Thieving Little..

Well after six months we've finally become victims of north London crime.

In the dead of last night our three topiaries and lovely Columbia Road planters were half-hinched from outside our front window / light well. (They had grown and filled-out a lot since this photo from my March entry).



Some four foot high and full of earth these beauties would have been rather heavy and awkward to maneuver -- which suggests malice aforethought. The heist would have required detailed and careful planning and the involvement of more than one n'er-do-well and a sizeable get-away vehicle.

Mine and Emmie's walks will now extend beyond the park. We will become an eagle-eyed 'dynamic duo' patrolling the neighbouring streets in search of our planting and in defense of all good law-abiding amateur horticulturalists everywhere.

So, garden robbers of N16 -- you've been warned..
