A View From (Just By) The Greenhouse; Borders, Who Needs Em’?

6th February 2024 Colin Cross 0

The weather’s taken something of a turn for the better, Daves’ hand is healing up nicely, if you ignore the numb thumb and my back (sadly the saga continues) is just about capable of allowing [more…]

A View (Miles Away) From The Greenhouse; 1,000 Cuts, The Destruction Of A Nation

23rd January 2024 Colin Cross 0

Took a little ride out with the camera club up to Ashness Bridge and then walked up to “Surprise View” where I came across this handsome fellow taking a (probably) well earned break from his [more…]

A View (Round The Corner) From The Greenhouse; Happy New Year……Innit?

9th January 2024 Colin Cross 0

Welcome to 2024 Postaliers. A new year, undoubtedly filled to the brim with the same old bollix. At least, so long as I’m able to maintain my concentration, you’ll have my fortnightly diary to take [more…]

A View From (Almost Opposite) The Greenhouse; A Massacre Of Innocents

10th October 2023 Colin Cross 0

I’m pretty sure it was one of “The Merry Pranksters” and, if my memory serves (which it rarely does these days unless it’s a Temptations or Bob Dylan lyric, or how much a pint was [more…]

A View (Several Miles Away) From The Greenhouse; Back In’t Saddle

26th September 2023 Colin Cross 0

We’re into “proper” autumn now and there’s little left to do in the greenhouse, apart from occasionally water the last of the tomatoes, keep an eye on the pepper and chilli plot, do a bit [more…]

Culture

A View From The Greenhouse; The Ubiquitous Mission Statement!

12th September 2023 Colin Cross 0

I’ve mentioned “Old Jack” and his abandoned (now becoming ramshackle) old house before, on more than one occasion. If it were just about anywhere else in the UK which isn’t a tiny rural hamlet, I’m [more…]

A View From (Somewhere In The Area Of) The Greenhouse; We’re All “Far Right” Now….Innit?
