Breaking news: a hedgehog is building a hibernation nest in my raspberry patch and this morning trundling to and fro with little twigs and suchlike (adorably carried in its mouth.)
Snatched blurry video follows.
(Not as good as my daughter seeing an otter playing in the canal yesterday though)

You can tell he’s cross, because there’s a hammer and sickle on it. If it was a swastika we’d all be trying to work out what he was thinking.

So, off to Colesbourne Gardens for snowdrops today, as usual maintaining that, pretty as some of the cultivated varieties are, what I really like is the minimalist purity of G. nivalis en masse (like the second picture) only to be seduced by several cultivars, including Lady Beatrix Stanley here.

I'm sure you are right on Norin-10 and short-stemmed cereals.
I think the wheat should have been something like this (though God knows where you'd find it).

This arrived in the week and today I took my first look inside.
I can't start reading because my current history book is the very beautiful and poetic Winters In The World by Eleanor Parker (which should complement it nicely) but at first glance I'm really very excited.

Yeah, I take your point.
With Farage pretty much *every* item of clothing he wears on *any* occasion is selling a fake image, he's a fraud and liar on every level.
I just think green wellies in a city street are specially silly.
Should have gone for this look, really.
