Sometimes a laid-back approach to gardening and maintenance can be a good thing. These bright poppies appear to have self-seeded into the cracks and gaps of the Yorkshire stone paving, creating this impromptu garden on the edge of the pavement, along one of Saltaire's streets of terraced houses.
Looks so pretty Jenny..these wild poppies really soften the brickwork of the building..it always amazes me some of the weird and unlikely places wildflowers and weeds pop up.
