                                           Ian.  Sitting down on the job, but looking happy.
              Carmen and Kate in the front pond, wondering when will it end?  all this weeding..?
                                                                    Christine.

 Henry Ford had nothing on this system.  All in a row working on the NCG sign...

                                                    Carmen wondering where to start.

Alistair searching for that elusive something. Must be somewhere in the deep. Chris philosphically looking on.

                                                    Down by the bottom pond.

                                                       And another unbelievable tea party.

And another birthday..I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll gently blow your house down..  It is a fairy story isn't ?

                                                            What a laugh. Fantastic.
                                                                     and a giggle..
                                                            Yoohoo anybody for tea?
                                                                  Well Done.


                                      Bees, bees, bees, bees, and more bees.  Fantastic.





                         Elizabeth tells us that's her behind that beautiful ENORMOUS cabbage.

                                                             Definitely to be shared.
                             Not sure what's happening behind there, but I'm going home.
