Welcome to one of the busiest roads in London. I'm standing beside three lanes of heavy traffic and the cars are hurtling past – but that's tremendous, because it means the drivers are too busy to notice me. A fluorescent yellow jacket is not everybody's idea of a disguise, but I'm wearing my bright cycling top so that if anybody notices me they might think I'm a contractor working for the local authority. After all, surely only somebody working for the council would dig a hole beside a busy road and plant an apple tree. That's what I'm doing, in my ongoing attempt to turn the town into the country. |
