garden hermit: According to Wiki a garden hermit was (or is?) a hermit encouraged to live in purpose-built hermitages, follies, grottoes, or rockeries on the estates of wealthy land-owners, primarily during the 18th century. Such hermits would be encouraged to dress like druids and remain permanently on-site, where they could be fed, cared-for and consulted for advice or viewed for entertainment. In my case most of that could be correct – except the wealthy landowner in the 18th century bit…Oh – and the ‘dress like a druid’ bit – though I won’t rule that out totally. Here you will (hopefully) find an eclectic collection of my blogs, essentially on interests that have occupied some of my time, either just before, or following, retirement from work..
