I like its lime green colour and it is very easy to pull out if it plants itself anywhere inconvenient.I expect my bluebells are not the refined English variety. No matter.

    What's your weather like 2026

    If you believe the BBC forecast it was cloud with 50%ish possibility of rain between about midday and 3pm. Reality was cloudy morning with a warm, sunny if somewhat breezy afternoon.
