Hi. I'm not actually sure. Not something I've paid much attention to. The ones in the photo are quite young so no problems there yet. I'll keep an eye out and see if I can see any mature ones and see what they are doing.

Love a nightime shower as it’s just delicious getting into bed with a totally clean body, especially in summer if you’ve got hot & sweaty in the day. But I also like to start the day completely fresh. So in summer I often have one each. Morning and evening. And I wash my hair every second evening.

Walking distance for me
