Trotted off down there last Sunday for a plant sale and afterwards wandered around the Sculpture Garden for a bit, weather was good and even without the sculpture the gardens were worth a look, palms, agaves, aloes, tree ferns etc. Some sculpture pictures. Restless Temple Slip of the Lip ...

Flying dragons were the only way ancients could describe all the UFO's flying about. Same with flying turtles. Turtle shell is the same shape as a UFO.

We have Amazon Prime and it's very good next day delivery, most of the time we order things that we have bought before and cheaper. Some things we haven't bought before and have to know exactly what you want, can send them back if needed. We also have a few Amazon smart speakers and if you've...

Thanks, that's made my day I was a youngster then, but by the mid 1980s I was just coming into my prime years. By the late 80s I was at an age where I took an interest in my health, not because it was the right thing to do, but because my hormones were raging and being a bright lad, I figured...

Unfortunately, from a dispersal drainage point of view, we have very flat land here so the liquids just tend to seep away very slowly. One of the neighbours, who has a 2,000 gallon tank still pumps his surface liquid into the field. It's an electric pump with a very long hose attached and, at...

Good evening @Jack Sparrow and @JJ28 my friends and thank you my friends for your kind and friendly birthday greetings

@Purple Streaks sorry to hear that your grandson has had a difficult time.I'm afraid that from my perspective, the pandemic brought out the worst in many people, specifically the grown ups. By that I mean there was lots of publicity about the risk of killing a loved one just by breathing near...
