Played around that bridge many many times. Brings back many memories

Love your bird photos Steve. Like you, only flowers now are the Fuchsias which are in pots, so will bring them into the conservatory to over winter. there are no flowers on our Mahonia but we have a plant with foliage like Mahonia but it sends out very long spikey flowers. Can't remember it's...

For some unknown reason hadn't seen this thread before. Brought back many memories especially of the shops in Handsworth

I too remember well Hiron's on Stockland Green, we had many plants from there. Can't remember the one on Wellington Road though although used to cyvle down there very often. Another bit of history bites the dust !!!

As I knew I would not be seeing and enjoying pics in gardening section today, sat and enjoyed my dripping on toast for breakfast

Havn't seen much bird activity for a few weeks until this last week. One fat pigeon has been enjoying the berries on the Cotoniasta. Two squirrels feasting on everything they can, and for the last two days had a young fox in the garden. Also the Robin graced us with his presence

Been thinking of you a lot Steve and hoping you and your lovely garden is kept safe during the storm that's forecast

Brought back memories there Morturn. They were all the same except for size and for young children. We used to carry them everywhere, an offence not to. While at school we were often having practice sessions how to put them on and off. Looked on the map and found Witham is in Essex, I wonder...

Sounds lovely Richard

I was just thinking as I looked at all the photos this morning how i shall miss them all each day now winter upon us. What is the antidote for withdrawal symptoms ??? I shall just have to be content with all the other contributions you wonderful people send in

I would love one if it came out in print. Would certainly cause a few laughs at our lunch club

Don't remind me Kat. We have a large Acer in the front garden as well as two smaller ones. the larger one is just turning red which means in about a month's time the leaves will be dropping and so will be filling up the large garden bin for the council to take away.

Totally agree with you Richard, The Sound of Music was a great film. We still remember taking Mom and dad to see it at the Gaumont in 1966. We still watch it every time it's on. we too might be considered "old fashioned" but who cares!!!

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.

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...
