Half time in Germany v. Sweden. Just time to get another picture, so here are my shamrock. It’s lovely and sunny right now, so they’re wide awake, but they like to sleep at night. They seem to absolutely thrive on our chalky soil.

But I think it’s also time to take some action to maintain the frog-flora balance, here on Little Storping…
