I was moving him because due to a schoolboy error, I put him in the way of the sun ...doh! I placed him near the cabbages and peas to keep the birds away but only realised my mistake when harvesting my garlic crop at his feet which was absolutely rubbish due to lack of sun.
I hope this is a temporary de-frocking, please bring back his creepy overalls ASAP. He might catch a chill and is already wasting away.
Hmmm , a cross dressing George? Interesting proposal Joyce but in my opinion will only work if he's done up in a Norman Bates/Psycho style to maximize his scare factor.
PP: excellent song choice. A blast from the past of the highest order (never seen you speechless before though ? ? )
<Chuckle> loving that George now has a surname - Bates! ..and potentially a wife but since I've no cabbages on at the mo, he's on vacation down the side of the shed.
If he had feet then he would have them up but yes, his "stump" is resting on bags that might break into squares at any moment and release black sludge over the slumbering,sweating weeds.
I realise this scenario is a romantic idyll that many, like me, can appreciate but others may find repellant. Don't damn me for this, I'm an idealist, my garden is not only a work of art but a work in progress.

Georgette may be too soon, surely Georgina should be allowed to get acquainted with George first....
Yes you're right, it should happen naturally, I'm an impatient gardener, always have been!
The loneliness would explain his slight frame!
Actually I've not explained why he's naked.

It was either that or Pansy's glasshouse!

I'll wash his overalls whilst he has a rest.
Poor George. Is he taking his ease with his feet up on the bags of leaf mould? No Seychelles for him.
