Honey has a slight murmur that developed when she was seven. She's now nearly ten, and it has progressed any further.

Nothing better than one's own. We have just one pot of them similar size to yours, not lifted yet. Enjoyed the last of the peas yesterday before the plants dry up in this unexpected sunny weather. So sorry to hear the news about your lovely Archie. I know he'll be getting extra TLC.
