The apology was for the breakdown in moderating, not the personal slurs, but I take your point. I have no wish to speak further to either of the people concerned, but I would rather not be seen in the way they sought to portray me. Obviously I have no control over that, and people will think what they want. I wasn't intending to mention it again beyond the one jokey comment. The sheep are my witnesses!

No I have no clue from my lap top...I tried again last night to no avail..
The thing is it's like a weed the way it spreads so it's not rare, one neighbour gave me a nickname for it but didn't know the proper name and i forget the nickname, it has silvery green leaves, pink flowers on stems which grow between 12-18" tall. when it dies back the leaves lighten in colour but not by much. I was astounded non of the garden centres knew what it was.

Without any sort of scale ..Saxifraga maybe, some of which is known as London Pride

Cheers Sara that works ...That is our local Sparrowhawk sat on the fence just outside the window after finishing off a collared dove main course on our lawn....killed a few birds round here

Out of the bedroom window last year, draining the pond at that point so it's a mess (Even more of a mess at the moment but the newts are happy) and more than half the garden not visible here as it goes back another 60-70 foot after the path you can see.

Wrens - was sat down the bottom drinking tea when a wren on it maiden flight, still with some old downy feathers, had to stop off for a breather on the table, tiny thing about 2/3rds the size of it parents - they nest in our hazel hedgerow
Nuthatches - 4/5 babies lined up on the shed roof at one point
Song Thrush - 3 young fledged we reckon, fun birds to watch hopping all over the garden looking for slugs/worms/snails etc
Blackbirds, we get those every year. They nest in the conifer hedge
and for the first time ever - Goldfinches, we saw two very young birds with the parents in one of the many watering points in our garden
Long Tailed tits, walking down the garden there they were sat on a branch in the rhody
