Nanny State strikes again. A mother of two has been threatened with arrest because she pulled a dead flower from a council bed! Angie Summers the unlucky gardener was on her lunch break when she saw a withered canna lily and decided to pluck the sucker from the bed. Well blow me down with a feather didn’t someone dob her into the council. Next thing she knew the police were at her door threatening her with criminal charges.
Psst The case was eventually dropped but not before wasting taxpayers money. Bravo.

Which is exactly why I never touch anything in my own yard… it’s a jungle out there.
where did this happen? I’m always picking bottlebrush from the street trees so I can feed it to my Rosella. If they try to arrest me for that I’ll sic Woody on to them!
I do that too. My eighbours love me. I weed their gardens when I’m finished with mine. They all work and I don’t now so I do what I can for them. It keeps all our properties looking good.
When I had the bigger house my garden was stunning. A paradise for native birds. Now that I’m at the beach I’ve planted grassy type stuff but a couple of Bottlebrushes to bring in the Honeyeaters. I also pull out weeds here and there on council parks when I see them. They’re just being anal! There is nothing more relaxing than an enjoyable garden to sit in. I love to sit and the back with a book and be distracted by the bird life. Magic!
Ann…in about a month can you come over and rake leaves for me?
