Sometimes you have to be quite patient but Frank and Rosie and Mr. Mo(mentum) all chose their own names.

Lost three trees - one Lilac was squished under the first downer and my only viburnum suffered many broken branches. Why not a single poppy survived is still a mystery.<br /><br />My daughters named all our cats but one.
