                      Comma.

                      Whilst my daughter's back from uni for the summer she's been doing voluntary work at a nearby NT property that has a couple of lakes surrounded by meadows where many areas of Thistles have been left and with the right conditions they're smothered with Butterflies, Moths, Bees, etc., plus Damsel/Dragon Flies abound and it's somewhere I'm enjoying long walks (and so is Pup).
