[Chocky]

But it is there. I found it

[rolf]

Nice colours, what tree is that sniper?

[sniper]

absolutely no idea but I can ask her who knows all later

[rolf]

LOL, that's always my last resort, I ask the oracle (me old mum)

[sniper]

Rolf, does your (old mum) come on and read this forum? if so you are either very brave or........ your mum loves you very much

[rolf]

LOL, no, not Brave, she really doesn't use the internet, I'm sure she loves me very much, even though I'm probably very irritating, but also she is in her late seventies, so I guess I'm not being inaccurate in calling her me old mum.

[sniper]

I have just asked (her who knows all) and SHE DIDN'T KNOW I will find out tomorrow.

[ruthietootie]

Good evening rolf, good news - bad news.....as I work in a garden nursery it was easy for me to i.d. the scrub in the Coal Tit picture, It's a Rhus Typhina common name Stag's Horn Sumach, it's the colour combination I like in the photo. The bad news is this means that Ruthie was right:eek as you are (on the board) any chance you can tell Ruthie NOT to read this thread, otherwise I've got to buy her lunch
