                    well done on "just grey highlights" I do enjoy gardening, I know it has been said by many, I find gardening therapeutic, really relaxing gives me a peaceful serene feeling (believe me I need that having survived 30 years in the financial services) :smile:, and you can be nosey, I like inquisitive people, this is my bike, a beautiful Italian red, (the photo makes it look orange for some reason?)
                    had it 10 years now, Honda 600sf Hornet, Fantastic, brings pleasure to my bones (song in there somewhere) do you ride a bike?

                    cant post photo yet, not been member long enough, will try tomorrow, bye for now

                              Heyup and welcome, there is hope for you, we have four adult kids (two of each) and eight grandchildren (six boys and two beautiful girls) hence the receding hairline and wrinkles.
                              I am sure that you will enjoy your time on here.
