This story was born out of a news article on CBBC about James May's (of Top Gear fame) entry in this year's Chelsea Flower Show. He created a garden made entirely out of plasticine and his reason for doing so was because it would never have to be weeded. This got me thinking. I loved the idea of having a plasticine garden as I fondly remember making lots of indescribable and unidentifable things with the stuff as a child, and pondered the idea of a plasticine garden that grew voraciously.
I knew it had to be the idea of a child so I made Lucy my artist and sculptor and set about creating the consequences of what she had created. Of course anything slightly anarchic or fantastic always has to have a bit of a comic spin on it, which I think I achieved subtly. I particularly liked the way she resolved the problem she had created, and those that know me will notice the subtle reference to 'Balamory' at the end.
Enjoy!
