Chesterfield Discussion / Storm

« on: November 15, 2025, 02:11:33 PM »

So hopefully we have survived yesterdays torrential rain without any flooding?
We are high up in our village so don't get a problem. I felt so sorry for those who were desperately trying to keep water out of their homes!

General Discussion / Garden V hot weather

« on: August 26, 2025, 03:11:22 PM »

Mine has been rubbish this year.
I've never had so little in bloom in my pots.
The lawns dying off - mainly due to hubby being obsessed with cutting it!
When I nagged -- errr no sorry explained to him that it was only the dandelions which were growing not the grass he went round chopping their poor little heads off

Chesterfield Discussion / Keeping cool ideas

« on: July 14, 2025, 06:07:12 PM »

There must be some we can share as this weather is a scorcher isn't it.
The lawns going brownish, even the wild flowers on it are dying off.
My pot plants need continually watering but I'm doing my bit and filling a bucket with our slops to tip over them.
Two fans on in the bedroom at night.
The ceiling fan on all day in the dining room and the Lounge fan goes on as soon as we go to sit down in there -
Think I'm getting too old for this hot weather - even me old feet have puffed up and they don't usually do that!!

General Discussion / Trends

« on: May 27, 2025, 10:56:10 AM »

We have a several trends occurring now in violence.
The one last night is just one instance where a motorist drove into the crowd celebrating Liverpool FC win.

We have schools talking about the possibility of screening pupils for weapons as they enter school grounds. Kids carrying knives when out in the public - yes kids as some of them are just that.
Knives seemed to be used frequently. This reminds me of the Teddy Boy era carrying flick knives - have we any ex Teddy Boys on here I'm wondering?
It's a sad era

General Discussion / The Garden

« on: April 22, 2025, 09:55:28 AM »

Our garden is mainly lawn these days with trees around all sides.
I use planters for my flowers and herbs, it's easy maintenance.

During the winter I lost what I'll call a Broom bush when the wind actually uprooted it, despite efforts to settle it back into the ground it's obviously dead!

I've bought another to replace and it will go with the other bushes I have which give good ground cover in that top corner of the garden, and so cut down on garden work, I've bought few bedding plants as well.

I also have an old tin bath which I use for flowers, this is my youngest brothers corner who died in 2014.
The blue bells and other spring flowers are out now giving a smattering of colour.

I'm looking forward to a decent summer!

General Discussion / The Pope

« on: April 22, 2025, 09:43:44 AM »

As you will know the Pope has died. RIP.
He was very ill for a long time and given his age one would assume he wouldn't survive. He was obviously a strong gentleman and managed a brief spell on the balcony not so long ago to say hello to his people.
Even then it was obvious he was gravely ill.
So --- why are some surprised and shocked he has passed?
I'm not Catholic but realise how important this is to the Catholic people. I believe he was the first Pope to recognise Homosexuality was not a crime so good on him for that.
Our news will again be taken over by one news item and everything else pales into significance.
