With regard to the article in the Exmouth Journal of July 9, "Garden signs stolen when advertising the open gardens" event, I wonder if the perpetrators of this mindless vandalism could have been the same persons/people who, once a day for three days running, ripped down and destroyed my posters, mounted on my garden wall, during the recent elections?

I wonder if these mindless idiots have a hate against gardens in general or, perhaps, politicians in general. The latter being quite understandable in the current climate I feel.

Oh yes, the open gardens went off very well indeed on Sunday, far more participants than the organisers expected I gather, and all very complimentary too.,
