Bring back the stocks and I would be first in the queue with my box of tomatoes !!!

Love your garden Steve, making me jealous !!!

I think you was spot on with the pic of the starling. Very impressed.

Hi Alison, Don't in anyway try to put the pipe back into the wall!! If someone else moves into the house after you and doesn't know the pipe is there they may very well come to drill the wall to fix something on it and drill into the pipe with dire consequences. As has been said it should be...

My thoughts and prayers are with Carolina and Eileen at this sad and difficult time. We have lost so many of our friends and family over the past few months bringing the lesson home that we have to be thankful for every day we are given

Lovely as usual Steve. I thought it was your house at first.

Had a problem with laptop last week. Could get videos up, picture came on but no sound. Tried all sots but no luck and took it to local shop. He worked on it for 1/2 hour whilst I was there but couldn't find the problem, so left it with him. When I picked it up he said it was a problem with the...

Thanks Pete for those lovely photos. My maternal Gran, Sarah Bridgen, was married there [ Date unknown] and I was just imaging her walking down the aisle in her wedding dress. Also thanks to all the others for your interesting contributions. It was sad to see the memorial for those who died in...

Totally agree with you Kat. I love to see a well kept lawn but nothing worse than long grass and weeds together. I could never do anything with our front lawn after we moved in, so dug it up and now have flower beds with a few Acers and bushes. Also, in the back garden had a guy in to dig it...

Some years ago a group of us went to one of the holiday camps, [not sure which one]. First thing I did was to put the kettle on and found it full of ants. then found they were even in the bed. Gives me the shivers thinking of it. No more holiday camps for us!!! We have found several nests of...

Thanks Steve, I thought it was one of your hidden talents, but perhaps shy in letting on.

I had one bought me a few years ago that I could connect to the computer, but it was only cheap and the results were not good. If you are thinking of buying the 'old fashioned' type may I suggest you look on the auctioneers sites. I regularly look at Richard Wintertons site, based in Lichfield...

Seeing mwOnjm's photo of a bee in Our Garden section this morning brings back memories for me. My uncle was a member of the Birmingham University Microscopical Society and I used to spend hours with him in his little room full of microscopes looking at all manner of things. When I was able to...

Great photos again Steve. What camera and lens do you use?

Be interesting Steve if you could catch a pic. of them all flying off together. We had a lovely surprise when we got up this morning to see a bird, about the size of an orange, and totally cream on it's body, and a brownish patch on it's head. After much searching found it must be a female Black...

Yes, another mystery solved. I can now see it is yellow not white. Amazing what we can find out. It's like this morning. We had our annual boiler check up yesterday and because I wanted to change something opened the flap at the front and noticed some plastic clips and realised they were there...

Whilst it looks exactly right for same Church I wonder what the white block at the top left is because it's not there in the original photo

According to Thompson - Morgan site they are half hardy Rhizomes. Do you do anything with them Lyn over the winter? It also says it is an irritant to the skin, have you had any problems?

Thanks everyone for comments about use of Norton. I will have a look at others options before making decision. What great folk we have on this site

They are beautiful Lyn. Hope you find the name and then I willlook out for some next year
