There are hundreds of gulls here & I doubt if any one of them has ever seen the sea!

I was considering suggesting that JR removed his posting to the 'Pedants' thread.............

J.R. got there before I did, it must be a 'mod' thing.

During the days of the Box Hill and Brighton battles, I was, unfortunately of the third pursuasion. (Secretly, I was a motorbike owner and rider, though !)

What a very handsome boy! I'm also hugely impressed by the perfectly manicured border

Re: Cats, dogs, pets and other animals....
Well, Jo; I had just shaped and dug out a new flower bed and planted a polemonium caeruleum Alba. Of course a cat will always arrive, supervise and then writhe on one's current activity! This includes reading a paper, ironing or bedmaking...
Liz, perhaps, if Mary ever has time, she might post (small angushed wail) her methods for Posting a Precious Pet Pic? I've admired your HOGOF picture of adorable Kit the Ragdoll. Does he really lie limply and lovingly in your lap?
Mary, have mercy upon us!

Re: Cats, dogs, pets and other animals....
TBA planted, very carefully, a row of Beet Spinach, which have grown, nicely, to abou 1 inch high.
As I approached the Greenhouse, this morning, I saw that they had all been scratched up and spread about.
We have no Meerkats or MoleRats, in our garden ------- nor any Grey Squirrels, since I "Disposed" of them
But if I catch the culprit, which is furry,
I shall be digging another hole !

Re: Cats, dogs, pets and other animals....
Are you sure that the culprit is furry, Neill? We have a lot of nasty vicious blackbirds that throw stuff all over the garden. And then they sit on the fence and shout at their humans to get some food out a bit sharpish.

Re: Cats, dogs, pets and other animals....
I have examined the "Spoor", and, for the culprit to be feathered, it would have to have the A*******ole of an Ostrich !
I exaggerate --- but it ain't feathered.
We are now away for 3 weeks, on a Cruise, so I expect the worst on our return
