So much to think about while the lights change . . .<BR/><BR/>And then I read Easygardener's comment . . . <BR/><BR/>. . . but are you remembering that although the man who was poisoned by an umbrella (Georgi Markov) had the deadly dose injected beside Waterloo Bridge in London - he's buried at Whitchurch Canonicorum. What's that, would you say . . . about twenty miles from Weymouth?<BR/><BR/>. . .

Especially as it was in every single bed along the sea front - usually more than 1 in each bed. In fact, I find it preferable to the Marigolds in the pictured shot. <BR/><BR/>AB - thanks for letting me know :). I'll post up the answers when everyone's had a bit more time to look at the picture. BTW a clue re the sheep - in this case it's playing When Irish Eyes are Smiling and was a secret santa present at work one year!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-870966433967711662008-08-12T12:04:00.000+01:002008-08-12T12:04:00.000+01:00sorreee but I LOVE that ricinus.
