...not quite true, there are some quite pleasant groups of small trees cowering in the glens, and they are planting more, including using monster poly tunnels to get them started!.

Must go back one day, or a week.... June would be a good time - one doesn't need to burn the midnight oil(lamp) as it never really gets dark. Not quite so good in December when it barely gets light.
