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...

Totally agree with you Kat. I love to see a well kept lawn but nothing worse than long grass and weeds together. I could never do anything with our front lawn after we moved in, so dug it up and now have flower beds with a few Acers and bushes. Also, in the back garden had a guy in to dig it...

Some years ago a group of us went to one of the holiday camps, [not sure which one]. First thing I did was to put the kettle on and found it full of ants. then found they were even in the bed. Gives me the shivers thinking of it. No more holiday camps for us!!! We have found several nests of...

Thanks Steve, I thought it was one of your hidden talents, but perhaps shy in letting on.

I had one bought me a few years ago that I could connect to the computer, but it was only cheap and the results were not good. If you are thinking of buying the 'old fashioned' type may I suggest you look on the auctioneers sites. I regularly look at Richard Wintertons site, based in Lichfield...
