Fixed....

The gardener's chitty said "Fixed clematis".

Didn't think it needed fixed but went to look. No, beautifully climbing, happy and healthy Clematis Montana. And here it is.

Then I remembered that there was a poor, bedraggled specimen beside the old Oil Store building. Sure enough, Chris and Nicola had staked him all up again, spread him out a bit, and tidied up the area where he stands.

But he would still be far too embarrassed to appear in his present state. Maybe one day.
