  Stunning, just how I remember it when I was a nipper growing up in Folkestone in the 50's.

  Nice photos Howard. Your Canon Powershot appears to be a good camera, lovely close up of the water lily.

  The Herald seems intent on bigging-up the vandals;"costs taxpayers thousands"
  
  It cost, an extra, £400 and caused no slight degree of upset to a number of individual, real, honest to goodness, people.
  
  The 'upset' would have made a better focus for the story.
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  agree tom the amount of money involved is miniscule whilst the upset to the people that work to provide us with such a tranquil and beautiful environment will be immense.

  not bad thinking there brian, the gardeners would probably agree with you.
