Brilliant to find another part of this story! Perfect for reading on a Saturday afternoon :0) How on Earth are you keeping it going alongside the Sir Harry one?
Should this be disturbed? "Willow was pleased she’d disturbance that cat’s...

Posted on Sat, 05 Aug 2023

I am sorry it didn't work out this year. My flowerbed was not so good, either. As Rhiannon says, weather is maybe the cause, though wildflowers do not like to be told what to do I have found :0) So, when they DO flower it is even more special!...
