     Afternoon Miranda and lillyrose  just crossed. Good buy lillyrose. Miranda, there are a lot of very small insects-look like tiny wasps on many of my flowers do you know what they could be?Confused

    Could be hoverflies, Richard. Hoverflies are good.

    I wonder why? It loaded fine for me - give it another go. Anyway, they probably are hoverflies, there are a lot around just now. They're interesting to watch.

    I loaded it ok Miranda and it was an interesting read, I will make sure I plant some suitable flowers for them next year and hopefully they will start visiting my garden, could do with something to help get rid of the aphids that are slowly taking over my runnersSurprise

    Thanks Richard and sue1002 - lillyrose have you tried with firefox?  I thought you'd like to meet Caesar in case I have to send him over for your mice Wink  On the other hand, as you've pinched my rain AGAIN Angry

    Miranda - I got in OK - I think your gremlin is still coming and going Hmm .  I must look at my hoverflies and see whether or not they're wearing sunglasses Big Smile
