    My photo isn't worth putting up.



    I'm feeling vindicated as my garden of chaos is also full of weeds wildflowers  :)

    I think four of the original Rolling Stones can be seen on the right. Naturally, Bill Wyman is squashed behind the others, so he's barely visible, but that's better than visibly bare. :o Brian Jones is the one missing, of course. :/

    I read on FB there was thunderstorm went through here overnight night, like a Typhoon. I slept through it and the garden, apart from looking a bit wet but still upright.
    I've not checked but any potential runner beans left by the snails have probably been wrenched off with the storm

    I'll have to prowl round later to check for damage but all looks OK from the upstairs windows
