Enlgand is going nuts over losing nuts. <BR/><BR/>Oh NUTS! <BR/><BR/>Perhaps, this is just a temporary blight, and you'll see a resurgence in tree health in the coming years. We have cyclical things all the time that endanger plant and animal life. Then it passes.elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1156492082038691912006-08-25T08:48:00.000+01:002006-08-25T08:48:00.000+01:00I'm not sure it is taken for granted Ren but it ma...I'm not sure it is taken for granted Ren but it may not be preventable. We've seen similar before with Dutch Elm Disease.<BR/><BR/>I really do hope it is not as serious as feared Fraser. I think compulsory conkers would make for a happier nation! <BR/><BR/>I am touched by your kind words Fraser. As blogs go it is still in its infancy and I just write about what interests me, catches my eye or gets my goat! I really do like your blog too. I love your photos.<BR/><BR/><BR/>There will be more history coming. I have a number of works in progress littering my hard drive about the IRA/Nazi connections,and on Bomber Command. I have not even started on the "English" Civil War yet...<BR/><BR/>There will be more photography perhaps (not that I pretend to be much good!) I plan to get a digital SLR at long last. My Coolpix 4300 has served me very well but I need more capability to take some of the photos I want to take.jams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1156480923484196732006-08-25T05:42:00.000+01:002006-08-25T05:42:00.000+01:00It sounds like a loss of something, taken for gran...It sounds like a loss of something, taken for granted.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1156470325430159232006-08-25T02:45:00.000+01:002006-08-25T02:45:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392964778531505772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1156470180477282412006-08-25T02:43:00.000+01:002006-08-25T02:43:00.000+01:00So many happy hours I spent playing conkers with m...So many happy hours I spent playing conkers with my friends as a lad. It is sad that the trees are being hit. Thanks for the info, Jams. Such an informative site. Always a pleasure for the eye and the mind.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate the military history -- had one uncle who fought in the Great War and my Dad was in the second and my borther in 'Nam. I am a pacifist and care for all three men deeply.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392964778531505772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1156455475076103992006-08-24T22:37:00.000+01:002006-08-24T22:37:00.000+01:00woo woo, I really hope this is not as serious as f...woo woo, I really hope this is not as serious as feared..
