Seeing mwOnjm's photo of a bee in Our Garden section this morning brings back memories for me. My uncle was a member of the Birmingham University Microscopical Society and I used to spend hours with him in his little room full of microscopes looking at all manner of things. When I was able to...

Great photos again Steve. What camera and lens do you use?

Be interesting Steve if you could catch a pic. of them all flying off together. We had a lovely surprise when we got up this morning to see a bird, about the size of an orange, and totally cream on it's body, and a brownish patch on it's head. After much searching found it must be a female Black...

Yes, another mystery solved. I can now see it is yellow not white. Amazing what we can find out. It's like this morning. We had our annual boiler check up yesterday and because I wanted to change something opened the flap at the front and noticed some plastic clips and realised they were there...

Whilst it looks exactly right for same Church I wonder what the white block at the top left is because it's not there in the original photo

According to Thompson - Morgan site they are half hardy Rhizomes. Do you do anything with them Lyn over the winter? It also says it is an irritant to the skin, have you had any problems?

Thanks everyone for comments about use of Norton. I will have a look at others options before making decision. What great folk we have on this site

They are beautiful Lyn. Hope you find the name and then I willlook out for some next year

Does anyone have any experience of Norton 360 Premium? Have used Eset for many years but contract finished Saturday. I have the opportunity of having Norton for £19.99 for up to 10 devices, [The offer IS genuine]. Would be pleased of any comments. Thanks in advance

Few minutes ago wife moved a plastic bag with a jigsaw in it ready to take to charity shop and found a giant size spider in it. So, out it goes to join it's mates in the garden. Noticed a spiders web on one of the bushes yesterday, must have been about 12 X 9 inch. Was hoping for the rain to see...

We also called them bobhowlers. Wonder where that term came from? Havn't seen any for years

As you say Richard, 'that smell', also the sound of all that power s the engine gained momentum. How glad I am of the old memories of all these simple things.

That looks lovely Kat. My wife is excellent at knitting and needlework of all types, but absolutely useless at crocheting. Strange isn't it.

I don't think we have seen any thrushes fo about four years until Saturday when there four young ones came. Lovely to see them.

Love your garden Steve, always great pics of what's in it. Kat, providing weather good to you I'm sure you will enjoy it. as I've said elsewhere been going to Scotland every three or four years since 1956 and enjoyed it every time. And in all those visits only ever had the holiday spoilt by the...

Once again great pics Steve. Never heard of a Starling being ringed before. Pity e cat see the letters on the rings.

I was eight when the war started, but I can't remember any of those leaflets. Having said that, in those day there were certain things never spoke about in the front of their children, such as death, so perhaps we were shielded from such scary material. I do remember though of my parents talking...

That video is brilliant, especially to me as we used to go to the Star every Saturday as kids. It brought back so many memories of shops like Bon Marche and Wheelers Timber yard

I found those leaflets [more like books] most interesting Chris, thanks for them.

In entry 4 it refers to a map showing where bombs dropped in Goosemoor lane area Does anyone know where this map came from and if there are similar ones for other areas. I'm particularly interested in Slade Road near Abbey/George Road area Thanks in advance
