>>Tony,
What lovely pictures you've been showing recently. We always used to enjoy a trip to the Lakes around Spring Bank holiday time - well clear of school hols though!  All the rhodos, azaleas and other flowering shrubs  were always a thrill to the senses. Holehird we found so wonderful most times of the year, what a tribute to the volunteers whose efforts support it.  And they manage to get those wretched mechanopsis Himalayan poppies to grow which always defeated us.
Your pictures are a source of great pleasure to me, thanks a lot.
