          Hi Glengarry. That's because I don't show the scruffy bits. :) :) :) Thank you very much for the compliment, though.

                Your garden is so delightful at this stage that I'm honestly lost for words and have no way of describing how lovely it is to me @kindredspirit, you've created something truly special there mate, your own unique little horticultural world! :)
