    No sign of flowers even forming on my Honeysuckle, as yet. Too early. Things are moving along, that said, and we are seeing some colour. Birds are going mad on the feeders. Steve.

    Balti Houses in Ladypool Road

    Adil's in Stoney Lane was the same. Glass on top of the tables, with menus underneath. No alcohol served. Fabulous balti house. It was the first place where I had green chilli bhajis. Steve.

    We are not seeing any small birds. I think that Avian Flue has really hammered them, I'm afraid. And now, I am reading that it has been confirmed in a dead seal. Bad news if it has jumped to mammals. Steve.

    Slab cake

    Is my memory correct? I seem to recall that Wrensons also sold slab cake. I was always fascinated by Battenberg cake, but it was way over our family budget. In fact, any bought cake, was over budget. :laughing: Steve.

    She is actually, "chocolate", a woolly bear in her dotage, and a briar magnet. :laughing: She was twelve on 27th. December. Steve.
