For those of you who like 1960s pop groups from Liverpool here are John, Paul George and Ringo, also known as the Beagles.

Nice stroll around RHS Rosemoor this morning.

This is an oddball pic when you compare it to the fine quality images above.

The scene is set in 1920 and the TT races in the Isle of Man, the corner is called Quarter Bridge and named after the hotel/pub on the corner. A small boy sits on a bench and strains his neck to check that the Norton makes the corner ok.

80 years later, the bench is still there and a young Vacumatic sits in same spot and waits for riders and machines to come down the straight at breakneck speed in the hope that they can make the first tight corner on the circuit.

Glorious Male Bullfinch on my feeder. A rare sight in these parts. I only remember seeing one before in Leeds. He's now a regular visiter.

It was two years ago in the garden and first I've ever seen.

Perhaps we will have someone with some knowledge on wild flowers here for this one. We purchased a packet of wild plant seeds, planted them and now have this ready to burst in to bloom ?

Proper mechanic with brown overalls, flat cap and tough boots that can double up as a stool.
