Yes, Kathy, frogs normally seek out somewhere warm when the colder nights draw in. What better a place than in among the compost, and there's a meal slithering around almost obligingly as it happens. :hehe: I think that my own greatest fear in working around either of my gardens, it's the...

We once had a pair of Osprey flying over the Goyt valley here in the hills of Derbyshire. I was working at the time and so, unfortunately, I couldn't get over to see them. Anyway, it is interesting to note that one of the pair is far behind the other in France, while the other is in Portugal....

With that description clueless I`m oh so glad our insect friends are the small size they are. Just Imagine the scene if they were more our size!

Thanks for sharing that what a wonderful story

Mztrouble, hi no we never saw any unfortunately. :(Woo, well I never! Our hotel was right next to Greenwich Park (we discovered the area when my sister lived on Shooters Hill Road] You know the walk under The Thames then. The Cutty Sark is all covered at the moment. The area around there...

Very interesting, but there were a couple of points that I'm not convinced about. They suggest an egg cup for holding this mix. Surely the last thing the bees want is something deep enough to fall into and drown. Also, such a sweet sugary mix will not only be attractive to bees, I reckon it...

Got to try again
