Seeing standing stones around solstice time

Apart from mentions of Stonehenge at solstice time, we think this is a first for Weeds! Here are some brilliant photographs from Rich up in the Lake District of a stone circle very local to him called Castlerigg. More on the stone circle here and here. This looks like a brilliant place. Cheers Rich!

Any of our readers got any good standing stone pictures? Or have one around the corner from where they live. If so, send them over to one deck pete at gee mail dot come and we’re post them up.

More pics and info of Castlerigg on Julian Cope’s Modern Antiquarian here.

Tomato fruit puller. Puller, puller

Whilst researching a future post, we found this great variety of tomato from Seed Spring Seeds (website here).

As it says in the blurb on the site:
A Romanian tomato producing large, roughly heart-shaped fruit that weigh an average of 365g and measure about 8.5cm in diameter. Captain Beefheart’s big taste is combined with a juicy flesh, tender skin and few seeds, making it one of the best large-fruited tomatoes you are likely to encounter. The plants are good growers and will produce fruit well into the autumn.

A pepper called Frank Zappa anyone?

The above is a fantastic Beefheart tune as played on the excellent Andrew Weatherall – Live at Antenna Studios mixtape here.
