Gardener Irene Bray is celebrating after scooping two prizes in the Kidlington in Bloom competition.

Mrs Bray, 56, of Exeter Road, won the award for best-kept front garden for the second year running and also took second place in the hanging basket category.

She said: "I've got more or less all kinds of flowers in my garden, because I love lots of colour.

"I didn't expect to win this year, because I lost a lot of flowers because there was a late frost in June, just after I'd planted them. So I'm really pleased to have won."

The competition was judged by members of Kidlington Gardening Society.
