With such a mild winter I'm pretty sure they never went away! I'd have hoped you could have got some of them blown away on the Island, Chris -the ones outside at least!

It's been a very goodseason for plant-eating critters all round I reckon. :'(

Aye Maggi, no sign of them outside but not too many plants left either. ;D
