    He's a gendarme and originally from the Ardennes.   French style is a propaganda myth.  There's the same mix as in the UK or Belgium - some know how to combine colours and styles to be chic or classy or fun but most don't.

    To be fair to many local nurseries and garden centres, they may never have done much in the way of on-line ordering and delivery in the past.  They are also learning as they go.

    Now he's got a policeman's hat on. It gets better and better! Im hoping he has hairy legs and a pot belly too.
    Please don't show a photo. It's bound to be a disappointment.

    Getting on for high school age those peas.... :D

    I have a mini blackboard by the kitchen door. Monday's version looked like this...



    but after facing the marauding hordes at the supermarket on Tuesday, it looked like this....


    The self portrait is very accurate too ...
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
