Clever Gardening Tip

It's almost a courtyard garden, behind Half Moon Cottage, with the back of Half Moon House looking down on it from one side, and a third house on the other. The fourth side is open to Lion Street.
So it's quite a small space - but they've certainly made the most of it. They've put up big mirrors on the wall of the house, to give the illustion that the space is a lot bigger than it really is.

That's funny, as we were just visiting Hay on Wye last weekend and came across this garden! I wonder if you were the lady who walked past as I was commenting on the clever use of the dressing table mirrors? The only thing was, that the birds kept on flying into the mirrors, not understanding their own reflections!

That wasn't me, I'm afraid - there was no-one else about when I passed by.
One of the neighbours tells me that the sparrows went mad when the mirrors were first put up - but they seem to have got used to it now.
