Even the smallest of gardens in a window box bring joy to an otherwise ordinary space. A garden is best when shared with anyone that passes by! Well, except for the "Secret Garden", that is a very personal spot. Nice to see that your city is filled with blooms and greens!jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-25630063430286105562015-06-29T07:11:34.280-07:002015-06-29T07:11:34.280-07:00Thank you Gina.

I think that you'd like the book's way of showing what huge changes have taken place in London during one lifetime.<br /><br />We are truly grateful for the flowers that appear around town.
