Big thank you to my husband for making the benches, I asked for 3 to go on the woodland edges/pond edge to park one's bottom, 2 done, 1 to do.

The Hesperis has such a gorgeous fragrance, too . . . I shall save this year's seed and spread it around even more. Last year found Tom Stuart-Smith's open garden and he has masses of it!

The Sweet Rocket does smell divine, especially on these damp evenings. All thanks to Amy and I keep the seed each year too and grow some in seed trays and throw the others around, would love them all through the woodland one day.

Welcome back Amy, have your visitors now gone? John is good, he always does a good job of everything too.

Hi Pansy, he got a bacon sandwich with egg and tomatoes after he'd finished the second one ;-)
