Occasionally the odd moan or glum post will slip through, but that's not why I planted it.<BR/><BR/>Feel free to step through the little swing gate with its peeling green paint and infuriatingly endearing creak at any time.

The new hybrids from South East Asia promise things we could never have imagined, colours like black, blue and green, with weird appendages and markings.
