Winter Garden Solves Summer Mystery

It’s worth visiting those desolate corners of the garden at this time of year. Winter will have left areas exposed that were impenetrable jungles in summer, and this holds an advantage.

Not only have we already unearthed some interesting artefacts, we have also solved the Ice Cream Mystery that caused strife and consternation amongst a visiting group of under-5s. Accusations were thrown, tears were shed, but the disappearance of the last Cornetto remained a mystery.

Until now!

No wilful larceny — it had just been lost in the long grass. We found it unexpectedly intact, but past its best. Unwilling to risk re-opening the feud, we kicked it back into the long grass — figuratively speaking — by binning it.

Case closed.
