I have solved my problem, with help from my grandson, and I am once again able to have access to the Forum. I have just finished reading  all the unread postings. Once more thank you Hilary for the amount of work you do.  I love reading about places to visit and 
 I am happy  when I recognize any of them such as  The Roman Villa near Loutraki which we saw a few years ago on a rather wet autumn day.  I loved the photos of the plants in Spain. Some seem familiar but the names escaped me.  I have taken photos of varies plants and flowers but I still need to reduced before I post them. So keep posting ....
