There are a couple with a dozen, but I have books with hundreds might be more worthvile for some pennies in the second hand/charity bookshelves. :wink:

Thanks for all the suggestions, next time I'm on my plot will try to get some flashing done. Not sure what my plot neighbours will make of it.

don't get hung up about weeds though. All lotties have them.  You can go mad trying to kill them all but guess what, they return. So, hang loose  :D

(it must have been all the talk of balls which made me say that)  :oops:
