How the garden grows


We moved into this bungalow in summer 2013. I just found a photo from back then and am amazed by how much the plants have grown. 

The fences on two of the boundaries were replaced. You can hardly see them now!

Hair still!

 When I was still at university I still had hair and was a lot slimmer, HI. I hope the link works as it its a photo of me about 55 years ago!
