I have just returned from a week 'botanising' in the far West of
Ireland. The flora is well worth the journey~ it's fantastic and
fascinating. In many parts I felt as if I alone had ever visited~~ and then
came across a mass of Japanese Knotweed!!
Best Wishes Brian.
The people were exceptionally welcoming and even showed me a Guinness
bottle with 'Open other end' on the base!!
