Betty,That first photo of yours! I could certainly unwind in that spot with a glass of wine, that view and those visitors!TO

Nature has many beautiful things to look at and on the other end of the scale, some minging things.I wonder which catagory this image falls into???

many thanks... would you know what product I would buy? Also I assume it would be best to use it as a spray on solution Its a real nightmare in terms of destroying and taking over everything!

Yep Hedgepig definitely.

Hi RichTwo of my friends had similar bites - followed by blisters last summer. One did get infected, the other didn't. (If you see any red veining - go to the docs immediately!!). One of their legs swelled up like an Elephants' and she had a couple of weeks off work - it was...

Thanks for the info. everyone. I followed up your suggestions with Google & came across this which I think fits in. I thought the angelica must have had an insect love potion, but know I know they are just friendly all the time.Never heard of bloodsuckers - as you say the innocence of...

By all means, pm me your e-mail address and I'll send you the original. I have tried to enlarge - but it just lost focus. Remember most of the picture is of a lakeland fell though - which was what I was taking.

Nice to see one again ... we had them on the IoW, beautiful birds.
