It was so that the soldiers looked pretty on parade. A lot of uniforms were uncomfortable and downright dangerous.
Apparently Scots soldiers were made to wear kilts in WW1 even though they got wet, froze and actually cut their legs Leadership eh?
A former colleague came from an army family from Scotland. All male members of the family going back generations went into the same regiment. It's one of the regiments that wore trews. Basically not all Scottish regiments have kilts as part of their uniform. Some have tartan trees.
Needless to say that colleague joined the RAF and flew transports. His grandad disowned him and his dad didn't speak for a few years? He was the family disgrace! At least his brothers joined the regiment to save family pride.
Artichoke a few feet from next door's bird feeders. . It isn't an ant farm - more like large scale intensive farming. The Bernard Matthews of the ant world. So much for birds eating them! Other predators haven't a chance as they are rigorously policed. Good job I don't want to eat the artickokes.😞
Why do weeds grow stronger than chosen plants? Why do chosen plants in the wrong place grow better than when in the right place despite both being very similar places? Why do chosen plants grow better in the footpaths than in the borders? Why do plants grow slowly when you are around then vigorously when you go away for the weekend so when you come back you have a lot more work to catch up on then when you left?
Put simply, why don't plants behave themselves?!!!
4 or 2 finger KitKat? I'm too busy for 4. I've got a garden to sort out. Actually, I'm currently more stressed out about a trampoline with self tapping screws and holes that don't match well. Not sure whether to get smaller screws or drill the holes. It's all go after getting back. And I still haven't bought a strimmer. I've had it with a few borders. I'm taking the nuclear option!!!
I love how they tried to get the same outfit for the substitute actor to eat the single finger abomination but couldn't match that amazing tank top. Close enough.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
That plant really stinks now. At Ieast after last year I know it'll be finished in a week or so. I'm glad it's about 100 yards away. Unfortunately it's to the west so the smell carries on the prevailing winds.
