There’s a house in Hampton Court Park that I don’t want anyone to see. The purple entrance gate is so high that even two-meter-tall people have to stand on tiptoe to be able to see over it. However, if you try, you can expect a man with two snow-white dogs to appear. Apparently the security cameras are working. So the man with the two dogs walks along the gravel path in the direction of the front gate, past the snowdrops that adorn the lawn. Then he stops for a moment and says to the onlooker: “Don’t do that. There’s nothing to see here.”
