My summer flowers have given up, I feel like Autumn is already here. The trees in the park look like they're already on the turn.


The baby pigeons are now cute and like mini-pigeons rather than alien monsters, although the mother still tries to sit on them at night, hilarious! She can barely cover one, let alone two.


I am hoping to see the meteor shower this evening...

I am now convinced Autumn is here - along with my ED observations, on a drive down south yesterday [apologies I'm referencing non-ETD for a moment ;-)] I noticed all the fields have already been harvested, the blackberries are ripe, and the horses have started to get their fluffy winter coats.

I've got some spare strawberry plants if anyone would like them. I can also report that I had my first barter with homemade this morning. Some freshly picked stalks of rhubarb were exchanged for a flat white and a croissant with butter and jam. Result!

The apples seemed to have increased in size in the last week or so I guess it's the inch and a half of rain we've had.


The green gages are becoming more yellow and getting ever nearer to ripening.


It is only a tiny little bush I bought last year, but it is absolutely laden with fruit so it seems to like it in ED.

"A bright green grasshopper/cricket thingy jumped on to my hand yesterday - he appeared to have come from a hazel tree I was sitting under." I noticed a couple of those in our garden today and I've just twigged (pun intended) that I was standing under our neighbour's hazel tree. How does one tell the difference between a cricket and a grasshopper?

Bit of a long shot, but I posted a link on this thread a while ago re where I get my bird fat snax off the internet, and I can't find it.


Nobody made a note of it by any chance?


Pathetic I know but I can't track down my last receipt. Even though I have a file marked "birds and bird food", the latest thing in it is from 2008 :-$


I have googled Gardman fat snax but none of the suppliers who come up ring a bell, and I want to make sure I'm getting the best deal :))

Not sure about the night / day cricket / grasshopper thing - maybe the cricket is more active at night but it's also around and about during the day as that's when I've always spotted them. If it looked like this, it was a cricket: http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRo3fsaFtu-i9LLJ6UnQYp2B0YxXHxHpwWHoBWJhVUxJ184w_0&t=1&usg=__q8ytcbTByGtUx6ujIGG3T1pb2Ro=

I was walking past the medical centre in Townley Road this afternoon when I saw what looked like two small furry dead animals on the pavement. I was just trying to work out what they were when I heard someone say "They've fallen out of the tree", and realised they were young squirrels. I wonder how those deaths came about.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
