520 | _aWhen Sam and Lily marry and enter their pensionable age, they find themselves in Orton Villas, a retirement home run by Sunshine Homes and in particular, the management team of Bradley and Olga. It is a toxic mix, as Sam and Lily are both headstrong horticulturalists and they have chosen Orton Villas because of its gardening potential, but for some reason, Bradley and Olga do not want the residents to work in the garden at all. Arthur Gardner's Blooming Spoil Sports recounts the story of Sam and Lily as they face off against the dictatorial regime put in place by Bradley and Olga. Despite winning several horticultural awards, one from the RHS, Sam and Lily are gradually denied access to Orton Villas' gardens. Only one team will win out; will it be Sam and Lily or the evil Bradley and Olga? And what will happen to the bingo machine? | ||
