RideWithStyles Posted July 1, 2024 Posted July 1, 2024 (edited) wifey likes catus, a lot. This one (spikes and hooks) in particular this year has really flowered like mad, (no colour filters just a phone camera) also it has terrible habit of leaning right over to the window so every few weeks I keep having to turn the pot. Then it has the chance to catch the curtain and either snags or pluck it self bold then i get a bollocking for harming/killing the plant . bees seem to like the look of it as they bang on the window but most of the time it’s closed Edited July 1, 2024 by RideWithStyles 5 Quote
Steve_M Posted July 1, 2024 Posted July 1, 2024 We had a boat trip out to the Farne Islands today. Absolutely fascinating. Puffins, guillemots, shags, gannets, arctic terns galore. Oh, and seals. Lots of seals. Then there was the story of Grace Darling… 5 Quote

When I was diving, I missed our club trip to dive there. Those "waterfalls" of bird poo, did they smell? 2 Quote

Sadly all the ones who lived up there are no longer living. The rest were from Coquetdale and Humshaugh. 1 Quote

Sadly all the ones who lived up there are no longer living. The rest were from Coquetdale and Humshaugh. I’d never visited Northumberland before we moved up to Cumbria 5 years ago. We’d mostly by-passed it on route to Scotland when the offspring were at Uni or when heading on holiday. What a mistake. It’s a fabulous part of the country. I’m intending to take a couple of days out and cover the Northumberland 250, to take in a few of places we have yet to visit. 1 Quote

Those of you who open their gardens to the public are amazing. My niece is a professional gardener working full time alongside a head gardener and other, part time, staff at a large-ish private garden. They’ve been working all year to ready the garden for the NGS open day. I hear a little about the standard expected, so any private, amateur garden opening is a great achievement. 2 Quote
