                            The front " postage stamp " garden is displaying well today :

                            Fuschia Delta's Sarah is very active this year. The harebells from Dover cliff are loving this cooler, damper August. And the little rose I received as a "houseplant" gift in early June has transformed itself into a growing teenager and is about to bloom again.
                            And the sun has just appeared...life is good,
