I remember we had a 'conker' tree close to us as kids, and would go down and collect them, some of them I remember being huge. The weather has been fantastic and your plants are thriving on it, your collection of shrubs look really good together. We had cockerels on the farm, and they were damn pests really! xLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800196831833931842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-37060211608214027272008-05-11T21:12:00.000+01:002008-05-11T21:12:00.000+01:00I'd love a wooden Stanley.. yours is fantastic.
