Chris, the gardener for H and R, made these miniature gardens in the hollows in the top of the wall with a little chillie and some baby cactuses (cacti).
They are about 8 inches high.
Found this in the kitchen sink and not happy. It is called a Scutigera coleoptrata and they have found their way over here from southern Europe as we get warmer. They eat woodlice which may explain why I have fewer this year but perhaps prefer the woodlice as at least I can pick them up. Would NOT pick this up. Had to ask Rob to come and dispatch it with Raid.
