Growing Seeds From Italy
Yes, I'd love to try Seeds from Italy. I always bring some home after every trip, even to the extent of taking the seeds from a favourite fresh tomato and drying them in a tissue. Do they supply the UK would you know? Your garden is certainly ...

Switch Plates - Lighthouses and Coastlines
Whether it is walking along a beach or a cliff top I love the experience. When we visit our daughter and her husband, who live near the sea on the Isle of Anglesey, we often go for a coastal walk along the Menai Straits, the fast flowing ...

Oh, Frank - your coastal walks sound lovely. My type of coastal walking is on flatter terrain than that which you usually experience. I like to shed my sandals, and slosh along in the edge of the water. That's my favorite... it's all about ...

Growing Seeds From Italy
These look lovely! I don't have much time to fight the wildlife (animals, birds and insects) so I have limited my garden to tomatoes. I usually buy little plants and they do rather well. But maybe one year I'll try seeds.

Walking on the Lleyn
I would love to retire there as well. As long as I have a bit of land to cultivate and beautiful scenery to walk in, I will be content.

Switch Plates - Lighthouses and Coastlines
The South West tip of Portugal at Cape St Vincent is worth a visit. There is a light there, but the coastline north of it is some of the toughest walking country that I have encountered: barren karst with some sandy spots. I managed to walk ...
