Ever been had?

Last week a disaster struck.  Or at least it did in the Gardening Department.  Sue announced that her dahlias which she had been 'storing' overwinter had been eaten by mice and the remains were going mouldy!  Sue was almost in tears at this discovery.  However, she lept into action and ordered a quantity of replacements from her favourite supplier in the UK (as luck would have it they were on the point of packing a previous order and were able to add to it!!!!)

Curiously, a few days after this awful discovery, Sue informed me that ... she doesn't know how but some of these dead plants are trying to grow.  So the arrival today of two boxes of dahlias means that we are now overflowing!!!

I expect a very colourful display this year.
