    All were good but that top one really took the biscuit. I’m going to do a post [providing you'll allow me]: best of Cherie and put in my favourite Cherie pics.

    I love the sight of a stand of rhododendrons. Beautiful shrubs… so long as they don’t get out of hand of course!

    Wow, that’s a lot of them!
    But common rhododendrons (magenta-purple) are very invasive in England.
    Brownsea Island, one of the very few places where you still can see the red squirrels, is covered by common rhododendrons.
    Yes, I did see the red squirrels on the island!! :)

      Yes they are very invasive. My Dad used to call them a weed ;-)

      I love red squirrels they are so cute, much nicer than their cousins the greys.
