Three -The Rivals! Covered All In Green-O

While these are not rushes that green the day, this is the first time Bart Brassica - now with two pin-tack eyes to watch with, has been actually seen with Mr Farmhand and the infamous Frank Winkler. Is that a lily-pad Mr Farmhand is perched on?  Rural work comes in many guides, and as we see here a selection of hats. And does this signal a reclamation of Bart Brassica's bucolic business? 

Bart's Momento Mori - or a Question of Skulduggery

Bart's return to  Hunterdon County has not been without some posturing, here he has climbed up high on a disused cranium to survey his old haunts.  Granny Egg, who says she always suspected Bart of skulduggery, claims he his new complexion is due to plastic surgery, and not as Bart  has been putting around, due to his conquering Death. And this does not even start to why Bart now has two eyes.

Mavis, who first spotted Bart in the Hellebores, says this photograph, with its sharp shadows and momento mori shows Bart's  level of  'getting-it-togetherness'. This may be due to Mavis having cracked her head diving into the empty municipal pool ( see swimming-in-heavy-weather).  In any case Mrs Woo-star has gone to Ground.

Breaking News -Bart Brassica has been to Hellebore and is Back

Look who Mavis  Eggwhistle  found pitching in in  the Hellebores.  Mavis said it is sight for two eyes, and she is more than perplexed, firstly Bart reappears, looking younger than ever, and now with double-barrelled vision.  All he has said by way of explanation is that he has been to  Hellebore and back. Mavis is  not sure, is this really the Bart Brassica of old, or is it a case of the Return of the Martin Guerre's?  Who cares says Mavis, it is a Red Bucket day at the Whistlestop Floriste Shoppe!
