Act 2 scene 1....

I missed a call from Techno today which is how I managed to miss the real drama going on his side of the Bonsai Mountain. I was engaged in tedious activities such a fill the skip with rubbish, one point of interest was finding the hugest ever earthworm under a black hayledge wrapper. It had to be at least 14 inches long, so I carefully placed it on another muck heap rather than lob it to the poultry as is the usual fate of any calories found lurking.
But the excitement of finding a leviathan of the earth pales to insignificance compared to what was going on around the hill. Techno had another visit from a GP and it was decided that he needed to go to hospital, and what better way to get there than in an ambulance. So quite why Steve the ambulance driver decided it was safe to get a fully laden bog standard ambulance up the track to Techno's lair is a question that will be pondered for a while in these parts over a cuppa and Rich Tea. But he managed to get it half way before the inevitable call for help to retrieve emergency vehicle from ditch was made. The militia turned up with a suitably massive tractor and saved the day.
 I missed a fantastic photo opportunity.
But I did find a big worm.

Possibly because the alternaive was trying to drag a trolley a couple of miles over the hill. Was the Air Ambulance not available?
