Removed the remainder of the third conifer - except for a side shoot from ground level, about an inch thick and four feet high. This will make a...
We get some of the smaller birds - blackbirds, robins, great tits, dunnocks, blue tits and wrens. The latter three only occasionally. However, we...
We seem to have quite a lot of dragonflies, even though we don't have a pond. None of our immediate neighbours have one either, so I've no idea...
My latest moan is because my three-pack of Yorkie bars has risen to £1.85. It was only £1.35 last week, and that's with inflation running about...
Started to remove conifer number three. Down to 3ft. I'll tackle the rest another day.

We used to stay at home on bank holidays - we had no car, lived in a town, and trains were often cancelled. Now my wife drives. But we live in a...
Good morning all. Wife reminded me that the rubbish needed putting out this morning, and THE GARDEN WASTE!! I couldn't go another two weeks...
We Brits moan about the weather so much. Too cold, too wet, too dry, too hot, too much snow, and so on. I was out yesterday, and I hate getting...
The other one that caught my eye was this one. [ATTACH]
I was tempted by hundreds of postcards. But I only came home with 38. Thirty-six were of castles, and two others were "just for fun".Including...
