            Hi upsydaisy,

            What is this plant please. Looks very interesting. I am after some evergreens for the new border and really like variegated leaves.

            @rustyroots

            Just in case upsy isn't on at the moment, I may be wrong but it looks like an Euonymous to me. There are many varieties of variegated Euonymouses - or is it mice? :snork: We have loads in our garden.

                  That looks like sambucus nigra, but I could be wrong

                    Just got OH to pull some rhubarb. 3lb.11 Oz.
                    IMG_20170604_111136.jpg
                    I bake it with honey it keeps the flavour and not too sweet. Cover it with foil and cook until tender.
