The people behind the story The Haphazard Gardener are initially my parents Arthur and Grace (Gay) Hellyer. Shortly after their marriage in 1934 they began to build themselves a wooden framed house based on the design of a Dutch barn. The photograph on the left shows Arthur, I think contemplating his next move.

The photograph on the right shows them some time later balancing precariously on the roof of the house – the figure nearest is Arthur one of the other figures is Gay – the other two were friends that were occasionally roped in to help them. The house took approximately five years to complete. What would health and safety have to say?
