Just popped out and took these pictures, and overall, the garden is still looking OK. Although it looks like there is plenty of flowering to come, the weather will change suddenly, and low temperatures will kill it all off. Steve.

A twelve year old Sony Cyber Shot bridge. :laughing: It is set to "auto" most of the time. Any decent pictures are down to the camera, not my ability. :grinning: Steve.

A Late bumble. And, the inevitable sparrows. Steve.

That cold wind has struck again, I was a wee bit slow on the button for this one. Steve.

This years young, just coming into their adult plumage. They look superb when the sunlight hits them. Steve.

Thankfully, no. We were away for four days, and I was expecting our garden to be kaput when we returned, but the rain gods were on my side. Still looking OK. The Starlings soon found the food. I did bring a new Buddlia home. The flowers have an intense aroma of honey. Steve.

I have three Bocock (seahorse brand) lamps. They have been converted to use an electric lamp, at some time. Steve.

A few pictures from Tarzan's garden. In reality, the walled garden of the old Head Gardeners house at Greystoke Castle. The castle is no longer lived in. The walled garden is still looking good. Full of shrubs, flowers, fruit trees, butterflies, etc. Steve.

I shall raise a glass to him on the 13th. October. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. Steve.

I had a GGG,GF & GGG,GM buried in St. Phillips 1848 and 1847. I assume that the graves were moved at some time. Steve.

The records that I was applying for, were from 1937. I know that the person concerned was accidentally shot and killed. The partial record that I have been able to access on line, states cause of death as "Gunshot wound". Not KIA, or blood poisoning, etc. as all others listed. Why would I...

Lyn, It is not always straightforward. I have been trying to access a set of Army records for over two years, to no avail. This was the last reply: "We are unable to open this record because all of the information is exempt under Section 41 of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000. This...

Nice to confirm that it is not wishful thinking on my part. https://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/why-scotland-has-seen-a-big-butterfly-resurgence-this-year-4336905 Steve.

That's good to know. We have had quite a lot (for us) here, this season, but Hover Fly numbers are way down. Steve.

Wise man, Van Gogh. Kept his ear to the ground. Steve.

Likewise, Kat. I had 3/4 acre at my last house. I swore that I would never have grass again, unless I had something that would eat it. :grinning: Steve.

You are not the first to suggest that I'm a bit of a knit. :grinning: Steve.

We had a few late Bumbles in the garden a couple of days ago. No shortage of Starlings, of course. We may have seen the last of the bees for now. It has turned cold up here. Feeling 2 deg. just now. Steve.

@Strawberry Hunter It's harvest time, don't you know. The mystery knitter strikes again. Steve.

Think of it as liquid sunshine, Janice, and have a super-dooper day. :sun::sun::sun::sun: Steve.
