Is that an obscure Led Zep reference?

Well spotted, the bike is about a year older than the song.

Perhaps the mods could move this thread to Photo Gallery so others can post their bikes if they wish? Thread wasn’t intended to be just about vintage bikes.

What kind of hedge is it?

I believe the section at the left by the back wheel is Bay. It will probably be trimmed by some gardening contractor who will just dispose of the clippings for composting and then we go into a supermarket and buy a pot of 10 leafs for a quid that have come from the Mediterranean. Winds me up!

A mature boundary hedge with a variety of different species including trees.

Perhaps I’m missing a business opportunity?

I found ripped-up Frankie Vaughan under a local hedge the other day (embarrassing, as I was walking back from the shops with my teenage daughters). I thought that practice had died out with the Internet.

I thought it was somewhere on your outings not your garden! I have 2 massive bay trees, we use a few leafs at the works Christmas curry, but the rest fill up the green bin on pruning day. I often think I should do a deal with the local Indian.

They need to be dried before use ideally.
