After all that effort, the garden looks more moonscape than landscape.<BR/><BR/>Darling Dulwich Mum - the blue teeth look is never an attractive one (although I find it can offset the bloodshot eyes rather nicely).<BR/>I can smell that Krug cork from here. Cheers!<BR/><BR/>Rilly - You are right, I think H was using the hedge trimmers as a sort of light sabre protection. It was his Darth Vader against my Obi -Wan Kenobi. That would have to be the Alec 'Guinness' version of course (no more jokes about Ewan McGregor's mighty sword please).<BR/><BR/>beta mum - were you wearing extra-thick wellies?
