A big thank you to all for your input and encouragement. To big_hoovie - Here's the reason the paths are clear of weeds. Grounds keeper Willie keeps the paths clear in this park and he, "widnay allow a wee bit oh grass to grou own his paths". (if you say it as it's written with a grounds keeper Willie accent, it should sound almost Scottish) Och, eye, the noo................as we say in Scotland. ;) Catlin
