Gardeners are the happiest people in the world
Why
Because they are nearer to God
What makes you say that Sully
It is quite obvious to me that God has created all gardens be they big or small
Both splendid gardens such as those at Versailles and the smallest urban gardens were all created by God
So basically you are saying to me that when I am watering the roses that I am nearer to God
Put simply yes
Think about it Cat are you ever anything more than happy when you are in the garden
I have not given it much thought
As you know before I joined the army I was a gardener at St Mars and after that Tottenham House
Why did you join the army then
I wanted to see the world and work in other gardens
Did the wars not inhibit that
There were no wars
Anyway I was in the Sussex Gardens Regiment
We were not front line troops
Our mission was to cultivate gardens and bring peace
To countries that had not seen peace for a long time
And with God’s help it worked
You are a good man Sully
I wish that I had your faith
It is there my friend
Just spend more time in your garden
And you will sense God
Or walk in his parks and see his disciples at work
Plant a rose bush in your garden
And watch it grow
The opportunities are endless
