    IN OUR GARDEN 2023

    Joyce and I planted about 130 tulips in the front bed on Wednesday so that’s the lot for this year. I put 45 daisies along the front of the bed last week.

    This is my best shot but smoothing out the blemishes has lost some of the definition.

    Hi Smudger. Can't do much with this at the moment as the file size is too small. Could you scan the photo at a higher resolution?

    New Phone - Any Suggestions

    Yes! If you lifted the receiver and the other party was not using their phone you had to push the button to get the dialling tone.

    New Phone - Any Suggestions

    I have a Lebara SIM and for £5 per month I get 1000 minutes phone calls, 1000 texts, 100 international calls (45 countries) and 5GB 4G/5G data. No contract. I think Smarty do a similar SIM only deal. I only have experience of Apple iPhones the advantage over non-Apple ones being Facetime video...

    I use an application called Irfanview which will open these pics and save them as jpgs. A very useful and fast app.

    FROST Robert francis Albert Birmingham-Solihull

    That's quite close to our previous detective work locating the grave of John Ready back in February (Lawn 4). I wonder if John's wife's death has now been added to the gravestone.

    FROST Robert francis Albert Birmingham-Solihull

    I have looked at the registers - in 1980 both Robert and Gudrun were listed at 69 Faulkner Road but neither was there in 1981. We know Robert died in September 1980 but I couldn’t find any information on what happened to Gudrun.

    Hi Paul. Not sure if you were after a tidy-up or just info about the shop. Whichever, I've removed some of the blotches and sent the chap's overalls to the laundry.

    tidy up please

    Can't see much wrong with this one! However I've sharpened it up slightly and lightened the top row a bit.

    Kings Norton; where is this?

    Kings Norton Church is on high ground and there certainly isn't a stream nearby. Artist with a good imagination I think!

    Unfortunately the resolution of your image is too low to work on effectively. Could you scan it at a higher res?

    Austin Village, Turves Green

    I would be surprised if this hasn’t been mentioned before but I’ve done a search and couldn’t find anything. However if I’ve repeated previous posts I apologise! I’ve just read a book (see below) which included detail of an area of Turves Green originally known as Longbridge Estate, later...

    Posting Photos

    When I attach a photo to a post as a thumbnail I just see the photo whereas everyone else's pic has the file name, size and number of views underneath it. I've tried 'Attach Files' and 'Insert Image' but both give the same result. It probably doesn't matter but I would like to know why!!!
