A business just fading away


      Patrolling the highways and byways of Cambridgeshire and West Norfolk the head-up display showed this piece of fading advertising wall art as we cruised past.
      Not quite one of those atmospheric gable ends that you see in France advertising Gitanes or Gauloise but it is a little bit of the jigsaw of local history.
      Holly Mount Floral Farm, 'all kinds of first quality bulbs' but sadly the rest of the text has faded away because of the attentions of the weather and neglect.
      Meanwhile our bulbs are pushing up through the ground but we have the feeling that we won't be able to match the Mount Holly Floral Farm display of bygone days. 
      We'll just have to keep on planting then.
