6.5: A new arrival at the Potting Shed
Fabian seems to wait until after breakfast, when there are not many creatures around to arrive, apparently by chance, at the Potting Shed. By now, he should have been hidden in the wheel arch of a transcontinental goods lorry, well on the way to the Big Smoke. But one inexplicable, uncharacteristic and unnerving lapse of concentration while crossing a busy road has sent him, pell-mell, across the fields and the proximity of the fast flowing stream has led him, willy-nilly, to the Potting Shed. Like an American cowboy tying up his horse outside the saloon before stepping inside, Fabian mentally dismounts his own haste and slithers into the Potting Shed. Shortly afterwards, he has an interview with the Chairman of the Potting Shed who is otherwise working through his inbox. But we will only hear about this, and only a little, in a few episodes’ time.
