Just an Ordinary Owl? @JudyEv There is a corrugated iron fence behind it and a paved area round it but the side is open to an area of dry grass. I wouldn't care to see any sparks go that way and they could. depending on the wind and how well the fire was kept.

Just an Ordinary Owl? @vandana7 I don't know how the UK runs the NHS, exactly, but funding for the service is allocated by the Chancellor in his budget and the NHS managers distribute the money as required.It must be a huge task! Our tax rates are also fixed by the Chancellor and...

To begin with, ladybugs are not really bugs. They are beetles known as Ladybird beetles by entomologists. The ones we know here in North America are the seven-spotted ladybugs with shiny red and black bodies. They actually come in...

Just an Ordinary Owl? @MALUSE I knew it was Käfer, of course, but I couldn't be bothered to look up how to type 'a umlaut' and wasn't sure whether it would work here - some do, some come up with the unaccented letter and some produce a '?' instead. I was as meticulous as the...

What, in heaven's name is a Cucamelon, I hear you ask! A cucamelon is a small Mexican fruit, about the size of a grape, which is a relative of the cucumber or gherkin (and less closely related to melons). It looks just like a...

Just an Ordinary Owl? Surely, prickly pears don't grow in Switzerland! I see recently that someone is growing mangos in the South of France and I already know that Iceland is the largest banana producer in Europe. I think I did try a prickly pear once. I don't remember that it...

Just an Ordinary Owl? @Vree0937 What I'm referring to is not the small individual skewers but something called a Doner Kebab. It's a very large piece of meat on a vertical pole which rotates in front of a grill. As the outside layers of the meat cook, they are sliced off and...

Just an Ordinary Owl? @m_audrey6788 Lamb doesn't seem to be as popular in other places. It's used a lot in the Middle East and India, of course, mainly because of the restrictions on pork (Islam and Judaism) and beef (Hinduism). It's apparently not as common in the US as it is here...

The man who led the Chieftains and helped spread traditional Irish music around the world has died. Paddy Maloney. He was 83 years young. Many times the Chieftain's rolicking music yanked me out of a down in the dumps stew. So...

Just an Ordinary Owl? @sallypup Paddy Maloney was a very fine pipe player but he always saw himself as an ambassador of the uillean pipes and was more than happy to showcase other pipers and to encourage young pipers. I'm sure that he must have been the inspiration for hundreds of...

Just an Ordinary Owl? Although it looks like a cross between a melon and a cucumber, they are entirely different species. As you probably know, melons and gourds (which include cucumbers and marrows) developed in the Old World - Asia and Europe - while pumpkins, squashes and so on...

Just an Ordinary Owl? @MALUSE It's certainly not a window sill or window box plant! It seems to want to take over the world! However, it's not frost hardy, so it dies back in the winter.

Just an Ordinary Owl? I can recommend the soup. Most recipes are for cold cucumber soup (not cooked) but as this is a cooked recipe, it can be frozen (before adding the cream).
