So Robin O.T.H. is a cheap skate then?.... ;D I wonder what you'd get for a special offer week.

Ohhhhhh hang your head in shame Robin  ;D

I think the answer to your question maybe ......they were hibernating and just waking up, sounds daft but could be right.

I don't fink so.   :-\

This turned out to be a very entertaining thread, not quite the thread I was after, but fun none the less.  ;D  ;D  ;D

I remember 1976

We toured Scotland - normally you would expect a fair amount of rain, there was not a drop, the sun shone every day. There were some lovely views with the grass being very green. On our return to the South of England one thing was very noticable, the brown grass everywhere.

It was raining in Scotland, and nowhere else in the country. Maybe not so much, but enough.

I remember that too being the old codger that i am ;D

We were in Great Yarmouth on our holidays and  even the pavements were filled with them, as you walked you could hear this crunching sound and my mum kept on making us clean them off our shoes.

How do i word this  :-\  How does the kit work kitty?  ;D

I must have been there a couple of weeks before. There were masses of greenfly when I was there. It was my first time there with me mam and dad.

Life was so simple then...... :)

we had masses of ladybirds about 10 years ago :)
my youngest son candy~floss fell in love with them :)
when we left for playgroup each morning we had to see how many we could find before we could leave the drive & check again on our return.
my eldest son snake had a thing about foxgloves~we happily spent ages waiting for bumbees to land on their speckled landing strip :) :)
