I imagine this will look very pretty in a few weeks when it comes into blossom.

The Official Start
This looks like the official start mentioned in the leaflet.
That Cursed Fruit
Συκία - Fig
I'm allergic to figs. It is my own fault. I used to quite like them, but I made the mistake of heavily pruning our garden fig tree without due care and attention. I wanted to keep all the branches and sticks for fire wood, so I plucked all the leaves off them. Eventually, the fig tree fights back, and a chemical within the leaves built up to sufficient levels in my hands to become toxic. I soon had tiny blisters appearing all over the place. They didn't really hurt, but were annoying. I popped into a local chemist and showed them my condition, and they gave me a cream, which was very effective.
Ever since then though, if I even touch a fig leaf, my hand gets very itchy.
Water Feature
There is a water feature here too, which is more functional than ornamental.
