    Firstly, no idea what this is but it's looked like this for almost a year (no flower either)

    Secondly, this is popping up in all sorts of places :scratch: :dunno:
    I have seen something like it in the woods nearby.

    Thank you :)

          :doh: of course it is!! *senior moment* :heehee: Thank you :thumbsup:

          :huh: Blast! Not another foul smelling beastie to match my triffid :eeew: Mind you, I think it does have a pretty flower ... and ... I think it is wildlife friendly (?)
          I'll take out what I can be bothered with and leave a little because it has chosen me (and I don't have anything to put in its place as yet) :heehee:

            Ok, just located this little snippet:
            :th scifD36: :th scifD36: :th scifD36: *dreadful spelling!* :whistle:
            and it goes on ...
            :yes: :hapfeet: :hapydancsmil: :yahoo: :yes:
            As I happen to be a mosquito babe magnet ... this could be the answer to my prayers :love30:
            Just thank goodness Mr "M" has a poor sense of smell :oops: :roflol:

            :scratch: May make me slightly unpopular in the village though :scratch:

                  Don't panic M all is not lost, the answer may be in the form of "Avon skin so soft original", dry oil spray, used by the Army and many others to ward off mosquitos works for me

                    What a coincidence @Jiffy ... I met our local "Avon Lady" yesterday on my walk. Well, I've met her a number of times before, it was just yesterday that she "networked" me :heehee:

                    So, let me recap: eat marmite for breakfast, lunch dinner and supper tea; rub myself all over with Herb Robert and then spritz with "Skin So Soft (Original)" ... :dbgrtmb:

                    ... I'll be ....


                    .... resistible :wub2: :wub2: :wub2:
