Rob....? You said that you weren't a Dr. Doolittle but.... I can see his lips moving!.... what were you really chatting about, then, eh?
What a character and what a great photo - so much personality! He looks like he could be a character actor on one of those (American) '50/'60s, B&W sitcoms. (We've been watching "My Three Sons", lately.)
Oh, the usual stuff... the size of the Head Gardener's rear quarters ()... the News International crisis... existential philosophy... and, of course, the decline in UK apple production.
BTW - these were shot with the G1 using the pop-up flash. I still find it hard to believe such a cheapish camera can take such nice shots.
