I really like Diggs’ sun trap, and Syl’s view seems so peaceful and serene 😎
Just think, without all the rain you guys get, England wouldn’t be so verdant.
We do moan about the rain, but the plus side is, as you say, a beautiful green and lush land.
I imagine you have a nice outside space Vam...can you post a pic?

Syl lives in a beautiful area and Digs has created a lovely place to enjoy the sun and grow veg and fruits. It does look truly lovely. Sadly I don't have a garden but am a stone's throw away from the sea which can be breathtaking especially in a storm. Thankyou both for showing the pics.

Ah…I’d like to, Syl, cos I think you’d enjoy seeing some pics. And whilst I have no problem at all with the regular posters here, I’m not tech savvy enough to guard against any random cyber nutjob who might be sniffing around.
I‘ll PM you & Diggs some, though!

It is a suntrap, it gets sun all day which is why I can grow lemons, limes and oranges. I've just harvested ten limes and they were so good made into a dressing.
Go you, with your green thumb! 👏🏻👏🏻
I did have an orange tree in a great big pot on my downstairs terrace, which managed to survive for a few years - despite my cackhanded ‘care’

To live near the sea was always a dream of mine, you are so blessed to have that on your doorstep.
We are all lucky in some way. W are in this country blessed with beautiful countryside, and if that's not an option, there are loads of parks and green spaces, even in the middle of cities.

No problem Vam. We always say, never post anything you are not comfortable with.

🙏🏼 Could some kind soul please tell me what I need to click on, when trying to post a photo?
(yeah, yeah, I know - I’m hopeless … 🤦🏻♀️😂)

You go to the three boxes below your post window. Tick Attach Image
Then click on choose image, this will bring you to your computer page whereever your photos are.
Then choose your image it will show up in the box under Source File Choose File.... Then click on insert image then post.

Thanks, Diggs 🙏🏼 I can see those options in the normal forum reply box. But the options don’t seem to be available in PM 🤷🏻♀️
No worries, though - I don’t want to drive anyone nuts. Just thought you & Syl would have liked to see my views (& my orange tree).. At least I’ve now figured out how to do YouTube clips, C&Ping links to articles, and how to do my avi. For me, that’s REAL progress!

Neither of you are. I can only post pics on a laptop, on tablets or phones...for me, nothing works.
I have an elusive 'clipboard' somewhere, filled with the most delightful pics, I have no idea how to access it.

Let's see how this one looks.🤷
I really have no idea how big it will be until I post it..
When you post a pic and it's massive, and sometimes it happens to me too, can't you right-click on it so it turns blue, then if you click on the corner and draw in, it reduces it.
Nice pic, does your granddaughter like a beer?

I think I tried that. I do that with pics on reports all of the time, but that's on a PC, with a photo imaging program tied to my appraisal software..
My granddaughter comes from a long line of beer drinkers..🍺
