I often find myself looking everywhere for my glasses, only to find that I am still wearing them. Other times I put my hand up to remove my glasses , then I remember I am not wearing them. Is this just me being silly or do most...

I have never understood train spotters and rail enthusiasts. Trains are really not that different to buses, and yes I know there are bus spotters out there too but I certainly never understood them either! I’ve been on diesel...

Fleur Yes I was careful not to stick my head out of the window and get a face-full of smuts!

Fleur My partner's grandfather also worked on the railways, his father used to hang about the engine sheds after school apparently, and get little rides when they shunted the engines about. And his grandfather had the (I guess less prestigious) job of scything the...

Fleur They haven't been in regular use here since before I was born, they were replaced by diesel powered engines in the 1950s, but some enthusiasts keep a few engines running on some special railways, just for tourists.

This is what came up in the garden plot where I had tomatoes growing last year. They're pretty, and delicate looking, but I don't know how or from where they came. The weirdest things just pop up in my gardens.

Fleur @BarBaraPrz If they are, then at least they have shallow roots and are easy to remove.

We went to a nearby suburb on Saturday and participated in a lamb-tasting afternoon. We had to rate seven small pieces of lamb for tenderness, juiciness and flavour. Sixty people in three groups of twenty participated and, for our...

We don’t go to the seaside all that often, because it’s at the very least two hours’ drive from here, and when we do go the closest places have sandy beaches, so there was a lot of excitement this week when we were in part of the...

Many of you may have noticed that I have not been on MyLot for quite a while. The reason was because my husband was very sick and has now died. I simply did not have the time for MyLot. Since his death, I have been buried with...

Fleur about the pegs. It's funny what pops into the mind isn't it? Hermit crabs are really cute. They can grow quite big but we don't see the big ones often of course, at least not on the shore or in shallow water. I still remember years ago when Big...

Fleur I remember a news story about a man who passed out at a supermarket checkout. It turned out he had a frozen chicken hidden under his hat and was trying to steal it but the cold went to his head and he didn't make it out of the shop

Fleur @xFiacre @LadyDuck The first time I went on a commercial flight was in the 90s, that was not so bad, the queues were quite short and we could go up to the cockpit and admire the view and chat to the pilots. I remember flying over the Alps, so beautiful. Now...
