Looks like the cold snap has deaded my tulips.

We've been luckier there Steve, I don't think the cold snap was as severe down here and we still have a display:

It is not a politician's job to tell the truth, it is their job to tell their version of the truth.

Loved the pictures of the railway viaducts

I'm sorry but recently I've had nothing worth posting in here...

But the other day this magnolia caught my eye... Topiary at its finest!

Today saw the first harvest from the garden:

My son found this picture yesterday, it of a gigantic transformer that was installed at the huge substation in Hawkchurch in the '70s about a mile and a half from here. In order to get it here bridges had to be strengthened and roads widened, had to go through Charmouth as the bypass wasn't built then. I did put a picture on earlier but not as good as this one.

That is lovely Peter. One of my favourite Corgi models was my Pickfords Double Tractor low loader and I used to play with it endlessly. However I never did see the real thing in action!

We could see that lot going along the A35 from our house about 3 miles away! Terrific sub station 440 Kv. Took half of our neighbours farm. There were tyre marks on the road for years afterwards where they turned the corner off the B3165.
