Dd - if you do decide to take advantage of my garden, feel free, but you might catch cold. LOL.

P.S. The mind boggles!

I find it leaves you a little 'saddle sore', perhaps that's down to how far we have to travel. OH is always a little vague on the distance of the ride. He doesn't want to put me off but the longer they are, the more I not think I'll enjoy them.

Excuse me, but what have your tandem expoits got to do with my dragonflies doing what they are doing? I'm flummoxed. :-+

P.S. Maybe I shouldn't ask! :-D)

No need to be flummoxed and of course you should ask :-) they are described as 'flying in tandem'. its part of the mating ritual. I'd started this comment by saying I had several over my pond. DD said she wished she was more agile, I offered the loan of a tandem ................

I'll go away and write some lines Miss :o))
