Happy St David's Day

Well my daffodils have decided it's too cold to bloom for St David's Day! They are always late. I've had words but even the Tete-a-Tete are hiding. Once again my instagram account has been cloned. Fortunately my Eagle eyed friends let me know and have done all the reports and blocked. It is surprisingly easy to clone an account and this one wasn't a particularly good effort. The avatar photo was screenshot and was off centre. Had no posts and no bio. Why do they do it? To scam money from unsuspecting people. This is a great article on how to clone and why people do it, and how to protect yourself.

As added protection, I've changed my password ..again, and this time I've set the account to private. Not ideal, but for a while anyway.
