Not sure what type I have but it's under the buddlea so quite well shaded. I cut it right down to the ground before it flowers and, so ,far, it hasn't spread.

Not a game but I'm totally addicted to Zentangling. You do need a pen and something to draw on. I keep a little collection of old business cards with me and zentangle on the back when I need a quick pick me up.

Just wanted to share my excitement at mulberries after ten years of waiting. Woo hoo

Just testing a few things.

WOT ?? The best bit, and the skin on custard, and the skin on rice pudding, and the skin on milky bedtime drinks, and the skin on roast pork. What's that got to do with dock leaves though ?

Hi Pot, Kettle here!

Oh my goodness. Do I ever shut up?
