                                        :) Tony.

Ah, that was it! I too am finding it increasingly difficult to keep up. It’s nice to have the attention, but it’s so much more difficult when your Watchlist grows. thank you for finding the time for me!

Thank you! You’re probably right Karen, but I dare say you could get it on Playstation or X-Box!
                                        :) Tony.

Thank you!

Funny you should ask about the name. Another young lady member just accurately identified it’s significance in the last hour and yet it rarely gets a mention. It is model of an old car from the 1950s. I have owned two Austin A90Six Westminsters in the past. The first when I was younger and ended up being unable to afford to keep running and the second was stolen in broad daylight outside my home five years ago, never to be seen or heard of since.

                                        :) Tony.

Thank you Sandra, but they’re all my babies! How could I favour one over another? So, so glad you like it though!
Truth be told, this shot was sitting in my hard drive for about eighteen months. Since coming to RB I have been trawling through the ‘library’ to see what I think is worthy of uploading. This just needed a little care and attention. It’s great when one sees and others appreciate the results of a little nurture!
                                        :) Tony.

Thank you!

Thanks Tamara! It was one of the many games that kids used to play before Playstaions, Nintendos, X-Boxes and PCs came along and made them all sedentary.

It’s an old game and can go on for hours, or until the kids get fed up with singing and running around.
                                        :) Tony.

The Common or English Bluebells are a wonderful sight in many woods in England, France, Belgium, Spain, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Romania in the Spring. It is being replaced in Spain and Portugal by the Spanish Bluebell and in Italy by the Italian Bluebell.

In the United Kingdom the common bluebell is a protected species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Landowners are prohibited from removing bluebells on their land for sale and it is a criminal offence to remove the bulbs of wild bluebells. This legislation was toughened up in 1998 under Schedule 8 of the Act: the trade in common bluebell bulbs or seeds is an offence.

The colour of the flowers is affected by the soil (don’t ask me which way around it is). Whether it is more acid or more alkali can make the flowers range from blue to a pinky-lavender colour.

                                        :) Tony.
