  1. We have a Men AND Women in Sheds in Loughborough. They all work great together and have a fantastic garden at the back of the unit.
  2. Bloomin heck you are always there at the right time to catch these birds on film, great photos plantfit.
  3. We’ve not had a problem with egg supply, usually the blue shelled eggs have very yellow yolks (as all eggs were back in the day). I have converted to Burford Brown eggs which also have very yellow yolks. We used to get eggs from our neighbour on the allotment but sadly his chickens were savaged by a fox a couple of weeks ago.
  4. This is a great photo, it looks so happy. You are very lucky to have seen and captured it.
  5. Are they any relation to the Wheeldon family in Castle Donington?
  6. We go up to the Lake District twice a year and always stop at the M&S outlet at Talke off the A500 so my T shirts are always from there or Primark in town here. You can also use offers on your Sparks card at the outlet although unless you’re passing or on a day out round there it’s a bloomin long way to go.
  7. Also Cherry B or snowballs. I was quite ill with too much cherry b one night and remember asking the guy in the MGBGT (who I was trying to impress) to stop the car on the bridge so I could be sick over the side. Not exactly the result I was hoping for!
  8. Goodness Barley Wine, don’t think any ever passed my throat but my sister in law loved it, usually in the Flying Horse where she met my brother. The rest is all history as they say.
  9. I was at WB County Grammar, just spent the 6th form there when it went comp. What a cracking school, loved it.
  10. Outdoor ones are bad enough with my eldest cat! A rocket has just hit my upstairs window, fortunately no damage as the stick was 40 inches long. How is that safe in a residential area?
  11. I can remember indoor firework that you used to set off in a box of sand
  12. I can remember going to the AA HQ for maps with my dad. We still have one of those AA badges that you used to have on the front of your car.
  13. Beekay you’re always kind and help people out and as I say that’s all that matters. You’re entitled to have a rant, sorry if I instigated that. Mrs B
  14. Beekay you need to go on “Long lost family” doesn’t matter where you came from, it’s what you are now that matters.
  15. Beekay, as you know I haven’t been on here for very long but you always make me laugh and have been very helpful when I’ve had my ups and downs with pics and not doing stuff quite right when I first started. Don’t ever feel that you’re not accepted you’re an absolute star as far as I’m concerned.
  16. Lizzie, I think I would believe the LEICS and Rutland Wildlife Trust where the warning came from. I think it’s the amount that are put out that’s the problem.
  17. There is a warning locally not to put Halloween pumpkins out in woods and think you are doing the animals a favour. Hedgehogs, badgers and foxes can die or have serious stomach upsets because of the fibrous pulp that they’re not used to.
  18. Talking of plastic flowers can anyone remember the plastic flowers that used to come free in a packet of Daz?
  19. That’s because it’s Bliderth Phil.
  20. My father was an Andres Liver Salt addict. As kids we used to add some to orange to make it fizz
  21. Hubble (ex RCT/RLC) was stationed there towards the end of his 22 year stint, driving for the “boss” . It was great for us as a family as it’s just round the corner from home.
  22. Love the expression on Whattsup’s face nonna. It’s a bit like “yeah I’ve heard it all before”. Just booked a short break in Florence in May 2023, my favourite city, so much so, we named our cat after it!
