Now I'm getting images of a masked bandit digging up my clivias at 3am.
don't laugh, garden theft happens all the time around Carlton
A woman I used to work with lived in Kew in a very nice street with a lot of very nice neighbours - included politicians and captains of industry. Her agapanthus bed kept getting raided by plant pirates. She tucked a placard at the back of the bed saying Smile! You're On Candid Camera! Raids stopped. I mean, who nicks agapanthus?
maybe they were dwarf white agathaspants
Nope, just the regular blue ones. Like, so so ordinary. Why would anyone bother to nick them? I'm still scratching my head over that one.
