Weigela or red and pink flowery thing

I had to look up how to spell this and have to say I was going for eelia rather than an ela.

Got a few of them in the garden and they are one of those plants which does a great job for a few weeks and then forms a backdrop from then on. They do enjoy a good hard pruning after flowering but that is something I am fairly good at (maybe even too good)

Back to work. Carbon footpinting is fun but why is it that everyone is using this as a measure. We seem to have forgotten about habitat as it is unmeasurable. That being said, so many of the carbon footprints I've been looking at are so generic that they are as good as useless.
