Clari - when I told people they just said - it's about time...
Daisy - people are just horrible. There seems to be an element that just likes to 'destroy'. I invested in a ( fairly inexpensive) camera to catch the dog which kept 'relieving' itself in my garden on a regular basis. You can get the fake ones for about a tenner - that might even be worthwhile - just to let them think they might be seen. It's very upsetting, not to mention worrying that someone is on your property when you're not there.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Daisy, im really sorry to hear about the vandalism, this has happened to my mom too, if you can take anything from this its that your garden was so lovely that jelousy was probably what caused this "person" to pull the flowers off
A few years ago my mom sadly had to have her cat put to sleep, the cat (molly) was buried in the front/side garden and a magnolia planted above her which of course we called molly magnolia. The whole family went cornwall, on return, the magnolia has been stolen, and of course the ground disturbed, my mom was so upset it actually made her want to move!
Well done Phillippa - that's quite the gift you have there! I think I'm going to refer to them as my engagement aloes from now on!
Fairygirl - in less than a minute of telling my mother she had changed the subject onto how worried she was that my brother didn't have a girlfriend (or boyfriend for that matter). I think we can all guess whose the favourite child!
A couple of years ago a bunch of drunken lads went down my Mum and Dad's road and upturned every planter in every front garden that they could find
Slightly more humerously we had two very young children living across the road and one day I spotted them leaning across the garden wall picking all the tops off the daffodils. They smiled and waved to me They didn't know they were doing anything wrong. They shouldn't have even been crossing the road by themselves but did the parents care Oh - that's the first time I've used the angry face. I need a slice of that cake now please
Of course it might have been children who didn't know/hadn't been taught any different - maybe leaving the flowers there was part of them being taught that they mustn't pick other people's flowers.
Folks - re the Quote facility (or sudden lack of same) Daniel has reported it to the techies
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Well I have been out and found a few more stems lying about that I didn't spot last night, but then I spent far more time deadheading so really it isn't bad. Not like Molly Magnolia, I would have been devastated too. Some people are horrible, Fairygirl, but most of them are lovely, so I won't allow the horrible or ignorant to crowd out the lovely. And on that note:

bekkie - I think you're right. Jealousy is often the reason for that type of incident. I can't understand that at all.

Still, at least no one has asked if I'm pregnant.
Have a lovely weekend OL!
Clarington - I think we must share the same mother
