Cheers Eric, that's our hound "Lilo" no loyalty except to whoever is the nearest with food. Have to disappoint you about the "industrial strength bong" it's just a bog standard Shisha, one of the lads uses to imbibe his herbage.

Nah, you're just saying that ... that dog is, no doubt, your best friend ... I think it was Harry S. Truman who said, "If you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog." Or, as I believe, "If you want a true friend in this world, unconditional love 'till death do you part, get a dog." (Cats too, sort of ... but cat's were once worshiped as gods, and they have never forgotten this ... not original with me; but I like it, and understand exactly what it means.)

I think I'll fire up Yoda and watch the massive storm that's heading this way.

Re: Today in pictures

Back in July, I posted some pics taken at Gairloch Gardens in Oakville. There was a plant there with blackish coloured leaves. I didn't know what they were then, and I still don't know. Something tropical, I'm guessing.

I had to see if they had grown over the summer to monstrous proportions - for some reason I expected them to grow to 6 feet tall, with exotic flowers! Summer is almost over, and with the risk of frost encroaching, I thought I'd better hurry up to see these 'giants'. I persuaded Aunty Sheila to come with me yesterday, and this is what I found: no giant plants, no monstrous flowers, just some tired looking purplish plants that nonetheless fit in very nicely with the colourful beds. Glad to see them though, and Aunty enjoyed her visit Oh, yes, those are bananas - teensie tiny little ones that won't last long once the frost comes.

Wow - not something I normally go mad over but these photos are great - amazing blue sky creates a perfect backdrop!

Lovely colourful set of photos - it looks like autumn is further ahead "up North" - still a lot of boring green here yet...

Really nice borders there - I love formal gardens. Those leaves have a good strong colour and shape and have been used well.
Banana flowers are very strange - there are loads near to where my mum lives on Tenerife in a commercial banana plantaton. It has all been dug over and replanted recently she has told me so when I'm next over there I'm curious to see what the young plants look like. I think they keep them for about a 10 year life-span and they only produce one huge bunch of bananas a year!

Re: Today in pictures

Last set of bugs - I went back yesterday to the same area where I saw all the butterflies. They are lovely but the caterpillars do a lot of damage to plants as you can see in the last 2 shots.

Thanks, really glad we didn`t go Saturday, weather and visibility were shocking (so we were told) Vulcan should have been there Saturday but that was changed to Sunday.

The Lancasters went straight from Southport for a fly by over Derwent Water, what a backdrop that will have been.
