Air ambulance also landed at Wolstanton by M&S but again no further information from Stoke on Trent Live.

If you are interested in the work of your local air ambulance have a look at

 

midlandsairambulance.com

 

It’s a great service.

Good morning, up after only 4 hrs 24 mins sleep. It looks dry outside but I haven't ventured out yet.   The forecast is for dry sunny spells but only getting up to 11°c.

A busy morning is on the horizon after taking the grumpy one to school,

Have a good day.

Stoke is in the process of fundraising for our very own Stoke Air Ambulance, its going to be Wedgewood Blue and they are going to call it Jasper (after Wedgewood Jasperware). You would think that there would be some sort of funding for air ambulance and not have to rely on public donations. They need to raise 2.5 million pounds a year and that's just for Stoke, what about all of the others?

We have a couple of Air Ambulance charity shops in Leicestershire - the staff there say they don’t want Government money as that would give them the right to interfere.

Never thought about that.

I was awake early this morning, so I thought I would watch the England v Pakistan Test Match, with 5 wickets down at lunch, the use of industrial fans, patio heaters and rakes to rig the pitch in favour of the home team seems to be working.

Good morning.

It is 9°C and grey skies.

Our close is full of leaves.

Nothing planned yet for today.

I hope everyone is feeling well and looking forward to today.

Morning 😀

Going up the garden to feed the birds .I noticed on the grass a toad stool fairy ring

has sprung up with a few other variety's of fungi.

I did read once that this is a sign of healthy soil/grass  and all is well with nature .

 

Hope all is well or as can be expected for some of our posters-Take Care🙂

[purplesea]

Good Morning,

 

Hope you are all well, or on the mend for those that aren't.

 

A partly cloudy sky and temps still above normal for this time of year, 14c at present but expected to reach 17c. We've had quite a few sunny days where it's felt a lot warmer than forecast too.

 

Son has asked me to make an apple cake for him to take to work tomorrow, so that is on today's agenda, but nothing much else.

 

Enjoy your day.

I usually kick the mushrooms or mow the area to stop the spores spreading as if allowed to spread it can stop the turf absorbing water. 
 

Had a couple in my old 40 year old lawn and were very noticeable dry patches in the summer. When I replaced the lawn 2 years ago gardeners removed the soil beneath the patches before laying new lawn, not had a problem since. 🤞

We are not keen gardeners,our lawn is better described as well mown grass

for most of the year .

Like to let nature do what it wants over winter. Come spring onwards the kids 

play on it making daisy chains and buttercups.

The fungi will disappear on their own as they have for the last 50 years we have

been here.

My mate told me two of his ex's died of mushroom poisoning and his 

last Mrs of a fractured skull.

Apparently he hit her with a frying pan when she refused to eat some mushrooms

he had cooked for her breakfast 🙃

A lovely man. R.I.P
