A New Look For The Hedge!


A big bunch of roses to the gorgeous Ellie at Rainy Day Templates for giving The Laurel Hedge a much-needed make-over. I'm slowly finding my way around the new layout & will be adding new features as I go during the coming days. This will include my Blog Roll which requires reloading. I'll be doing this with a glass of something bubbly & much scratching of my head! If I forget to reinstate you, please, please let me know! I hope you're as happy here as I am.

    Oh, it's perfect, and still has 'Mill's' written all over it. It looks as if we are all sprrucing ourselves up.
    Ellie has done such a lovely job on 'The Hedge'. It is still 'you' and hasn't lost any of it's charm.
    Beautiful, Mill's, just beautiful. XXXX

    It's a super new look - simple and eye-catching. The hedge gets its due prominence. Are there moths hidden in there...?
