We have a flower show in Longford this weekend; Longford Blooms, when people are encouraged to visit 13 of Longford’s best gardens, check out the stalls on the Village Green and marvel at the floral displays in the Town Hall.
It sounds like the setting for an episode of Midsomer Murders, compounded by the fact that there was a news report last night that police had been called to an incident in a Longford street. Apparently, shots had been fired and a man had been injured. The address was Goose Green Place and, if that’s not a Midsomer location, I can’t imagine what is.
I just wonder whether there was trouble at the Flower Show between two long-term rival gardeners. Did tempers flare when one criticised the other’s display of pansies? Was one offended when he was accused of putting too much fertiliser in his herbaceous border?
People can become very passionate about their gardens and you don’t want to be insulting a hot-headed enthusiast who is holding a heavy, sharp garden implement, or who has a gun in the garage.
