A chequered career.

It was sufficiently wet today the Blip was, very nearly, a shot through the car windscreen.
The I saw this in the gathering gloom and its chequered past flashed across my imagination.
It began as a twig, accidentally snapped from a fuchsia LA bought while in the shop. It, as we szay in our funny vernacular "took bad ways" and another cutting was taken, it became an almost handsome standard, then one day I found it lying on its side with the majority of it (In fact all branches lying separated from the trunk.
It shortly became this. A couple or so weeks later it looked like this.
I'll shortly be playing safe and it'll find its self in th greenhouse, but it's not doing to badly now.

Not only has it been a trifle damp, there's been a bit of a breeze, that Sycamore leaf has come from at least 1/4 mile away and over the roof.
