    IN OUR GARDEN 2024

    Just received my order of five Calla Lily bulbs which I intend putting in pots, maybe the end of March. I can't remember who put a photo on last year of theirs, which inspired me to buy some. Can you tell me what sort of spread they are so I can decide the size of pots I will put them in Thanks...

    Clothes & shoes of yesteryear

    I never understood why guys turned down their wellies Pete. Neither do I understand why, in the deepest of snow, they just wear trainers, that have cost them a bomb, to clear it away. Pride ????

    Comics

    Has anyone seen the comic "Pheonix" ? If so, is there a "Metal Steve" in it? The reason I ask is because a young lad who comes to our Church, has asked my wife to knit him one. He gave her a sheet with a brief drawing on it, mixed up with other characters, which does not indicate any real...

    Christmas preparations past and present

    All this talk of turkeys and chickens reminds me of an amusing story, although at the time I didn't think it was.
