Interested in cacti and succulents? The BCSS.org.uk have over 60 branches in the UK. Here’s the one near Hastings, meetings are FREE and nonmembers are welcome!

Recently acquired my grandfather’s WW1 medals, Pip, Squeak and Wilfred. He served in the 7th Lancers, survived the war with just a cut hand from a can of bully beef.

I want one of these, ideally this size 😁

Conophytums, tricky succulents, need careful watering

Lots of cacti in the UK’s last remaining nursery

Another one bites the dust. Lost a couple of our crack willows this year, coming to the end of their lives

Bit of a plug for the British Cactus & Succulent Society, many cacti and succulents make good houseplants on a sunny, south-facing windowsill. My own branch (there are over 60 nationwide) meets just outside Hastings. BCSS.org.uk

Albino squirrel has been in the garden for months, a lovely sight.
