We had some big wind here too, it blew over two sections of fence, and the back garden is a mess of huge branches. Of course, I'm still getting over this abysmal cold, and Nigel, after nursing me for a week, is finally coming down with it himself, so neither of us is any good at putting the fence back together. We've called a guy from a fencing company to see if they can help.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-15686249928348107562019-01-07T10:59:48.091-08:002019-01-07T10:59:48.091-08:00I AM properly jealous, not just over the Calliacar...I AM properly jealous, not just over the Calliacarpa berries but also the Garrya catkins!
