In my experience, you can have goats or you can have trees and shrubs, but not both. If you have goats, you have Billies and no sense of smell or no Billies. Mary's garden is quite vegetably in nature, but even that will not survive goating. Maybe "a" goat, maybe kept at the other end of the deck would be nice.
Roast lamb and sherry trifle to follow? You are a person of great kindness and exquisite taste. In my mind, I can already hear that unique sound a serving spoon makes as it prises out a great dollop of trifle. We will have the very best table cloth, the very finest cutlery and no throwing food.
Plaggy stewards, get your orders from Red-17. This will be civilised and decorous to acknowledge the efforts of Red, I will peel the potatoes.
