        Behind the name
        Named to celebrate the 25th anniversary year of Annie Tempest’s classic weekly cartoon. First published in Country Life magazine in January 1994, Tottering-by-Gently depicts the everyday capers of Dicky and Daffy Tottering, and their family, at Tottering Hall. The tongue-in-cheek humour cleverly addresses differing social perspectives of our time.

          Very good now it’s moved.

          Had it in an area that was probably too dry and any water drained quickly away. Now it’s been moved to a large pot, it’s fantastic and really stands out against a brown fence.
