As I am feeding fodder for mosquitoes, I douse myself in repellent several times a day and so far so good. Bites are at a minimum. But this early evening, because they cannot get to my limbs, I have...
Saturday. It's overcast, but not raining. Looks like it might though. A bit of a breeze blowing, I've not been out yet. It was a good evening at the hospice, a lady giving a talk on colours for...
Has anyone tried this veg? Saw it in my local Lidl this morning & looks like a cross between cabbage & kale. Full of iron & lots of vitamins according to a google search. Will probably buy some soon...

Could someone have a look at this webcam please and tell me whether the bird on the nest is a Goshawk or a Buzzard....or indeed something else. It says Goshawk but I don't think it is. It has a spotty...
We have bluetits nesting in our box for the first time in many years, they are really busy at the moment - we are not sure if they are feeding - does anyone know where both the parent birds sleep at...
In the last couple of weeks or so, I've had three near misses whilst driving. They were all with Audi high performance cars.
Has anyone else had the same problem?...
A fellow who wanted to get away from it all ran away and joined the French Foreign Legion and was posted to an out of the way fort. On his first day there he asked an old timer what they did for...
