Ooh that's absolutely stunning! Lots of time and tlc I'm thinking. I'm ashamed to say we ignore ours a lot... go away and leave it to fend for itself. It's a postage stamp compared to yours but it's mostly flowering shrubs these days... very low maintenance. Thanks for sharing the pics

So do I. That's why I don't do it. Non needed in the modern world.

It would be interesting to do a poll to see how many people do any ironing nowadays

My mum used to iron my hair for me in the 60s! We all wanted to look like Cathy McGowan or Sandy Shaw but ended up more like Neil from the young ones

Peace and lentils everyone...

My big sister always told me my curly hair was a mess when I was in my teens. She used to put a massive roller on top of my head (after a hair wash) then wrap and pin the rest of my hair round and round my scalp using the roller as a central anchor. When it was dry she unpinned it and hey presto, straight(ish) hair. I never even wanted it straight, but it wasn't wise to argue with my big sis! When I got a bit older I just let it be and never bothered since, that's why I look like a scruffy sheep dog

I get the sheep shearer to hack it every couple of months or so, but only so I can still see out of my eyes

I prefer the smaller varieties of clemmies, the big ones are a pain in the *rse as they tend to suffer from the wilt, but the rest of the species are easy and generally disease-free. But, a lot of peeps like the big, showy ones so I grow those too. They pays the money, so
