Patricia W Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) I like the phrase “technically” aren’t allowed to drink”. Good fun though. I remember taking 20 x 17 year old to Harrods for a trip. It was an assignment where they had to choose a destination, and make all the arrangements. We did all get there and back, but it was a bit hairy at times! Edited January 30, 2020 by Patricia W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Have fun CT, where are you heading for? Lovely mild day yesterday, we visited Hughenden Manor and learned some stuff about Disraeli, Queen Victoria and Bomber Command and I watched a beekeeper for a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Lovely pics, PL. That's a lot of hives! Do they sell the honey there? It's not too far from us but we've never visited. My fault, I think, as I can't enthuse about history after 1745! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do a Jack the Ripper tour and do a musical and then back home again. Tried to squeeze as much in 4 days without making the kids drag themselves from museum to museum or church.

Cat tails Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 What happened to the “Owns:” thingy on the left? I used to own a Go Up and a Qute. Now I own an 8 and 12... 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Lovely piccies. Never noticed the owns, but I did have to sign in again - then it said report error to the bods and I had no authority to go on this post/site - fleeting glimpse as I closed it down. Reopened and I notice that I did sign in so why the error and why not allowed if I was signed in? Ah the joys of technology. Going to some pub today, to meet up with OH's cousin and her husband somewhere in Somerset, we noticed where the fibre optic cable had been laid in the centre of the road. To say we were miffed that it stopped short of the Devon border was an understatement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lovely walled garden and they use the products in their café. It's a pleasant, interesting place to visit. I seem to like history of any period even modern.

Beantree Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I saw another bright light last night, similar to the one last year. It appeared overhead and tracked South at about half the speed of the previous one. Definitely space debris because just before it disappeared it split into two. There must be an awful amount of junk up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Have no idea, but there are a number of satellite trains flying a round. It’s a collection of 40 odd small satellites that circle the earth and fly close to each other, like a train. They have lights and look like a light trail across the sky. Haven’t seen them myself, but apparently they give astronomers a headache, as they are self steering, so they can’t predict when they will pass overhead.

Seriously, it's a bit worrying when you think about the amount of junk that we humans have left floating around in space. Sort of a galactic teenager's bedroom really.

Cat tails Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 By the way, if anyone is visiting London, I can immensely recommend seeing the musical &Juliet!

patsylabrador Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) There was a deer running around Eastcote yesterday. I felt sorry for it. It was on a busy, noisy junction. I was amazed by the number of people who didn't see it. I was thinking Hey People! LOOK! It survived the junction. It was small, the size of a large fox which is what I thought it was at first. Lots of wildlife live along the tube embankment, do you think deer would do that? We're on the outside edge of London so maybe deer are moving in like foxes and red kites. I've never seen a deer anywhere near here before. I should add that the place I saw it is very close to the tube line which goes right out towards Amersham, Uxbridge and so on which is why I wondered if the deer are migrating along the tube lines.

The Dogmother Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Could be - you'd be surprised how many are near town centres now that the weather is colder. There was a young red deer careening around Banbury town centre once, no idea where it came from; some folks and I herded it into an empty shop unit where they were doing work, closed the door and turned off the lights while one of the guys got his van - we loaded it into that and he dropped it up to Crouch Hill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
