My cats watched the Horizon programmes and I am beginning to see results.

On 3 consecutive days Nikki has brought me a rodent - wood mouse, shrew and shrew.  Why am I happy - they were all dead  :) ;D :)  Previously she brought them in alive and her sister would chase them round the lounge.

And now another baby vole - minus head.

As she was hand reared it shows that the instinct to hunt must be really well rooted in her genes = surprising perhaps as her mother was Burmese.

I'm having a quiet day - sun has been coming  in the window ( most of the time) and I've been having a pleasant rummage around the internet.

While having a quiet Tweet on behalf of the SRGC, I found a quiz from Cowell's Garden Centre about the ID of a pretty Irish bred primrose - we've discussed these before  in the forum - commercial production of some super plants for the garden  - anyway - got the answer right- plant was Primula 'Dunbeg' 



- so I nominated a dearly loved pal who lives nearby to receive the plant - a belated birthday gift to Victoria- the Angel of the Ponteland Show kitchen ( tho' that is only ONE of her accomplishments!)
Many Happy returns of the other day, Vixen!



"Our 1st WINNER of #NameThePlant after the relaunch. Congrats to Victoria and @ScottishRockGC #PlantingSmiles   "

 Much love from me xxx

Now, this is GOOD news! http://www.srgc.net/forum/Smileys/classic/lipsrsealed.gif :P
Scientists believe that flavanols, the antioxidants inside cocoa beans, could stall memory loss in elderly people - Cup of cocoa could give the elderly the memory of a 'typical 30 or 40-year-old'

 http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/cup-of-cocoa-could-give-the-elderly-the-memory-of-a-typical-30-or-40yearold-9819783.html     8) :D

I'm not quite so thrilled that folk in their sixties are described as "elderly" though.  :P

Yeh, Maggi I am with you on that subject. I have to write everything down now and I hate when you get upstairs and think why am i up here.

Still I am still able to cut my hedges, its took me weeks to do them all but I have taken the hedges down by half. Iain had to jump up to try and see over the hedge the last time he was here, well not know. Dosent look very good but hopefully it will green up again. No more ladders for me. I planted these hedges to try and break the wind but now realise unless I let them get to 30ft high I have no chance. Windy it will be here and not much I can do about it.

Angie  :)
ps note it was me that cut the hedges down, where was hubby.  ::) :-X
