If I was a duck, I would be able to fly easily until Aberdeen as all other european wild ducks but I would have to wait spring. But only love give wings....!!!!

Skiving again Mark? I've just introduced the topic 'Reproduction' to a class of first years (11-12 year olds) and was asking them to tell me what the oldest living thing was. First answer was 'the Queen'! ::)

Interesting topic (and answer!) do you get to deal with the really interesting bits of reproductive theory as well? ;D

Just the facts David. We leave the theory for the playground, and my goodness there are some wild theories out there! :o

I suppose it's OK if they stick to the theory, it's the practice that causes the problems ;D

Its been cold here since Tuesday, frost not leaving the grass for three days, and forecast cold overnight again.  The dahlias have finally bitten the dust lol.  Guess I could have sown the seed I got and just put it outside instead of in the fridge.... but its supposed to be a bit warmer tomorrow with the winds finally coming from the south.  On the plus side, we did see the northern lights on Monday night coming back from an AGS meeting.
