    At the edge of the village, at the end of the street in a ramshackle old cottage surrounded by nothing but grasses was an old man called Lennie.

    Lennie was a sweet gentleman that the entire village knew, he always smelled of sweet lemons.

    Lennie would enter all the baking competition in the town and was famous for his Lemon cakes, Lemon cheesecakes, lemon muffins, lemon tarts and lemon cup cakes.
    Even his stir fry’s and curries had a lemon flavour, not that sharp sour lemon but a sweet subtle lemon.

    Lennie always had sweets in his pockets and yes, they tasted like Lemons.

    Nobody could quite figure out how Lennie got his supply of lemons, he didn’t have any lemon trees, many had gone over to see him just to find out, but no one ever saw lemon tress. However his home did always have that sweet lemon smell.

    It was March and the Village was getting ready for the annual Beautiful gardens competition, in The past year the village had grown a bit and the house that Lennie lived in was now not so far out and was included in the competition, However most of the town, although they loved Lennie and his cooking just couldn’t stand to see the scraggly grasses that surrounded Lennie’s house.

    We must go and help him clean up his garden they thought, We know he will win all the cooking competitions for us but his garden will let us down and could cost us the championship.

    So they all agreed they would go to Lennie’s home and give his garden a good makeover

    Lennie wasn’t at the meeting, in fact he had gone over to the neighbouring village to see Licorice Lucy, whom he had known for a number of years and they both shared the same passion for cooking.

    In Lennies absence, the Village all set about to transform Lennies garden into one of beauty that would surely win the garden competition as well.

    Lennie will be so thrilled said Amada, not only will he win the cooking again this year but he will also win a garden prize.

    Lennie was sitting down to a nice cup of tea with Lucy, she asked – How is all the Lemongrass doing Lennie

    Its magnificent said Lennie, this year it has multiplied and is growing throughout my whole yard. It is such a great ingredient for my baking and cooking, No one in the village can quite figure out how I do it.

    Lucy laughed as she sipped on her cup of Licorice Tea – You are a shoe in for the cooking comp again this year she said. You have mastered the art of using that Lemongrass, we don’t call you Lemongrass Lennie for nothing..

    Lennie always like visiting Lucy, she was so encouraging.

    As Lennie headed up the street to his ramshackle old cottage he saw a crowd of people out the front and wondered was going on, as he stepped out of his car the whole crowd started to clap and cheer the they parted and revealed his home,

    All the Lemongrass was gone and in its place was a Lawn with pansy borders and a circular bed of peonies.

    Lennie was speechless, he took out a sweet from his pocket and put it in his mouth, Oh dear he thought, I won’t taste that flavour again for some time.
