A POST FROM HILDA GOOBY "THE IRONY"

 I thought the club would like to share this photo. In spite of all the grief that Bizzie Lizzies have caused us this year, this cheeky thing has self seeded right underneath my neighbour's hanging basket. To add insult to injury, it has even sprouted in competition with the weeds there.  It will probably the last B.L. to be seen there for a few years now.



 

THANK YOU HILDA HOW SAD TO SEE THESE LOVELY FLOWERS GO

 what a fantastic idea!!!!!! thats an excellent use of the bits and bobs :) lovely!


I was at my son's in Brighton on the day,so unfortunately, was unable to attend. However, it is lovely to be able to see the garden photos. I am especially envious of that lovely lawn! Well done, Kathy & Peter.
