I’ll just leave this here
I don’t believe any further commentary is required. North Korea TV censors Alan Titchmarsh’s trousers
Memory Lane, 26th October 2022: Zombie caterpillar
I’ve not noticed this before, but it seems to have been a pretty good year for Large White caterpillars and therefore presumably for their predators. I was confused as to what was going on at first, what the little yellow … Continue reading
No dig diary, 24th March 2024
I already feel so far behind with this year thanks to the weather. But what can you do when the veggie plot makes the Somme look like a Forest School mud kitchen? So despite the fact that I should already … Continue reading

And my son’s GCSE notes, as it happens. Poor weather is forecast for tomorrow so it was a major rush just to get through a first cut of all the grass today. But we managed it. Sadly, whilst I was … Continue reading

The compost bins will now start filling up
Despite the fact that it’s still more than a week to the start of April it’s become necessary to start cutting some of the grass which has grown ridiculously long over the mild Winter. During the same period the compost … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 18th October 2022
Harvesting peppers today. Gorgeous selection of colours. Still a few more to come, perhaps, if the weather is good enough for them to ripen.
Just get a grip
I see that people who are desperate to be offended by something/anything at all are up in arms about the new England football kit because it contains an image of a cross that is not strictly a St. George’s Cross. … Continue reading
