I noticed today how that that spell of cold wind has caught one of my Acers. But, we still have lots to be happy about. Steve.

Watering and feeding is working. As wind ravaged as the Buddleia are, the few remaining blooms are still attracting Bumbles and Flutterbys. Steve.

Yes. I remember both Mom and Dad, using that term for moths. Steve.

The Bumbles like the Honeysuckle. Steve.

@pjmburns Just for you Janice. Seaside Sunflowers. Heads above the wall, and still thriving. Not my garden. Steve,

I did say how far behind in the growing season we are, up here. Clem and Honetsuckle in full flow. Begonia are doing well. Lizzies are now looking good. I did loose a couple, and saved this one, but it's come to nought. Hydrangea is great. My BBQ whisky barrel off-cut is...

Such sad news to hear that a forum stalwart has left the fold. His help and knowledge will be missed by all. Steve.

Well, I have asked the lady who knows everything that is going on in the village, :laughing: , and she says that no one knows. We have a phantom knitter in our midst, it would seem. Steve.

Seaside rhubarb. Any wind with North in it will cover it with salt spray. I asked the chap who grows it, if it had a salty tang. He has promised to let me have some to try. :grinning: Steve.

The light had almost gone when he/she/it showed up last night. Steve.

I'll be back there again on Wednesday. Hopefully they will stick to their routine and turn up. If they do, I will be set up and ready for them. Steve.

I was siting in someones garden last night, when two Brocks came waddling up to within 20ft. of me. I managed a quick couple of pictures before they headed for the bird feeding station. They have poor eyesight, but an excellent sense of smell. The wind was in my favour. Steve.

Will do. Steve.

I don't, Kat. Sorry. It is someone in the village, and the theme changes frequently. Christmas, Easter, etc. I just had to pop out and have a look. :D Steve.

A long way from Brum, but we have a GR box in our village. Steve.

Guess which direction the wind was from. :laughing: Steve.

Buddleia, damaged by the recent NW winds. Steve.

It goes with the territory here, SH. We are only about 150 yards from the sea, facing North. I'll get some pics of the Buddleia tomorrow. They are in a state. Steve.

This is what two days of cold wind can do here. It did not put the Starlings off for long though. Steve.
