Update
I have added 'Facebook Likes' to the top of each post. Please spread the word about the blog. I have also added a Pintrest button. If you hover your cursor over an image, it can be pinned. I plan to make a few more changes shortly to enhance the enjoyability of this celebration of Bicton Gardens.
