You beat me to it Hosta
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
another distraction from gardening.
That new dog as been there for a few weeks now
Sorry
I wonder if anyone ever realises that the shots you see on GW are carefully choreographed.....they're not as spontaneous as they appear. i.e. dog, man pushing a barrow, robin in tree, etc etc.
It didn't take Mr D long to cash-in of the public adoration of Nigel......surprise, surprise, we'll get another dog that looks just like Nigel.
All a bit
I saw the dog pushing the barrow last week

David ... we're not daft ... we know that scenes are planned, story boarded, scripted, rehearsed and filmed probably several times. I think it's amazing how co-operative the robin is.
Like a lot of people, Monty gardens with his dogs, a lot of the viewers like seeing them. My assumption is that, given that Nigel has had some health problems, the Don family wanted to get a younger dog rather than feel totally bereft when Nigel eventually goes to that great field of tennis balls in the sky. If you want to think differently, so be it.

I read in Gardner's World earlier on that Monty used to have two cats as well. What a shame they have passed on. That would have been fun
