Hi Matt , it's crown green for me, I find lane bowling a bit boring.I do play in an indoor league in the winter but that is just to keep me occupied during the winter. My wife also considers herself to be a bowling widow,even though she bowls for a ladies team once a week.

Thanks Bernie, now able to see the beautiful gardens of cottage, whole village is like a time capsule, so splendid, many skills still in operation, such as the local Blacksmith, all so very quaint :D
Best of luck with the bowling Bernie, and to the other champs, Matts Sheila, and Bill :wink:

Not sure if I'm ready for enlarging process yet Bern, (very ambitious) but will follow instructions, lets see what happens :lol:

Just off to dentist, not the treatment I fear, just the cost :roll:

:shock: dentist in India, looks to be tearing the head off patient :evil:
Bit like Baker in the fifties/sixties,
Many people lived the experience, as they attempted to stagger up Great Mersey St :cry:

Patricia, red open top buses used by tourists back and forth to Anfield, often see the bright buses in and around the city :D

Ducks and more ducks tucking into lunch, thanks Graham :D

Graham, thanks for enlightening me, not heard of this charity before, sounds like they're doing a great job :)
Our nine year old grandson is interested in all manner of wildlife..nothing he doesn't know about birds of prey..has a good knowledge of them and their habitat..also a lover of wildlife, try's to teach me about them, but no sooner has he got through it all when I've forgotten :roll:

Great pictures of the tattoo Eddy, an experience not to be missed :)

Eddy did you meet our #1 daughter Sarah at the tattoo? :)
She sent me just about the same photo ,same angle and subject(Royal Navy)
You and her husband Jason could not have been more than a few rows of seating apart.
She would have been the one cheering very loudly when the RN marched on :lol: :lol:

Shelagh your grandson would love it where we live.1 mile up the road is the Pacific Raptor Centre
They fly eagles ,falcons,hawks,owls and even one Turkey Vulture and even give a course on Falconry
and most weekends if "She who must be obeyed" is lawn bowling I am there.

Matt, you must feel very fortunate living so close to the Raptors - close enough to walk to :)

Patricia, Can see why they call it Rainbow Row, pretty pastel colours of the buildings :)

Graham, Bar Headed Goose - matching boots and beak :wink: very on trend :D

Graham - 30,000ft hope sincerely that they know the flight
paths of aeroplanes - that is scary!!

Spot on, Matt, I was approx 50 miles off course - trouble
is, I'm always in too much of a hurry, need to slow down!!! :D
