    I haven't got a Kindle but a Kobo which at the time could magnify the text which the Kindle couldn't do. It was handy when I was working to read whilst eating my lunch, I could prop it up and my hands were free. I still use it daily and you can download free books from the library service.

    Help needed with Buxus Plants!

    I removed all my Box this year due to box moth caterpillar damage. Not worth battling with it. Other alternatives if you want evergreen topiary are Yew, Ilex crenata and Euonymus Green Spire.
