      Hi Woo.
      Spider webs everywhere now.

      Not many left now, but, I thought they grew hops in a "garden".:)
      And then put them in a "pocket".

      Guess you used to go picking the hops, never tried it myself.

      Dont see many these days John, we used to have them all over Kent but I think the change in drinking habits and the imports have more or less killed off the home grown ones.
