It's amazing how quickly these little mites bounce back from illness. Our great-grandson was in hospital one Christmas when he was 18 months old. We have videos of him sat up in bed with tubes everywhere, opening his presents without a care in the world, and the biggest smile on his face you could imagine. I remember as a parent how I would wish I could be ill or feel the pain instead of my children. Another lovely day here, for the moment, at 17c, but showers forecast for later, we shall see. Another lazy day planned for us, so enjoy your day everyone, whatever you're up to on land or sea. Avril 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennizor No expert but we had summat like that growing ,turned out to be Bramble and it took some getting rid of once established ,possibly some bird that dropped it last year . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennizor It looks a little like a raspberry shoot too,and as kalos said, it could also be a bramle. Something that a bird has eaten and then 'deposited the remainder'😉 You could pot it up and see what it grows into. We have two lovely holly trees that the birds kindly gave us, and we transplanted them where we wanted them. Avril 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will pot it up just to see what it turns out to be. We have loads of birds flying into the garden from the woods so it sounds worth a try.

Jennizor Looks like a Horse Chestnut, given the size when fully grown not really a tree for garden unless you have a very big garden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted May 7 #58119 Share Posted May 7 We had rain overnight again. It was looking very dull when I got up, but although it's bright blue sky the sun is out. It's about 12c now but expected to get up to 15c, so not too bad. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted May 7 #58120 Share Posted May 7 Good morning. I hope everyone had a nice bank holiday weekend and good night's sleep. It is 9°C and dry at the moment but looks like rain clouds coming our way. I hope everyone on here are feeling well this morning and we all have a happy day. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splice the mainbrace Posted May 7 #58121 Share Posted May 7 13c cloudy but dry here today. It was also dry here yesterday but it looks like we had some light rain overnight. Some newspaper headlines state a Bank Holiday washout but they are selective where it was a washout, it was pleasant here. I’ll try and go for a walk today over the local fields, hopefully they have dried out somewhat the last week or so, it’s been so wet and muddy that I haven’t walked over them for the last 6 months. I think that the ‘mystery’ plant is a Horse Chestnut. We have many wildlife planted plants in our garden. Hazel, Holly, Mountain Ash, Walnut and Elderberry, I weed out most but let others mature as I have quite a wildlife friendly garden. I am a bit restricted what I can do in the garden at the moment because of the birds nesting, I can tell when I am close to them because I can hear their warning calls (Blackbird, Great Tits, Robin + Wood Pigeon that doesn’t call anything but just panicks 😂). I need to trim back some Ivy but I know there is a Blackbird nest in there somewhere, so I’m waiting for now until I see/hear the babies out of the nest. It also means that we are on cat and magpie watch who we energetically scare off if seen in our garden. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Megabear2 Posted May 7 #58122 Share Posted May 7 Bank Holiday washout well and truly here. Driving home on A303 on Sunday reached Basingstoke and hitbtorrential downpours, followed by high winds and even hail. Just as bad at home when I got here. Apparently apart from a couple of hours on Saturday it hadn't stopped raining since I left. Yesterday was dark, wet and miserable, we had to put the lights on at 3.30pm it was so bad. This morning we have mist and a little haze. Very doubtful the talked about 20 degrees is going to materialise although hopefully it will be dry. It's all very draining and depressing no hint of Spring at all, the thousands of snails that are wandering around the garden are having a field day. Just took 20 of the little so and sos of my youngest Acer. Still cold enough to put the heating on yesterday morning to take the chill off. So yes I can confidently agree with bank holiday washout! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah washout for some unfortunately. I see your location, my son went to the Totton v Salisbury football play off yesterday afternoon as he follows Totton as well as a season ticket holder at Southampton. Salisbury won on penalties after extra time so were promoted to National League South 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
