Just want to raise a round of applause for the hardworking wildlife gardeners and beekeepers who tend the 1 yr old wild garden in Peckham Park.


Reading this =>http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/jun/13/honeybee-colonies-england-winter today made me doubly grateful.


In my front yard containers of herbs are attracting honeybees whenever there is sunshine. They seem to adore the aromatics such as thyme and rosemary and I wonder whether these offer protective substances they can carry back to the hive?


Making me happy and doing something to help by gardening for their delight in return.

Thanks.

      I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan.

      First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .

      The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
