Back from a little saunter into West Lothian. Christmas tree harvesting in full progress. I couldn’t help but thinking how ungreen the whole business is.

At first glance I thought it was a horse with a mane comb-over!

The parcel I'm waiting for is coming by Hermes, this guy wrote my car off I wonder if he can fall down the stairs twice

He just left it by the front door, didn't even ring the bell .....coward

G'day y'all... Happy birthday Dirk, enjoy your day!

Back from a long walk with Alan 🐶, beautiful day out there with some lovely autumn colours...

Green bin day tomorrow so lawns mowed this afternoon, only 2 more collections this year until February next year.

I keep saying I am going to sell them.

This is one he did a couple of years ago.

A little mouse sitting on an apple. It's only about 2 inches tall

I’m not able to remember all the details . I remember reading a Yorkshire carpenter carved a mouse as signature on his work which was usually on the end pieces of church pews.I can’t remember all the details.
Perhaps our Yorkshire members could provide more information

I've seen some of his work but I can't remember his name. He was part of the Arts and Crafts movement.

OK guys serious stuff. I think it was either @dave r or @Dirk who posted the story about the vicar whose house was sold without his knowledge and he has now lost it because it is legally registered with the Land Registry after being sold to someone else. Apparently Bedfordshire police have arrested someone on fraud charges.

Mrs P heard the story on the R4 "You and Yours" programme today. One can sign up for alerts from the Land Registry if there are any changes to title at the LR. There is a free service which simply sends an email alert or another service which for £40pa means nothing can be altered without one's express consent.

I've signed up for three properties this afternoon. Our allotment, garage and house are on three separate titles so have to be monitored individually. It's very simple. The only tricky bit was our address wasn't recognised in the property search, caused a mild panic till I saw the option to search by Title Number.

Here is the link if anyone is interested or concerned https://propertyalert.landregistry.gov.uk/

As an add on to the above apparently in a normal month about 4,000 people sign up for the alert service. This week on Monday and Tuesday 17,000 people signed up since the story broke!!!!

Bit of a shock this morning.......went to Aldi at 0750 but had to clear ice of the windscreen. Time to start putting the car in the garage me thinks.
Why does that catch me out every year.

Someone who put their car in a garage

how quaint

I had no idea you could do that. An excellent idea. Thanks

Very useful, thank you.

I was the same. I think it's a very good idea and for the ten minutes effort could save one £££££
