Perhaps the flowers redeem it?Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-16906143354921728622015-01-21T19:41:07.750+00:002015-01-21T19:41:07.750+00:00Hello Donna.

Landslips have made it harder to get to the beaches - one has to walk a long way round and the boring bit about getting there is a disincentive.<br /><br />Hello Philip. 'Tamarisk'! It sounds so exotic; something more suited to the South of France than the south coast of Dorset. (Now you'll tell me it doesn't grow in France . . . but with a name like that!)<br /><br />But Cathy - you live in a mega place. I see your gardens - and do you live in the chateau too? That aside - I find the smaller something is the more there is to see about it.Lucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-87501362919828821432015-01-21T19:27:34.079+00:002015-01-21T19:27:34.079+00:00My word, Lucy, your world is more exciting.

I hope to do it more often.

Perhaps it's just chance - I simply haven't been in that direction at the right moment.Lucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-84161059179185180572015-01-21T12:59:36.310+00:002015-01-21T12:59:36.310+00:00After all these months I hope I would recognise a ...After all these months I hope I would recognise a Silver Birch, but I'm not sure about your possible Willow, Lucy. It couldn't be Tamarisk, could it, given the salty location? We used to see a good number in Cornwall ... but, as I say, I'm not expert.
