  1. At the left end of Buttermere Rd there's a tree up on the bank. The apples are quite sweet.
  2. My guess is they've run out of money with the work half done. Shame the pub had to go for this.
  3. I need to find a home for a sapling Salix caprea pendula Kilmarnock, a weeping pussy willow tree. It's around 5' tall. This is what it should look like in springhttps://www.dobbies.com/products/plants/ornamental-trees/salix-caprea-kilmarnock/ . It's free to pick up from S7.
  4. I haven't seen my cat since last night. He's gone walkabout before but I can't help worrying. He's a large handsome black cat with faint stripes. He's actually a black smoke with a white undercoat. We live on Buttermere Road, by the junction of Abbeydale Road and Woodseats road. Any information appreciated. Thanks. ---------- Post added 11-11-2015 at 16:03 ---------- Little sod just turned up
  5. I was blown off my feet earlier today. No damage thankfully. I was going down a steepish street with a laden shopping trolley when the wind actually lifted the trolley, pulling me off balance, then it pushed me over and into a wall. I don't know how I survived without damage apart from some scrapes and bruises. I am extremely grateful to the nice young woman who came along and helped me pick myself and my things up.
  6. I haven't seen my cat since last night -- Sunday. He's probably just on a walkabout but I can't help feeling a bit anxious. He is a large male who looks black. He is, in fact a black smoke, with a light grey undercoat and faint ginger tabby markings in sunlight. Hopefully he will come back but any sightings, including bad news ones would be appreciated. ---------- Post added 17-03-2014 at 15:40 ---------- And he's back. Silly creature, silly me.
  7. Coat or Coa' with a glottal stop cos I'm from glo''al stop land.
  8. He does smoke. A teenage friend of mine said that she and her mates give him their cigarettes if the bus comes before they finish them.
  9. Sheffield Venetian Blind co, it's opposite the co op garage at 241 Chesterfield Rd. Not only do they do vertical blinds but they do a nice deal if you are getting three blinds done.
  10. I'm not sure what time they started last (Saturday) night but the noise stopped around 4 am -- so I'm thankful for that. Demolishing the whole bridge? Oh that's going to be horrible...
  11. What do I want? For the work to be done during the day of course! Of course I realise I want doesn't get as the need to keep the traffic flowing trumps my need for a peaceful night. Bus man -- no replacement bus stop -on the upside- say it's not so! It's a long way from opposite Carterknowle Rd to the far side of the bridge. Still if they at least put the downside back in it's not so far to get home with shopping from Woodseats Tescos. Earplugs? I can't be doing wiht those, too paranoid I'd not hear summat important like smoke alarms or burglars.
  12. Am I the only one? I've been waiting for them to fix the bridge and reinstate the bus stops for five years but damn is it a pain in the arse?!
  13. Chesterfield market is great for plants, good variety, decent prices, but be careful of the guy opposite the precinct. He assured me a palnt I wanted to buy was hardy. Got it home, looked it up and it can't take temperatures below 50F/10C -- that's barely going to survive a Sheffield summer, let alone winter, sigh.
  14. I went to the June one last year and there were some very good plant stalls. I have to go back -- all that snow we had killed the lovely alstromeria I bought and I want to get another one.
