Re: Today in pictures

Dave you have been going to some of my favourite places again -I love the photos of Gatty Park -spent many a happy hour there as a girl.

Jen -lovely sunny photos again -great colours. Hope you're soon feeling better

DiG - you really should be careful who you associate with Found out recently through a friend why Wigan-folk are known as Pie-eaters - apparently they broke a county-wide mining strike in the 1800's and ever after had to eat humble pie. I'd always thought it was just because you got good pies in Wigan.

I don't know about viburnum berries but I think the seeds pods are poisonous. Aged 11 I spent a long afternoon in Accy Vic. waiting to get my ankle looked at -I'd broken it by falling off my space-hopper One of the longest days of my life as a group of kids were brought in and were given priority, they had to have their stomachs pumped because they'd eaten viburnum seeds thinking they were some kind of beans.
