And I commiserate with you over your scruffy neighbours! It looks a complete mess!

London planes as I know them (ironical eh) were also planted in NZ streets and I remember childhood fascination with their nobbly crowns. About the time I became a council gardener, a new parks superintendent allowed the local trees their head, which was an education for me and one of my jobs was pruning to restore natural shape from their pollarded state. <br />On now to those gorgeous costume images...Lady Mondegreen's Secret Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638813551209321151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-56794261058078296502012-04-11T21:48:37.849+01:002012-04-11T21:48:37.849+01:00Time was I'd be filling sketch books with obse...Time was I'd be filling sketch books with observations like this.
