Joe and I visited Dad's grave in Devon today and planted a new plant called an Aureomarginata which we bought on the way from a garden centre. The man there was very helpful and assisted us in choosing a suitable plant which was hardy enough to withstand the strong sun and wind on the hill where Dad's buried. It has strong smelling purple/red flowers in March and then red berries in April to match the Rowan tree, which, as you can see, is doing well! Above is a picture of the daffodil Nic planted last year which David and Linda had left for Dad.
After the planting of the new plant, we said goodbye and went for lunch to the Fisherman's Cot in Bickleigh where Dad loved to go, and saw 'The bridge over Troubled Water'. We then drove on to Exeter, passing Burrow Combe farm and Stockleigh Mill.
