Sounds Intriguing?

Here at Crafty Dog Towers we have a fairly large (fictional) cast of staff;

• Mr. Grout, the Head Gardener
• Pendulous Sedge (Pendle, the lazy) Gardener’s Lad
• Higgins the Butler,
• Cook
• Alice, the Kitchen Maid
• Mrs Chamberlain, Housekeeper

These whimsical tales largely revolve around the antics of Pendle and his mentor, Mr Grout, the Head Gardener. Pendle is a tall thin streak of a lad. He is not the sharpest shovel in the shed. Still, he is loved by everyone for his simple honesty. Grout is that typical earthy old sort who managed the gardens of country houses in the last century. He has a touch of ingenuity and cunning. This means he always has some idea to make him rich, usually without Mrs Crafty Dog and I knowing. These stories began during the dark days of COVID on our Facebook page. They are now a Blog in their own right.

I hope that they make you smile!
