Last evening we watched the first of four programs, on channel 5, following events on HMS Duncan during a deployment into the Black Sea earlier this year on a NATO exercise. HMS Duncan is one of six...

@Grandad - that sounds interesting but I'm not getting it. All I'm getting on Netflix is Christmas theme'd shows. :( Nothing too much of interest.
Not posted for a while, I hope you are all fit and well. So how has 2018 been, work, work and more work, grew a beard ( still got it ) :roll: , granddaughter one is now 7 :o and number two will be 2...

Fantastic photos BK :) I've always wanted to go to Iceland, maybe some day ;)
Now that all the ghosties and goblins have had their day end October and since Guy Fawkes was essentially celebrated here last night with fireworks happening for half and hour all our stores are...

When I fly everything is x-rayed (I'd assume) but when I drive back and forth between here and the States everything is just packed into the trunk. Usually I'm waved through but occasionally I seem...
Today is very cold but sunny with a cloudless blue sky so a trip on the scooter seemed appropriate. I thought I would go to the local park to see if the trees were showing any colour and also go to...

I can see it as a boat and a tear drop, really I think it could be anything your imagination sees :)
Since I've always been easily bored and since retirement brings lots of 'time' with it I've been in search of things to do. I can only quilt so much and knitting & crochet hasn't been high on my list...

The talent of all you ladies never ceases to amaze me ;)
Over the last couple of years, Aldi have been selling cheap fat quarters, and this has caused a lot of grief with some of the ladies on my quilting group. Some turn their noses up and other moan...

I think your work on these quilts are beautiful and you should be so proud :)
I agree and I know nothing about it :up
The past couple of months has been a learning curve for me. These three photos are a Dresden Fan top which was almost an unfinished object - UFO - but I decided to put the blocks together and try out...
I don't like or dislike Hallowe'en and I do buy candies to give out and it is only a 2 hour or so event once a year for ME however ........ my immediate neighbour is something of a Hallowe'en expert....

My neighbour LOVES Hallowe'en and goes to this type of extreme most years. Couple years ago she had a complete cowboy corral with bales of hay, horse saddles and swinging saloon doors. Course my...

It's always magical to see a wonderful tree standing in isolation.
I often used to wonder why just one tree avoids the perils of nature and man to be left alone and then there was an accident on a...
My topics tend to be limited to my garden wildlife, the plants on our small patio, my local trips on the scooter, our increasingly infrequent holidays and our fairly frequent visits to local...

I know we tend not to talk politics here but Brexit, is that political? I think not.
I listened to Theresa May, reporting back following the meeting of all EU leaders in Salzburg, and as one who...
Like most people (I believe) I use my desktop to dump things for quick reference and/or filing away properly later on. My desktop was SO cluttered this afternoon that I had a spring clean and either...

Yes I do remember now :up that was a good price ;)
Seems the fates are not happy with us and if it isn't one thing it Is another. Right now about 11 minutes ago a State of Emergency has been declared due to a huge fire raging out of control down by...

There is lots of discussion here re: Mars Water Bombers. They're sitting here and the Province has said they can't be used BUT they're sitting here as surrounded by fire but the Province won't give...

They are everywhere. Nowadays as I walk around I see lots of signs in the windows of businesses looking for help. Seems to me there are lots of jobs out there but very few people willing to take...
@Horus and others ;)
I mentioned that yesterday I sorted, or rather didn't sort, a bag of old leads and bits and pieces. I came across this that I think is quite interesting.
It is a 256MB USB...

I agree with you, Horus, but try telling DH that! :(
Grandad asked about our last little break in the caravan, so here is a bit of background and a few pictures. I had planned a two site visit, one near Barmouth and the other to Llanberis, both in...

Your fairly getting around with your caravan :) That storm during the night sounded

Very interesting & informative............love all the landscapes & your panoramas :)
My mother in law died 21 years ago and some years before she died she planted a very small cutting on our bank. That was about 25 years ago and that little plant has grown to this pretty yellow...

I've just lost a reply twice!
I think that yours is a Hypericum, one of the less robust varieties and probably looses its leaves in the winter.
The bigger varieties tend to have glossy leaves and...
