It sounds beautiful Bedlam, I would love to see it.

Here is the hedge, I haven't posted any more photos from my holiday as they were upside down. Hope this one is ok.

It was Denise.  So much so as we drove past the proud owner had a tripod set up taking a photo. We snapped one on the way back.

Last night I set up a motion sensor light in the front garden.  Hope it will deter the wallaby.  Quite pleased with myself.  Maybe he will just see better what he is eating!

Chookie too late now for you and me ( as I pulled all my roses out because the Kangaroos wouldn't allow them to grow) I saw on gardening Australia a lady switched on a cheap battery operated radio, she said it kept them away. Be worth a try I reckon.

Bedlam , had thought of this,  worth a try. We have covered a lot of roses with cages.  Will remove them when the grow bigger.
