When my irrigation system comes on there is no pressure. What should I do?

Find the reticulation connection to the water mains. You will find a solenoid valve that has isolated the system from the mains. The valve has failed internally and is not opening fully. We recommend hiring an expert to replace it. If you have a bore, the pump or bore needs to be fixed by an expert.

What is better for a retaining wall, timber sleepers or blocks?

Treated timber is approved for in ground use and has a reasonable service life, however block retaining walls and concrete sleeper retaining walls are more durable having a greater life expectancy. This is based on suitable footings & good drainage. Both Blocks and concrete sleepers come in a wide range of colours, sizes and styles to create a more aesthetic landscape. Common styles of retainers walls to consider are timber sleep retaining walls, link wall or link block retaining walls and concrete sleeper walls

Should I pave or concrete?

While concrete certainly has its benefits, pavers give a more aesthetic finish to a landscape area. Pavers area available in range of colours, texture, styles and sizes. Larger format, 400mm and 500mm pavers have become increasingly popular with modern and contemporary landscape designs. Pavers are also commonly used for garden borders and edges for their straight line finish which is widely desired in modern landscape construction.

How do I maintain artificial grass?

Very little maintenance is required. Just sweep off any leaves or gently use a leaf blower. You can hose off any spills or pet messes. For pet solids, you just scoop up in the traditional way. You can hose or wipe down with cold water if required. To lift the fibres just use a broom to sweep in the opposite direction to your view point.

The Seven Pillars of Wisdom
53884036403_8d644ba8de_b

The Palatine
The Palatine is one of the seven hills on which Rome stands, the hill from which the history of the Eternal City began. According to a well-known legend, it was on the Palatine Hill that the she-wolf suckled the brothers Romulus and Remus, and then after a quarrel between the brothers, Remus was killed. The city of Rome began on the Palatine. Incidentally, modern archaeological finds, according to which the very first settlements of Rome appeared on the Palatine Hill, confirm the legend. The name Palatium is associated with the name of the goddess Pales, the guardian of cattle. Apparently, the Palatine Hill originally served as a pasture for cattle, and when the Italians developed their first religious ideas and the cult of the goddess Pales arose, the Palatine became the religious center of the shepherds who made sacrifices here. There were pagan "shrines" here - the sacred cave of the she-wolf with a spring and a fig tree, under which the basket with the twin babies was found, the altar of Pan, the house of Romulus, etc. Palatine is one of the seven hills on which Rome stands, the hill from which the history of the Eternal City began. During the times of the republic, the patricians lived on the Palatine, and the emperors did not ignore this place: Augustus had a house on the Palatine, the Flavii built a whole complex of magnificent buildings here - Domus Flavia. After the barbarian invasion, the Palatine turned into a scorched desert and until the beginning of the 17th century it was empty, the ruins of majestic palaces were overgrown with grass and ivy.

Tōdai-ji (東大寺, Todaiji temple, "Eastern Great Temple")
Though it was originally founded in the year 738 CE, Tōdai-ji was not opened until the year 752 CE. The temple has undergone several reconstructions since then, with the most significant reconstruction (that of the Great Buddha Hall) taking place in 1709. Its Great Buddha Hall houses the world's largest bronze statue of the Buddha Vairocana, known in Japanese as Daibutsu (大仏). The temple also serves as the Japanese headquarters of the Kegon school of Buddhism. The temple is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara", together with seven other sites including temples, shrines and places in the city of Nara.

Two hundred and seven
And so the poor weather of the summer continues. Gloomy and humid when we woke up, soon to be followed by showers, which merged later on into longer periods of rain. At least the garden will look lush. But at the same times, slugs and snails love it. I plod ever onwards in getting my reports done and up to date, easier when its raining outside and no distractions, other than the total sum of mankind's knowledge on t-internet. There was some leftover pastry from dinner on Wednesday, so I asked the internet what I could make: cheese straws was the answer. So I cut it into two smaller strips, coat on with seeds and the other with grated cheese, push together, cut in half and bake. Yummy. The day drags on, I get more done, but still have things to do. There's always tomorrow. Dinner is chorizo hash and beer. Cold, bitter, flavoursome beer. The evening is half over by the time we wash up and have coffee, so read a little then eyes closed as the cool night might mean an actual decent night's sleep. Here's hoping

Tokyo Skytree Tower, Sumida City, Tokyo, Japan
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Skytree: Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー, Tōkyō Sukaitsurī) is a broadcasting and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo. It became the tallest tower in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634 meters (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower, and the third tallest structure in the world after Merdeka 118 (678.9 m or 2,227 ft) and the Burj Khalifa (829.8 m or 2,722 ft). It is the tallest freestanding tower in the OECD, the G20 and G7 countries. The tower is the primary television and radio broadcast site for the Kantō region; the older Tokyo Tower no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is surrounded by high-rise buildings. Skytree was completed on Leap Day, 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to the public on 22 May 2012. The tower is the centrepiece of a large commercial development funded by Tobu Railway (which owns the complex) and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK. Trains stop at the adjacent Tokyo Skytree Station and nearby Oshiage Station. The complex is seven kilometres (4.3 miles) northeast of Tokyo Station. Sumida Aquarium is in the Tokyo Solamachi complex. Design The tower's design was published on 24 November 2006, based on the following three concepts: Fusion of neofuturistic design and the traditional beauty of Japan Catalyst for revitalization of the city Contribution to disaster prevention – "Safety and Security" The base of the tower has a structure similar to a tripod; from a height of about 350 m (1,150 ft) and above, the tower's structure is cylindrical to offer panoramic views of the river and the city. There are observatories at 350 m (1,150 ft), with a capacity of up to 2,000 people, and 450 m (1,480 ft), with a capacity of 900 people. The upper observatory features a spiral, glass-covered skywalk in which visitors ascend the last 5 metres to the highest point at the upper platform. A section of glass flooring gives visitors a direct downward view of the streets below.

Point of Aire Lighthouse at Talacre - ground lo res
I couldn't resist adding a couple more images of the stunning Point of Aire Lighthouse at Talacre, on the north Wales coast. It has an interesting history. It was built in 1776 by a trust of the Major, Recorder and Aldermen of Chester, to warn ships entering between the River Dee & River Mersey estuaries. later, it was replaced by a pile light, and was decommissioned in 1844. It's now a privately owned property. It was listed for sale in November 2011 by the then owner, James McAllister, along with two acres of land, for £100,000. It was eventually sold in April 2012 for £90,000 to a private couple, who continue to own the property. In August 2009, the BBC reported that planning permission had been sought to erect a "human sculpture" inspired by the reported ghostly sightings on the lighthouse balcony. Local artist Angela Smith was contracted to design a seven foot stainless steel ‘lighthouse keeper’, with the initial planning permission being granted for a three-year period. Permission was not sought to retain the structure after this point and the sculpture was relocated. In March 2007, the lighthouse was damaged by storms which resulted in the metal steps leading to the building becoming dislocated and also resulted structural damage with a hole being created in the base. The cost of repairs was covered by the owners of a local caravan park who were involved in the ownership of the lighthouse at the time. The lighthouse featured in the background in a 2011 TV advertisement by paint manufacturer Dulux. The advertisement was designed to mark the 50th anniversary of the first appearance of their Old English Sheepdog mascot. (Source: Wikipedia)

Schwarzmilan
Der Schwarzmilan oder Schwarze Milan (Milvus migrans) ist ein etwa mäusebussard-großer Greifvogel aus der Familie der Habichtartigen (Accipitridae). Im Gegensatz zum nahe verwandten Rotmilan (Milvus milvus), dessen Brutgebiet sich im Wesentlichen auf Europa beschränkt, hat der Schwarzmilan ein riesiges Verbreitungsgebiet, das neben großen Teilen der Paläarktis weite Bereiche des indomalaiischen Faunengebietes sowie Australasien einschließt. Entsprechend dieser weiträumigen Verbreitung werden bis zu zwölf Unterarten beschrieben, von denen sieben als allgemein anerkannt gelten. Unklar ist die Stellung der beiden gelbschnabeligen, in Afrika beheimateten Milane Milvus migrans aegyptius und Milvus migrans parasitus; sie werden sowohl als eigenständige Art Milvus aegyptius (mit der Unterart Milvus aegyptius parasitus) als auch weiter als Unterart von Milvus migrans geführt. Obwohl der Schwarzmilan auch in ausgesprochen trockenen Gebieten vorkommt, bevorzugt er meist feuchtere Gebiete oder sucht die Nähe von Wasserflächen. Er ist ein Nahrungsgeneralist, dessen Nahrungsspektrum äußerst breit ist und neben Aas und Abfällen eine Vielfalt eher kleiner Tiere umfasst, die er selbst erbeutet. Die Art zählt zu den am weitesten verbreiteten Greifvögeln und ist gebietsweise die häufigste Greifvogelart. Obwohl regional Bestandsrückgänge zu verzeichnen sind, wird die weltweite Bestandssituation von IUCN als nicht gefährdet (Least Concern) eingestuft. The black kite or black kite (Milvus migrans) is a bird of prey from the hawk family (Accipitridae) that is about the size of a buzzard. In contrast to the closely related red kite (Milvus milvus), whose breeding range is essentially limited to Europe, the black kite has a huge distribution area that includes large parts of the Palearctic, large areas of the Indomalayan fauna and Australasia. In accordance with this wide-ranging distribution, up to twelve subspecies are described, seven of which are generally recognized. The status of the two yellow-billed kites Milvus migrans aegyptius and Milvus migrans parasitus, which are native to Africa, is unclear; they are listed both as an independent species Milvus aegyptius (with the subspecies Milvus aegyptius parasitus) and as a subspecies of Milvus migrans. Although the black kite can also be found in very dry areas, it usually prefers wetter areas or prefers to live near water. It is a generalist feeder with an extremely wide range of food, including carrion and waste as well as a variety of rather small animals that it preys on itself. The species is one of the most widespread birds of prey and is the most common raptor species in some areas. Although regional population declines have been recorded, the global population situation is classified by the IUCN as not endangered (Least Concern).

The Lost Village of Dode, Kent
A couple of years ago, a picture of an ivy-covered Norman two cell church appeared in the GWUK group. Nice, I thought. So, imagine my surprise to find it was in Kent. This was Dode, a little known place, whose village was erased during the Black Death, and the church is all that remains. Good news is that the owner has started to have open days, or afternoons, and the last one this year was on Sunday. I decided we should go. After breakfast and coffee, we left before nine as we had chores to run in Folkestone, but then had two hours to kill. I won't lie, this year has been a nightmare as far as my health is concerned, but am now feeling better, so thought I could handle a visit to The Larches near Detling. We drove up the M20. Again, turning off and going up the hill, parking on Pilgrim's Way, grabbing the camera and setting off. It is a large clearing surrounded by woods, all a reserve, but in the cleared area, sometime hundreds of Broad Leaved Helleborines spikes can be found. And good news is that this is a bumper year. Spikes of all sizes, shapes, spike density and colours seen and photographed. We walked up the glad to the two large trees, and the multitude of orchid spikes that grow around them. I have snapped so many of them over the years, I take maybe a hundred, one fifty or so shots this time, but I could have snapped every one. Back to the car where we still had an hour to kill, but just up the hill is a diner, so we drive up and find they were serving from a cabin with picnic tables out in the now overcast skies. So we order breakfasts, and admire the stream of shing Harleys that were being rode in mostly by men of a certain age. They seemed happy with their lot, parking up and getting cups of strong tea. Back then onto the road, where at Stockbury the new junction is just about complete, meaning we turn onto the London-bound carriageway without having to stop at three sets of traffic lights, now the A249 has a flyover of its own. We followed the sat nav to Cobham, but found our way was blocked by roadworks, and driving round meant the sat nav took us back to the same place. Finally we see the diversion signs, follow those back to the A2 down to the junction at Cuxton, then up the hill. Dode has been "lost" for so long as a place where people lived, that the dedication of the church is lost in the mists of time. Dode died as a village in the Plague of the 14th century, the church itself fell into ruin, and by the time our old friend, Hasted, came along, it didn't get a mention. Today, it is a place of celebration, non-religious, with celebrants to help people through some of the happiest and saddest days of their lives. Today, Dode is set among the narrow lanes north of the Medway. My friend in New Zealand says they call narrow lanes as six-foot sixers, well, these lanes are narrower than that, and for the last two miles, along a dead end lane, where stones and mud swept down from the downs above cover the road and doubt the traveller they are on the right road. At the end, is Dode, or TheLost Village of Dode as it is now called. A church, some stones and a space for celebration. Dode has three open days a year, and today was the last of 2024. You can hire Dode out, for celebration or for remembrance. It is carpeted with straw, lit with dozens of candles. It seems ancient, and certainly parts are, but a lot is something of a modern construct. But it works. I was made welcome, as were all visitors, with no expectation of payment, just friendship, the sharing of knowledge and warmth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dode (in Old English, Dowde) was a village in England that was wiped out by the Black Death in 1349. All that remains is the deconsecrated church, which was rebuilt in the 1990s. Archaeological evidence shows habitation in the Dode area during the time of the Roman Empire.[1] The church at Dode was built during the reign of William II of England at some point between 1087 and 1100.[2] It was built on a man-made mound. The nearby hill is known as "Holly Hill" which is a corruption of "Holy Hill", and the lane which leads to the village is "Wrangling Lane", showing that the mound could be the site of a meeting place.[3] The church stands at the end of a 10-mile long easterly running ley line connecting three pre-reformation churches, two Roman sites, a Bronze Age burial ground, and two of the Medway megaliths - the Coffin Stone and Kit's Coty House.[2] The village of Dode was virtually wiped out by the Black Death during the 14th century, and its church last used as a place of worship in 1367, then deconsecrated[3] on the orders of Thomas Trilleck, the Bishop of Rochester.[1][4] It was originally twinned with another Early Norman church in Paddlesworth (now in Snodland).[5] Stones from the church were used to build a Medieval church nearby. According to local legend, the last survivor of the Black Death at Dode was a seven-year-old girl known as the Dodechild. It is said she took refuge in the church after all the other villagers were dead, and died within its walls. The Dodechild is supposed to haunt the churchyard, having first appeared on a Sunday morning each month for several years, and then every seven years. Following the Black Death, the village was abandoned, and the church stood empty for centuries. In 1901 it was purchased by an antiquarian, George Matthews Arnold, Mayor of Gravesend.[6] He restored the walls and roof of the church and in 1954 the Arnold family returned the building to the Catholic Church.[7] It was rededicated as the Church of Our Lady of the Meadows and mass was celebrated there at least once a year.[7] Eventually the building deteriorated again and was vandalised.[8] In 1990 Doug Chapman, a chartered surveyor who had worked at Canterbury Cathedral, purchased the church and began restoring the building,[8] originally with the intention of turning it into a weekend home.[1] Since 1999 it has been licensed as a civil wedding venue.[2] The wedding venue hit the British press in December 2009 because of the snowfall which occurred across the country. A bride-to-be called BBC Radio Kent for assistance when she realised that the transport arranged for her wedding would not be able to travel down the narrow lane to Dode. A number of volunteers stepped forward, providing enough four-wheel drive cars to transport the wedding party and their guests both to the venue at Dode, and then afterwards to the Leather Bottle pub in Cobham. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dode,_Kent
