It's lovely Bryony. A nice way to personalise something. Hope it continues to be successful for you The long tails are delightful. I haven't had them in this garden very often but we used ot get them regularly when we lived round the corner from here. Hopefully they'll return.

Ehhh...'cos they're not in my garden Paul They're on hills. First one is at Kinlochleven, en route to some of The Mamores - maybe at a round 1,000 to 1500 feet. The 2nd one is a lovely spot, on a hill near Glenshee, and everyone takes a photo of that little outcrop. You often find all sorts of little saxifrages and lichens etc in and around cairns on summits too. This one's at the junction of a ridge between two hills in Glen Nevis. Probably around 2,700 feet. Tucked in against the elements. Gorgeous little thing. I often spend time taking photos of little plants that survive some very severe conditions. It's a different world altogether

Superb pictures Fairygirl ; I wish we had that kind of terrain around here !
I was making a forlorn and dismal attempt of being amusing regarding the rocks being in your garden , but as my wife often tells me :- "Paul , don't try to be funny , it just isn't you" .
Guess I'll go to serious mode again . ........Oh well!!!!
Paul - I thought you were joking, but I wasn't 100% sure! Think I'd struggle to fit those rocks into my little plot I'm very lucky that I can visit these areas - couple of hours drive, or a bit more depending on the area. The Loch Lomond/Arrochar hills are much nearer - just over an hour or so. The contrasts between the rocks and bogs, and the fauna and flora are fabulous. Never fails to thrill me

Very fortunate Paul. I don't take it for granted. No finer place to be than on a summit on a decent day. Makes all the hard work getting up there worth it - in spades On a clear day, when I head down the hill near my house, I can see many of the Arrochar hills. When they have their snowy winter coats, and there'a blue sky, it's pretty stunning. I reckon we're quite well off for scenery in Britain - so many beautiful, and different, places.
