Very fine Rob. Hope Mrs smart bear doesn't have to trim around those stepping stones with the scissors. :)

I'm liking your Acer Rob (That's about the some total of my botanical knowledge) - your garden looks the ideal place for a glass of red on a warm summers evening, very nice!

Nice homely garden there Rob, looks a good place to get tipsy.

I like the Xmas and Easter island-esque face, my kind of ornament. :thumbsup:
