I like my Venus Fly Trap and it's been doing quite well this year.

It's part of the offensive against flies, along with an electronic killer and Binsect bin insecticide strips. But now, in an attempt to make it bigger and healthier, it has its own self-watering pot, made by Lechuza, with an indicator system to tell me when it needs refilling. From now on it's also rainwater only, which helps the Trap as it enjoys acidic conditions.

Always Carry a Camera

I make a point of always carrying a camera, just to capture anything and everything that catches my eye as we carry on with the minutiae of life. I was in Atherton and just heading for the shop that sells fuses and passed a small alleyway that used t...
