Mabel's Planter

Yesterday would have been Mabel's 8th Birthday, so it is lovely that 'her' rose was in full bloom.

This is the planter where Mabel is buried. The plan was to plant it with rabbit-friendly plants, although a few extras like 'love-in-a-mist' have seeded there.

The miniature rose is clearly thriving, but look at the parsley... this was an 'out of date' potted parsley, bought from a supermarket back in October to encourage her to eat. I always plant them in the garden in the hope they will continue to grow, but have never managed to keep one alive for this long, and certainly never seen one grow to this size. I wonder whether it's enjoying the remnants of Tramadol in the soil?!

8 Today!

Today is Dijon's Birthday. He has reached the grand age of 8 years and is expecting lots of treats! Here are a couple of pictures of him when we first met him and Mabel, back in July 2011. They looked so innocent... !
