Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Dustyevsky

GB, we have spotted hedgehogs with white blotches on them too. They aren't the ones we've marked, because we use very small blobs of correction fluid. 

I've now resized the trail camera picture from Friday night, and it's loaded at last! It shows the fox arriving on the scene and two small hogs, one drinking and the other peeping around the corner of the feeding box. There's a half paving slab on top of the box to (hopefully!) prevent the fox from opening it or turning it over. 

Farway, you could try resizing.  Better than nowt.    Is MSE putting a restriction on size, I wonder? 

OT: Cool, grey, promise of sunshine later. It was very late yesterday.

Morning all, on World Conker Championships Day  

Tapeley looks like a place you could spend all day at Dusty, always something new round the corner or over the wall Who'd've thunk Fox meets Hog would've gone so peacefully, and I'm glad to hear MiniHog is a greedy gannet Are you and walking friend gonna buy yourselves bubble gum and baseball caps or something, to stop people worrying about your possible frailty? Bah grrr erigeron *sigh* Would Tapeley make a good Rottery Acres..? Might be the only way some of us get eriginon is to move into a house that already has them ha haa!

We did have a good day at the beach 2p, we went to Filey in case the Food Festival was any good (it wasn't), then on to Whitby to take advantage of the lovely weather Pics to follow, possibly. It's the same here with shrinking services/shops but they're throwing up houses like someone's paying them like there's no tomorrow. Doesn't make a bluddy bit of sense to me, but then no-one's asking me so... Have you tried your compost toms yet...? 

Lol at you clutching your pearls Farway, that woulda had me looking twice too Speaking of which, it's now Fanta Fuhrer Fingers crossed they realise to cut that tree before you lose power lines. The Doncaster house - looking at recently sold nearby ones, it's toppy for what/where it is, but maybe too much garden as well. Too much house+land for too much money, who ever thought that'd be A thing? Oh and I've worked out why you're fluey and achey - bit too much bleach in that jag  

Yours looks like a healthy sized hog gb, maybe the white powder is flea powder? (Do they do that to the ones they release..?) 

OT bright enough out there but it's still and damp and not the weather for getting a wash out I'm only waiting on the sun getting up a bit further so I can get out in my garden and de-weed the lawn a bit more.

I don’t know about size being everything, but it is for rights of way for boats/ships - 

Good to see Whitby hasn’t lost its lighter side (remember hefty slabs of Whitby flapjack?) - 

There was a lovely sky driving home last night - 

And there was a bit of goodness left in when viewed from my back door - 

This is annoying. I’m on my phone so I can put pics on, then save draft, then press F5 on my laptop so I can do writing but the comment box is empty! What’s occurring?!

This is the one it wouldn’t load. Well it is a load of rubbish 🙃

What a great sign!
I'd like to see more of that sort of thing.

So that's what Whitby looks like. I've always been curious when I read people's holiday posts.
I think because I've seen so little of the coast around there it's like a foreign country 😁

Love the hog pics 😊

I remember the ice house vividly. Such peaceful gardens because they aren't overrun with visitors, you can take your dog round and the view is amazing 

Not much to say yet. It's very dark and gloomy. A lot of ground rock hard so watering is on the list. Like Farway, no rain predicted.
A lot of eating apples which may be cooked down for the freezer. Saw a basket of eaters I think outside a house. May gather some for chutney during the week.
There's lots of things I could do so I'm going to sit with my book and coffee and think about it 😉

Aw, are you trying to make me feel homesick with your Whitby pic, YBE. It looks like it was a lovely day. My DDs were up on the moors fairly near to Whitby yesterday, sitting outside a pub having a drink (and a Parmo, if anyone knows what that is) it was that nice   

Love the fox and hounds hogs pic, Dusty.

I wondered about flea powder for greenbee's hog too.

It's nice and sunny now, but it was fretty rain (0% chance of rain, according to the forecast) when I was hanging the washing outside...
