Sue always greeted people with a smile on her face and a spliff in her hand

Sue always greeted people with a smile on her face and a spliff in her hand...’Tales From Trunkwell’ was a book that Sue and I were writing when I worked at Thrive. It was meant to be a light hearted look at the work of therapists in the garden. This is the first picture for the book and the story is based on part truth and part myth, and most definitely it happened before Sue and I worked for Thrive…

The story goes that in the garden before the Geoffrey Udall Centre there was a small out crop of cannabis grown by an enterprising client – who just brought in some strange seeds and wanted to see if they would grow. Grow they did and medicinally speaking the project, clients and staff were favourable pleased with the results. Then came the fateful day when the stash was found and burnt to the ground sending wafts of paranoia towards the villagers of Beech Hill – In fact the day is recorded in the Beech Hill council notes…7.00 pm meeting opened big dog, strange pink elephants floating around the Elmtree. The meeting closed inexplicably early.

If this story has affected you please speak to Frank.
