Hi

That would be worth entering for the countryfile calendar. The theme this year being Beauty and the Beast.

You choose the beast!

Thanks Brendan :201thumbup:

All I can offer are pollinators on Lavender

Thanks Keith that's very kind of you to say.
But I never enter anything like that its a "rights grab" on the images that are sent in.
