Garden and Allotment Updates

June 13, 2011 by

Claire and Charlie bought this (and it’s pair) after Freddie died last year. Claire, it is just so beautiful this year 🙂 I just love these two. The garden is nice at the moment, in a slightly wild and a bit too purple and blue sort of way. But these two just make me shiver […]
