Great info, how many times have I been down Dog Kennel Lane!!!!!! I've been interested in post boxes for some time now. I've just started to take pics of them. This one is the last issue of Queen Elizabeth II, it's not in Birmingham, it's in Bromsgrove. Interesting as the last issues had...

Does anyone know where the oldest post box in Birmingham is?

I need to get to the blacksmiths and enquire ASAP. Pic as of Saturday 12th August 2023.

Hight Street, Deritend, as of Saturday 12 August 2023.

Went to Birmingham today. Picture of The Old Crown, Saturday 12 August 2023.

Oh no. More devastation, that's a shame.

It's so annoying when the plants get destroyed by the weather. Always seems a bit unfair to me.

Very nice weather here!!!!!! Watering and tidying done. The long handled tweezers have been out, helping me to remove some moss type weed.

Agapanthus looks great in the vase. I do the same as I have some tall, delicate hydrangea that tend to bend and break with the weight of the rain. Roses too, or if there's a storm I'd rather cut them and put into a vase.

Well, it's actually warm and sunny here!!!!!!!!!

Love the pigeons. Be interested to know what is growing in the mahonia pot! Usually I look at the weather about this time, I just don't want to look, fearing it will rain!!!!!!

Thanks for the midges info. Drizzle here, so I'm doing indoor jobs today. Oh well, I suppose a wet Summer isn't the worst thing in the world.

Midges, uh oh. Things like that bite me!!!!

Yes, that's what I thought, looks a lot like that vibrant colour of the lobelia.

How interesting, imagine finding these, and only 8 inches under the ground too!!!! Immaculate hoard of gold coins worth £30,000 dating back to Henry VIII unearthed on the grounds of … https://mol.im/a/12380801 via https://dailym.ai/android

Thanks J082 for the info. I'm looking forward to it. I'm not too concerned about the weather, I'd rather go when it's cooler, easier to get about. Talking of weather, it hasn't rained for a few hours!!!!! Gardening, well I've done some watering, I think that's it for today.

Beautiful places and pics. Amazing scenery. I'm off to Edinburgh end of Sept. Never been to Scotland before. Re-potted a couple of baskets with ivy and alpines, they will last the Winter out, something green. Also bought ericaceous soil for a bush magnolia that has done nothing in the two...

No gardening here today, although we have had a clear our and filled a mini skip. So that was good exercise. Errr, well, yes raining again has stopped any gardening, it's beginning to seem really odd seeing the bedding plants in the garden, because it doesn't feel like Summer.

I've broken off a stem of buddleia that was growing in a hedgerow, put it in water and it grew roots. I've planted it up, see how it gets on.

Lovely pics. I'm afraid I'm still reporting on these April showers that we are getting here. Never known anything like it.
