I’ve spent most of today finishing off tidying up the conservatory. It’s not been a bad day although I only managed to see Lady Alex in a formal capacity this morning when she said for me to finish off the conservatory and if possible change the soil in the greenhouse border. One of the things she wanted to talk to me about yesterday was with regard to growing plants from seeds and would I be happy to do that for her. Of course I don’t mind at all and sort of took it for granted we would be doing that anyway but it seems the last gardener preferred to buy them in as plants. So over the next few days she is going to be looking through the seed catalogue and then sometime next week when his lordship has gone home we will meet to discus what she picked.
This morning I met a guy called Frank who lives in one of the rented houses and he didn’t seem to have much of a good word to say about the family. In his opinion they have no idea about how to run the estate. If you listen to him it seems like the only ones who are any good for anything are the gamekeeper and his lad and the last gardener who is supposed to have got fired! I think I would rather be in the gardens out of the way because it drives me nuts when people are back stabbing like that.

I’ve seen nothing of Lord A, I’ve yet to meet him as everything was handled through the agent before I started here, there are still a couple more days yet though so no doubt I will see him some time. It’s important that I get to know my enemy!

Good luck man! Remember there's gonna be backbiters everywhere you go, at least they've exposed themselves to you. Don't tell them anything you want to keep private, it can be a barb they will use even years down the road that's what is so hard about marriage sometimes. I envy you and your good Lady A, it sounds like a great place to be. Don't let the class thing hurt you, even the high rollers keep secret lovers. Hope you get the chance to be sweet to her for Valentines before the weekend!
