    I always thought that Astrantias were meant to be slug proof Flo?

    Oh, that's interesting, Sam. Maybe I'll try again in a different spot. If the slugs don't get them the chickens will image

    Haven't thought of any b's yet. Though I love bees - the buzzy pollinating kind image

    It's a pipistrelle sam. Taken from the bedroom window in the early hours when they come back to bed. So noisy they always wake us up. Counted 200 of them out of there the year before last but not so many last year.

    Oooh basil how could I forget?!

  • Oh wow! we used to go out for a run on the bikes and stop at a hotel for a tea to warm us up before heading home. It was fine up until about 9pm then we had to put our helmets back on as they were flying so low. I loved it. I am a massive bat fan...not surprisingly for a witchypoo lol

    Oh, Bells of Ireland?
