Summer is here again and the Broughton Place gutters and pavement edges are bursting into flower, writes local resident and optimist Michael Anderson.
Last year there were at least 27 species of flowering plants (excluding grasses!) in the street and along the pavement edges.
Prospects for this year look even better – in particular, watch out for foxgloves before too long!
