Chrys Browne
was out and about with her camera as Farringdon residents opened up
their Gardens for Public Scrutiny ( whoever he is ) To liven
up your day you can play " Spot The Garden " in this photo

but is the result of a slight administrative cock up in the Farbiz nerve
centre - i.e losing the identifying list (possibly due to the tenth
aniversary celebrations) - while some of the garden features can
be identified I thought it wiser not to tempt fate by putting names
to photos so enjoy - SPOT
