The greatest knife in the Italian house and world. Will cut through anything, can be used to chop, peel, spread anything you'd use a knife for. The tip also can be used as flathead screwdriver

These photos don't do this rose colour justice. In real life the vibrancy is so strong it looks like they've been photoshopped. No idea what rose it is, anyone any ideas? #Gardening #Roses

Who says peat free compost is rubbish for growing stuff. If the watering is right you can grow anything, I believe this is a little aubergine or as Americans say eggplant.

Wow the blooms almost finished on this (Dracaena?). I'm kind of glad because each evening the scent has been getting stronger and stronger. Tonight as I've come in it's like a punch to the nose.

Love this one at my sisters house. When she first moved in she wanted to get rid of it. Persuaded her not to, but I'll get first dibs on it if it needs rehoming.
