    Latest Moan From You and Me 2024

    I quite like app parking but agree, there are too many, one app should be accepted by all carparks, there isn't room for each company or council to have their own quirky app.

    Quince ? Question.

    Lovely shrubs. They're popular round here, although the fruits don't last very well. The flowers on most of them are looking very nice just now. I've been considering one for a gap I have.
