I HOPE that whoever removed a large terracotta pot of plants/shrubs from my front doorstep, between 2.30am and 8.30am on Saturday, July 7, is taking as much pleasure from them as I used to!

The pot was a present from my son and as a keen gardener it made a lovely addition to my bright and colourful front garden - a sight I was often complimented on.

Now my doorstep is bare and the thieves must have muscles like Popeye because that pot was really heavy! Is nothing sacred anymore.?
