    Heucheras are wonderful for bees. The flowers might look insignificant, but they're a 3 course meal for bees ,and you can cut them back and they produce more - for months on end. 
    Vital for colour during the long winter season here too. Need no care either, and great groundcover which prevents the r*ddy cats round here finding bare ground to sh*t on. Perfect  :)
    I'm not very curmudgeonly at all today. It'll be different tomorrow I expect, looking at our forecast  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    My mother read voraciously all her life couldn’t spell for toffee, my father almost never picked up a book but could spell really well, I think it’s to do with how your brain sees words. Unless she was the exception that proves the rule?

    Driving through town earlier and saw the most wonderful example of parenting. Mum pushing a baby in  a buggy , Dad and toddler, about 3 I'd say, all walking half way across the road despite the traffic AND the Pelican Crossing about 20metres away. Was Dad holding the toddler's hand? No, He was too busy rolling a fag .

    At least he wasn't on his mobile phone!!

    Presumably he smokes in the presence of his children so is damaging their future health.  Much worse then to be rolling a fag than texting or twiddling or whatever on his phone.

    I was more concerned about the 3 year old standing in the middle of traffic with nobody seeming to consider her safety
