      That's kind, Michael, thank you! It's very far from being what I envisaged. Now I know why all the land around is farmed :biggrin:

        We don't get the colour change in the Autumn but come into our own in the Spring with Callistemon viminalis, Photinia 'Red Robin' and Bougainvilla ... Front Patio2 15 Apr 23.jpg

                  Is that a pink Hawthorne tree @Sienna's Blossom ? They are pretty. There used to be a big one in a village near here but the council chopped it down and put a road sign there :frown:
