On a walk we had a look at the prospective site, or part of it, where a few thousand homes will be erected. This area appears to have once been a nursery and the greenhouses are now absolutely choc-a-bloc with brambles and other weeds. Paulbold, "The Gardener", as he is sometimes known, gave me a short talk on how, one day, nature will win the great battle with humanity and "Maybe, just ,maybe", said Paulbold "We've seen it's opening salvo, right here on our very doorstep". Obviously Paulbold's West Country accent cannot be quite conveyed here, but that did give his whole "performance" a certain rustic authenticity.
