No I doubt it. That would be great

I noted some blackbirds have white feathers when in moult, obviously not at this time of year, but also at other times . He could be an early baby. Or a late baby? We get late baby squirrels. Or maybe he has been pooped upon? Our robins are fighting off other birds at the feeders now. I noted...

We did the RSPB bid count hardly any birds. Garden is flooded at the front. Fat feeders keep going rotten. We do get a wren wonder if she has a nest already, there was a spate of 2 coal tits coming, definitely pairs of birds. My rudimentary feeder is working, I clean it every day the upturned...

I know they can fly very fast. I watched one pitted against a Peregrine I think it was in a race, flying to a lure in one of the Springwatches, with Chris Packham, and Iolo Williams. Whilst the barn owl didn't win it was a close second. I know barn owls are light in weight. I believe only owls...

I don't remember those but there use to be a brick structure at the top of our street, facing down the middle of the road, built on to a factory wall on the the street which ours ended up in, if you know what I mean. A T junction, with 2 holes for rifles in it from WW2, I forget the name of...

We have daffodil 11 buds where they have been coming up blind for years. They are ancient. One is a foot high but the rest a few inches. Just handful of snowdrops.

I liked the iron balustrades? on bus stops. A bit like seas side promenade railings. The bus stops signs used to be round. There used to be a gentlemen's urinal in Coventry painted green. It was known as the Green Man did Brum have them. It was in the middle of a big junction without an island...

I don't know about you but we still have elephants ears in the snow, flowering hyssop trailing in the pot, and a geranium blooming in a pot outside the front door. I posted last year the bird box fell down. While trying to put it back up, the tree moved, a lot! We had to have it felled or it...

Hello Matt I consulted my Irish friends of whom one is an adoptee. They told me you can ask at the libraries there. They went to their library in Carlow. I don't know if all libraries offer the same services there. Ours here did not when I was first searching 22 years ago. My friend here tells...

I forgot about FLIT

I think it would be beneficial if they had a testimonial wall to explain what it was really like. Where my grandparents lived they have been demolished but there is documentation under glass in the churchyard and an artist's impression of the cottages

On of my Nan's stories was when they ran out of toilet paper in hard times and in good style her mum cut up the inside bags of packet cereals as she thought they may come in useful and her dad said that's first time he had wiped his xxxxx on Sugar Puffs. They must have been going along time. He...

We had them at school a long a wall they called the chamber of death or wall of death . In the juniors. The boys the tough kids would surround it and the contenders would try and get through whilst being punched and kicked.If you got through without falling off you were a hero, Needless to...

My mum's friend was brought up in a court, they held a stigma she said but it made the people from there very proud of where they came from. They have kept some of the courts names or maybe invented some? as the lady said they didn't have court names or numbers even but everybody knew everybody...

Where my cousin was brought, by his great granny, had a small front garden like in the picture but no back to it no running water or inside toilet in the seventies. It was right next to a pig farm. We have been to see it. They have been preserved and modernised and are now very desirable. In...
