I know that flower as Fox and Cubs but it is the same as your Devil's Paintbrush - Latin name: Pilosella aurantiaca.<br />I get the odd one growing in my front lawn and whilst many regard them as weeds I mow round them - the colour is stunning.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-6458825054736076302020-07-07T13:19:26.823+01:002020-07-07T13:19:26.823+01:00Nice pics Conrad.

I didn't know that, but my PlantSnap app did π.<br /><br />I've got a big D-lock for my bike too, and a motorbike chain to go with it, but Ruth's right - in Manchester that'd delay them no more than 20 seconds or so. It's survived without getting nicked in Heysham, Silverdale, Grange-over-Sands, and Ulverston Canal Foot so far, but its next stop will be Barrow-In-Furness which might be a bigger challenge for it πPaul Hillshttps://5000milewalk.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-79801513337311609612020-07-05T07:31:31.322+01:002020-07-05T07:31:31.322+01:00Saw your older comment, thank you, Conrad. Re bike...Saw your older comment, thank you, Conrad. Re bike locks: I have a big, heavy D lock for my electric Scooty bike, but even those can get hacked through in Manchester, so I donβt ride the bike locally if I know I will have to leave it outside. Even in Scotland, I tend to hide it out of sight of the main road if I can.Ruth Livingstonehttp://www.coastalwalker.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-81155114698607335282020-07-04T22:08:52.599+01:002020-07-04T22:08:52.599+01:00Ruth - I replied to your comment on that older pos...Ruth - I replied to your comment on that older post on the post (just in case you haven't gone back to have a look.)Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-51459272353758493152020-07-04T22:07:41.683+01:002020-07-04T22:07:41.683+01:00Phreerunner - For other readers - I did a temporar...Phreerunner - For other readers - I did a temporary post about New Blogger to which Phreerunner responded.<br /><br />My brother has come to the conclusion that the New Blogger interface one is invited to try in Blogger Dashboard may make it advisable to start a completely new Blogger blog in case the current one is no longer supported or withdrawn. My interpretation is that they have just introduced a new interface for Blogger Dashboard. I have had a look at that and whilst it differs little from the present one I prefer the old one and intend to stick to it for a while. If anybody else agrees with my brother's prediction or has any thoughts I would be interested to hear.<br /><br />------------------------<br /><br />BC - I have at least one more route in that area but in the language of Rum Doodle it means "going high" - well not all that high, but I prefer to save it for a good forecast. I just forgot to include the map and suddenly realised whilst watching some boring tv and letting my mind wsnder, so up I jumped and did the neccessary.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-2198717782534449882020-07-04T19:24:08.742+01:002020-07-04T19:24:08.742+01:00That area around Killington Lake has been a rich s...That area around Killington Lake has been a rich source of walks for you.

That was a good product, whilst Blogger isn't, especially since the Live Writer software became unusable to non-techies like me.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.com
