I'm the same Mrs B. I have a lot of scarves knitted for 'emergency' gifts and I made 40 baby hats recently and gave to a midwife. Can't just sit and watch the telly. Plus knitting keeps me awake!

We visited Osterley House and Garden in Isleworth last year and these geese were there. I had never seen one before and had to Google what I was looking at! Beautiful birds.

As I was reading your post Jill, I thought of Hyacinth! I love the episode where she bought skis for the roof rack on the car, so the neighbours thought they could ski!

Was her name Mrs Malaprop?

You reminded me of a trip over to the UK. We were showing the country to a couple of American friends. We had been to a show in London then popped into a pub afterwards. I asked for a port and lemon, a drink I hadn't had in years. The young barman gave me a glass of port with a slice of lemon in it! Obviously a new drink to him.

Bells Lane Estate was planted with blossom trees, but every 5 or 6 houses apart. We had a flowering plum, opposite was almond and 5 doors up was a horse chestnut. All gone now.
