MINDLESS

First of all, many thanks for your concern and comments about the riots in London. When I woke up this morning to hear that the insanity had spread to other English cities I was shocked and so very disappointed. And now there have been deaths in Birmingham...

I am glad that the BBC is no longer calling the mindless thugs "protesters"; I am also pleased that the distinction is being made that they are NOT British riots - so far, they have been riots in ENGLAND.

It is deeply worrying that a racial element appears to be part of the latest unrest and that vigilantes are now on the streets.

In a bid to get back to some kind of normality, this is a blip of my neighbour's garden.

Edit: 15 August - I should have mentioned that I chose the title for this blip from Malc's comment of 9 August. Thanks mate.
