Success!

Lovely lazy day sorting our my excess baggage and getting ready for tomorrow's flight. The Sister's hydrangea is not quite in full bloom but has done pretty well. (see here for the tale.)

Managed to squeeze in another afternoon of fizz so it's probably time to head home for a strict diet and detox. It has been a lovely trip.

Thank you to everyone involved. You know who you are :) For those of you I missed - I will be back!

Even in the smallest and humblest garden, a sturdy hydrangea at once proclaims the place as the abode of a real gardener rather than a mere purchaser of plants to cover the landscape.
