"The hole is for the fallen and partially rotten apples
Surely they go in the brown recycling bin ? Some people ask for unwanted fallen fruit to make cider, preserves etc."
These were rotting. I got to them too late. The good ones will be consumed |

"And I really enjoyed it.
Very satisfying"
When I was child I would dig what I thought was a huge hole in the back garden with a spoon. The purpose of my hole was to try and speak to people in Australia, i would shout in the hole and listen out for any noise coming back.
After a lot of failure and many holes later I gave in trying to reach out to the people who live on the opposite side of the world and hung up my hole digging escapades.
The only outcome I had with my holes was my dad's sprained ankle as he mowed the lawn and put his foot down a hole and burying my brothers lego. Result

There I was
A digging this hole
A hole in the ground
So big and sort of round it was
There was I
Digging it deep
It was flat at at the bottom
And the sides were steep
When along comes
This bloke in a bowler
Which he lifted and scratched his head
Well, he looked down the hole
Poor demented soul
And he said
"Do you mind if I make a suggestion?"
Don't dig there
Dig it elsewhere
You're digging it round
And it ought to be square
The shape of it's wrong
It's much too long
And you can't put a hole
Where a hole don't belong
I ask, what a liberty, eh?
Nearly bashed him right in the bowler
Well, there was I
Stood in me hole
Shovelling earth
For all that I was worth I was
There was him
Standing up there
So grand and official
With his nose in the air
So, I gave him
A look sort of sideways
And I leaned on
My shovel and sighed
Well, I lit me a fag
And having took a drag I replied:
I just couldn't bear
To dig it elsewhere
I'm digging it round
'Cause I don't want it square
And if you disagree
It doesn't bother me
That's the place where
The hole's gonna be
[Verse 3]
Well, there we were
Discussing this hole
A hole in the ground
So big and sort of round it was
It's not there now
The ground's all flat
And beneath it is the bloke
In the bowler hat
And that's that

You need a bigger tool to reach Australia 
I used my dad's shovel and reached Aus in three days aged 6 |

"What type of shovel did you use?
A garden fork and shovel. Standard issue 1980s model I would guess
Vintage equipment. Did you wear gloves? "
Not for this job. Usually do. Bareback on this occasion |

"What type of shovel did you use?
I have an amazing tool for digging. Rootslayer
Oh here that looks like a mighty fine shovel  "
It's great at digging in overgrown areas, the design really does help slice through root bound soil. Heavy though, and you sort of use that weight to propel it into the ground |

My hole was rectangular. So Mr Bowler wouldn't be giving me a bashing.
That sounds so wrong |

I love the serrated edges on it |

"Did you stick with tradition and make sure there was an old boy standing to the side looking down into the hole to make sure you were doing it right
Preferably leaning on a shovel"
"What you wanna be doing is..." |

Reminds me of the Harry Enfield character "you don't wanna do it like that....." |
