Opening of a Sensory Garden

Despite the rain, a crowd turned out to witness the opening if a 'sensory garden'.

The beds were well stocked with heavily perfumed sweet smelling flowers.

The garden was perfectly placed beside inside a walled garden, protected from the winds.

The only snag was that it was also on a a grassy slope.

So the crowd of well wishers, viewed one poor sod, who tried in vain to push a partially sighted lady, in a wheelchair up to smell the flowers. And of course got stuck on the hill on a muddy grass slope....and had to be rescued.

Oh dear............................

Not sure if the camera crew from the local newspaper photographed that bit of the 'grand' opening.


10/10 for the nice thought and gesture.

3/10 for the planning and design.


We may have evolved in some ways - but maybe not in common sense.
