst of this leafy blitzkrieg, there is beauty on the battlefield...
