Cheers to Rich in the Lake District for another lovely picture from his front garden (possibly a contender for our nicest view from a front garden award). He told us yesterday “It’s a fairly nice day today, wind has dropped and only a sprinkle of snow on the highest hills.”
During the storm they did have a power cut which lasted as long as it took them to find the candles and torches, light in comparison when during past storms they’ve had them for up to 5 days. Blimmin’ eck!
Good to hear Storm Dave didn’t kick off too much or create much trouble (as some Daves do when they get angry.)
Happy Birthday Rich and good luck to all gardeners if they’re doing some Bank Holiday gardening today.
Disclaimer: * We are not getting at any Dave in particular and have mentioned it for purely humorous purposes. We know a few by the way (Mad Dave, Tai Chi Dave and Dave across the road) and all are lovely Daves.




Cheers to Rich in the Lake District for sending this lovely snap today and don’t it look great up in the background? “A lovely day here, freezing and sunny.” It wasn’t bad here in London today either, bright and sunny. And no rain for a change.
A big cheers to Rich in the Lake District again, for sending this picture of what appeared in his front garden the other day. Wow, that is one mad “male Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), also frequently called a Ring-necked Pheasant.” as AI told us. Cheers Rich, anything else mad that turns up as mad please let us know.
Cheers to Rich in the Lake District for sending these great sunset pictures from last week. Looks like quite a magical place! Keep those pictures coming.


Following on from our last post of Rich R‘s front garden in the lake district, this is what he said “If I turn the camera a couple of degrees the view is, in my opinion, even better!” and he’s right!
