Twiggy.

I was dispatched by the Redhead this morning to get a few branches of this lovely stand of bushes in their winter finery. She wants to use them to brighten up a dull corner.
I have my misgivings about cutting them. If everybody did that there would be none left. My favourite place on earth, Portsalon Beach, springs to mind.
They have a motto there....
Take nothing away but your memories.
Leave nothing behind but your footprints.
I think I'll assuage my conscience by planting a few slips in rooting powder. They would look great in the garden.
