@MikeFRobinson I’d agree with Small Teasel but not sure about yippee as I’ve spent several years trying to control it in my garden. It will seed everywhere including plant pots and out top D. fullonum. 😬

'If someone said on Christmas Eve, “Come; see the oxen kneel, In the lonely barton by yonder coomb Our childhood used to know,” I should go with him in the gloom, Hoping it might be so.' 🙏

@Prof_hedgehog Thanks! Happy Christmas. Such a shame that the Mill Road Fair was cancelled again. You must be overrun with hedgehogs.

@johnfielding001 Wonderful photo showing how the sea is cutting in south of the defences round the Martello tower, and pine trees in two places on the beach.
