Morning Alan, nice picture and the same to you, though I don't think there will be much dancing done today
Been gardening for over 65 years and still learning.

Beautiful pic, thank you. I planted a packet of mixed hawthorn seeds in the autumn and notice today that at least 6 have sprouted. That's my contribution to mother nature s few years down the line, hopefully.
