Great Video Mike, pity no sound effects

"Daft as a brush",Scrage, and suck a lemon were regular saying we used

Just to say thanks to all who responded to my request the other day. I reported it, sending copies of the Emails received and had a reply they had received it. I know it would be impossible for them to do it, but wouldn't it be nice to know if someone was found out and dealt with appropriately

Hi everyone, really need help on this one. Yesterday morning had an Email from a friend I have known for about 30 years telling me he had had an op. and couldn't get out. He had tried getting an Amazon gift card for a friend but for some reason his credit card was not working. He asked if I...

Those roses are beautiful

As is usual these days, I had forgotten to do something usually done by habit. I then use an expression I havn't heard or used for many years. I called myself a " Barm pot" [don't know if that's the way to spell it]. It was an expression we used to use often when you did something silly. Wonder...

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 !!!
