Ladies, I'm so glad you brought that little topiary escapade back up, just as the scab had completely healed. A pinch of sea salt rubbed into the wound anyone? :}
My better half never learns though... She's gone off again leaving me to my own devices. She will be in the Philippines for the next 6 weeks, feet up, enjoying a cold one and touring 700+ islands while I sit here thinking up ways of getting into trouble again.
