    I can all but smell that! Mmm :) 

    I don’t know how to do clever things with pics, I just upload them from my phone. For expanding I do the ‘fingers on the screen thing’…

    And no, that’s not the general standard of the gardens here sadly. It was one particularly beautiful spot. The rest were very nice, pretty plants etc but nothing special :shrug:

    I still like the 'ordinary' gardens, though. They make me feel better about ours. Also, when someone gets a feature totally right, or does something extra creative on a budget, I feel inspired to see what's possible. We have pretty much unlimited space, but limited time, money, and physical ability, which is also true of other locals, many of whom share the problems we have in a windy, and occasionally harsh, locality.

    Here's a tad nippy too, around 12 degrees vs 19/20 earlier in the week. I had to pull the duvet over last night (window still open though!) and it's a hoodie rather than a t-shirt today. 

    According to the forecasts no rain until the weekend, so still watered my strawberries this morning.
