The home I live in is built on rock, on granite. In fact, some parts of it are actually hewn out of the rock. We do have some garden around the house, but there is also a far bit of decking because it’s a lot easier to build over the rock and add potted plants than it is to plant into the rock.

A few weeks into winter I noticed a plant growing up through a gap in between two planks on the deck – it surprised me because I know its rocky ground under there!

A while back a six-year-old I know was given a notebook with the words IDEAS printed boldly on the front of it. Straight away she had three ideas.
