The blackberries I saw this morning along Secmaton Lane were looking a bit sad. Quite small and dry looking and quite a few are still green.

Loved guz gogs when I was a kid.

Whatever the reason(s) if you have a garden that you can no longer manage, Dawlish Transition may have an answer to your problem in that it is looking for gardens like yours so that others, who have no gardens, can look after them for you and produce food in them. If you are interested in this ...
Re Mr Mole; read this from today's Telegraph. experts have warned that the weather has brought another nightmare for proud horticulturalists: a plague of moles. An explosion in mole numbers threatens to turn thousands of lawns into mountain ranges overnight, uprooting prized flowers and burying manicured turf beneath unsightly mounds of soil. Soggy weather in late spring and ...
What about the Powderham Estate? They might be able to help or point you in the right direction.
Some questions come to mind. If the interest rates were higher, causing more people to default on their mortgages, where would all those people live who had lost their homes? For even if huge numbers of repossessions meant that property prices fell, those who had lost their homes would not be in a position to buy again would they? So where, and how, would they be re-housed? When you use ...
