Such problems are a pest, Mark.... and then there are the crashes and other assorted snafus with computers that can drive us crazy..... at least it is summer and y there are a million other things to occupy your time... the Swift Watching and the pursuit of the still active narcissus fly, from what I see in another thread..... :o

Maggi and Mark,
not only a problem on the British Isles. German Telekom is not a bit better. Friends of us have no telephone and internet for four weeks.
The miracle of technique. >:( >:(

I'm using Margaret Glynns internet just now while we wait for 40 Australians to arrive and have a walk around the garden

Say hi to Margaret from me. :) And hope you get your internet access sorted soon.
-
I will.

I don't think it matters, anthony: Margaret's garden is so lovely that they'll faint when they see it and can lie there and look around in amazement! ;D

Stay with us in spirit Mark. Back soon we hope.

Mark was on BBC Northern Ireland's "Secret Gardens" this evening. It was filmed earlier in the year as Mark was wearing a heavy coat and showed some of his snowdrops.

Mark sorry to hear about your internet problems - it's only when things don't work we realise how much we like/need to use them!
I thought of you when in Scotland as my brother is very excited about having encourage swifts to return to his home with music playing after many years ;)
-
Paddy - The programme was filmed about 4 years ago. No red in my hair these days. Margaret says time goes by too quickly and not enough is ever done/finished. Keep well ;)
RR - very small world! They were a lovely couple. I hope they get nest boxes up

Mark,
Yes, I thought the red highlights were sometime in the past alright.
Four years ago! Still pleasant to view the garden.

A small world indeed if I'm reading this correctly - you were the instigator of the return of the Swifts after years of swiftlessness - hailed as Swift Man? ;)

Not quite, but pushed hard, with other groups, to get their status changed
