Never seen such heavy rain for years. Was going to fill the pool today but saved me the job and water, Nearly two inches in less than an hour. At least it's made the fish come up to the top today

As an aside Janice mentions John's occupation as a Merchant Tail's Cutter - what on earth is that???

Thanks Janice for your help. When you get into your 90s, glad of any help to cope with new way of life. Just reading all the other comments on here and wondering where we would be without the joys of grandchildren

All this confirmed my belief that I have become a grumpy old git. Bring back the old Birmingham of which we were proud. However, each to his own

Look on the RSPB site and type in "Robins from around the world" for a few pics. of different ones
