    So beautiful, what luck you had today. Did you know the dragon flies here in this country only live 6 months, from egg to adulthood. Keep watching though as you may see more xx

    And the nymphs are the most ferocious creature in the pond, they will eat tadpoles and most things that move, we have frogs, newts and all the insect life in our pond too, love seeing nature doing its thing :)

    In the bigger ponds/lakes the pike are horrible things, saw one take a young duckling once, they will eat anything they can get their teeth into. Nature, red in tooth and claw.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    yes, I use it most of the time (being very anti-google and its intrusiveness)

    It is fine although one slight niggle is that search results can sometimes be a bit USA biased but it's not that much of an issue. At least you know it's not tracking your every move for its own ends...

    Foxie, you are brilliant. I've been reading about it and wAs tempted but had never heard anyone mention it by name. I'm just totally fed up being targeted and having to accept cookies blah blah blah.

    My next question is, do I remove anything from computer before downloading please? My husband thinks I'm mad wanting to be part of a 'foreign' search engine :o. Men! :rotfl:

    That's why I love living close to the wood, beautiful natural wild pond, badger sett, deer and fox , oh of course all the birds around the edges. Fantastic just sitting, looking and listening xx

    Not sure if everyone could use it.

    no, it's just a search engine so you don't install anything. Just go to https://duckduckgo.com/ and start using it instead of Google. You can also set it as your default search page so you need never use Google again if you don't want to :rotfl:

    Hi, just wondering if you managed to get the frontline you were looking for?

    Yes - I was going round in circles trying all of the usual online places. I even found some very short dated packs of 3 pippettes which would have at least have solved the immediate problem.
    What was annoying me was up to £4 postage for something thin and light enough to go through the letter box.
    Then I went back to Amazon and found 6 for £17.99, cheaper than the ones I got in February - free delivery, ordered yesterday and arrived this morning - if only all niggly annoying problems were as easily sorted!
