Re: Lockdown pictures
Nice, a lot of your friends seem to have whippet/Greyhound dogs.There was a very 'posh' couple who used to come into the market some time ago, dressed to the nines. They had two dogs on very sparkly collars & leads. I said, 'I do love your Whippets, they are very friendly'. After asking if I could pet them & being told yes.
Then in a very 'posh', superior & disgusted voice the woman said to me, 'These are full pedigree Italian Greyhounds, not Whippets'. Chastised, I apologised & slipped back behind my table, suitably chastised.

Exactly the same but smallerYou should have known Tiffs if they had been whippets the bloke would have been wearing a flat cap !
Actually they are super popular now I’m not that keen myself they are ok but would not be my first choice .
Lots of people like lurchers too which are sort of cross between a whippet / greyhound and used to be the dog of choice with poachers !

My Daughter thought it extremely funny, as did our fellow stall holder neighbours. The couple walked off after that never to been seen again. I think they were on holiday, they certainly didn't buy anything.
I can't say I'm keen on any of the Greyhound type dogs. Give me a Spaniel, Lab, Collie or Retriever any time, even a Spoodle or those crosses, some are adorable.
Not that I would fork out for the outrageous prices they ask for the latter, which are essentially mongrels.
We had mongrels, they may have looked like a certain breed but none were & they were rescues.

Re: Lockdown pictures
A lockdown day in the garden- a cup of coffee and the camera.Quite surprising what turns up.
(Brachytron Pratense apparently)
Having moved house only a few months ago I have been wondering what plants will appear. This lovely Allium seems to attract bees.
