Pyracantha in the garden ...

Cheating really because pyracantha is not a wild thing at all. Bear with me, suspend your disbelief for a moment...

Before we moved into this house, in fact before we even got the keys to it, we heard the gossip. It's apparently quite a notorious house, and garden, famed for .... well, I'm too embarrassed to say really. Enough to say that the neighbours - and as far afield as the other end of the village - are relieved to have quiet, retired pensioners who have done with all their wildness.

HAH!!!

Wild thing you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing

And if you are old enough to remember those lines, you'll be with me all the way :-)
