    Fantastic plant and pic roders.
    Be a few months before we can even expect to see such things again.

    [​IMG] [​IMG] I am a firm believer Pete that you have to have bad weather to appreciate the good.

    I go along with that, up to a point.

    There have been years when we've only had bad weather and hardly any good to appreciate. ;) [​IMG]

    We had the best ever summer in the garden. But we never really feel it's "Real Summer" until we find ourselves on a beach. Must be a relic of the days when "Summer + Beach" = Holidays!

    It was the Ionian Sea in October and rather windy too. However much more interesting to look at than the usual calm.
    Pity I couldn't get sound on with the graphics as it was the type of sound that is utterly relaxing. Our holiday rooms are about 15 m from the sea and it's just great to listen to the sea as you fall asleep at night (or at siesta time!) [​IMG]

    Sounds good, Dave W. We have CDs of these sorts of things, sea, thunderstorms (brilliant), trains, etc. All very soothing for inducing sleep. Snore ... [​IMG]
