Just checked it this morning, still loads of the stuff. Deleted my account, blocked them on social media. Who needs that crap?

Isn't this the exact same legacy she has displayed for at least ten years? Same old situation.

This part of the garden has a bit of the English Garden feel. Just need to work on the rest of it.

I loved doing the May Pole dance. I hadn't heard of Lei Day. Was there a dance or other routine created around a lei for the day?
