| Introduction | According to Wiki a garden hermit was (or is?) a hermit encouraged to live in purpose-built hermitages, follies, grottoes, or rockeries on the estates of wealthy land-owners, primarily during the 18th century. Such hermits would be encouraged to dress like druids and remain permanently on-site, where they could be fed, cared-for and consulted for advice or viewed for entertainment. In my case most of that could be correct – except the wealthy landowner in the 18th century bit… Oh – and the ‘dress like a druid’ bit – though I won’t rule that out totally… Apparently, one garden hermit in Surrey, was reportedly sacked when he was found ‘carousing’ in a local pub. I’ll have to take that risk, otherwise I’ll never post anything on this blog, which you can view for entertainment (if you have nothing better to do).
