    Good morning Steve and Verdun image

    Reading the local news, this was interesting http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/sweet_toothed_squirrels_spark_funeral_flowers_warning_at_norwich_crematorium_1_4185650

    apparently it's the sugar content of the flowers that they're after, and a repellent spray is available.

    Dove I know it isn't funny for the bereaved but the squirrels in the link made me laugh image

    Good morningimage.  It's a lovely start to the day and the forecast is good so you should be able to eat your lunch today before you get home Fairyimage.  Look forward to some of your lovely pics later.

    We have a cemetery just down the lane so I'll keep an eye out for those pesky squirrels to see if they're doing the same here Dove.  I've just had a browse for edible flowers and some have surprised meimage.

    Weeding is the order of the day, plus some potting on.  Have a good day whatever you're doingimage.

    Hi KEF, yes the squirrels made me smile too but I hope it doesn't lead to bunches of plastic flowers being left insteadimage.

    If anyone's out for an ice-cream today please can I put my order in nowimage.  

  • Weather is overcast so I am safe outside, off to Wisley we go. If you see me, say hi! I am easy to recognise, I will be with the other half who is a chinese chap!

  • Oh, and I'm in a burgundy shirt and a bad hat!

    We are going early tho, before the sun doth arise and bake me!

    We'll be later Steve - but I'll keep an eye outimage

    loved the squirrel storyimage.  If a spray works its easily solved though.  GW last night reminded me that a return trip to Heligan is long overdue - is it on your list for your jollies Dove ?

    time for a browse and a cuppa.

    Steve if you're in any doubt about being recognised carry your book tooimageimage

    Have a great day chickyimage.  I visited Heligan probably about 12 years ago and it was great then but looked amazing on GW last night.
