@NetworkRailEUS @LNRailway @transportgovuk @AvantiWestCoast @TfL Add the disaster of moving the taxi rank. Passengers having to wait 45 mins for a taxi! A shambles.

A photo that should make everyone responsible hang their heads in shame.
A catastrophic failure of government.

@implausibleblog Interesting that a single word can condemn a school but not Boris. Hypocrisy!

[Ann Dukes @AnnPaceybuck]

@BritishTelecom I quite agree

[Shit Lawns @Shitlawns]

RSPB #BigGardenBirdwatch data shows that the number of house sparrows spotted in UK gardens has dropped by nearly 60% since 1979.

Wonder why...

Sorry, just clarify for me again: what is it I do if I haven’t got a computer…?

[Ann Dukes @AnnPaceybuck]

@KateWarwickPRS @BSBIbotany I would hazard a guess at a Choisya Aztec Pearl.

This is good. It was starting to look messy, and I didn't like the Corn Buntings, Yellowhammers, Linnets, Tree+House Sparrows, Stonechat, Dunnock, Robins, Wrens and Goldfinches that were using it to feed much anyway.

Another ‘Your Garden Made Perfect’ revisit. This time to see how the garden I designed for Laura and @DemiPendakis has matured.

Demi tells me the garden is used every day and is much loved by all the family.

“Start with the premise you’re not going to use plastic tree guards. Use them if it’s the only feasible way to protect the trees in that location.”

[Helen Elks-Smith @ES_GardenDesign]

Water doesn’t always need to sit at ground level. It can be raised to eye level and you can bring a wonderful sense of drama to the garden by adding height and introducing level changes.

Here's a recently designed water feature we created for a new project on the #IsleofWight

How beautiful is this. Could be contemporary.

[Shropshire Council @ShropCouncil]

☀️An extraordinary sun pendant is to go on public display for the first time right here in Shropshire.

The pendant could be one of the most significant pieces of Bronze Age metalwork ever discovered in Britain.
