Went for a walk though Happy Valley at Dusk last night and noticed that 11 of the 20 globe lights along the Colonnade from Grand Hotel to Happy Valley were either broken or missing. I have asked CCBC to fix them:

Now only 2 of the 20 globe lights were working this evening.  &shake&

The Friends of Happy Valley will be planting daffodil bulbs on Sunday from 12.30 pm.  Come along to the cafe area if you'd like to help - there are just two sack of "Tete - a - Tete" bulbs left to plant.

Wrex, prepare yourself for a disappointment.  One of the ponds in the cascade system leaks and as the water is recycled through the system the water runs away as the cascade is running.  This will have to repaired before the cascade can be operated.   :'(  The Friends of Happy Valley have noted how much you and others care about this and it's definitely on the list of things to be done but there's not going to be a quick answer to it.

The daffodils are beginning to make a show in Happy Valley:

The cascade - how much would repairs cost?

Daffs out in Happy Valley. It's a shame that this Listed Victorian Lamp has had the glass removed by CCBC and is slowly rusting away after being expensively restored back in 2000.  :(

Golly-- It looks dry. Hope saying that doesn't trigger a rainstorm.

Most men as they get older have a problem with their "waterfall".   A quick visit to your GP and some simple tests will probably get to the bottom of the problem!    Z**

I will put my pressure to bear and see if we can at least get the spout to deliver a little dribble!   ;)

Sorry for my ignorance, but exactly where is this water feature?

Yorkie the Waterfeature is slap in the middle of the gardens,it used to have a waterfall then the water would go down to another pool,the waterfall has;nt worked for years but the other part has worked now and again,we get excuse after excuse,from newts not to be disturded to waiting for the parts,CCBC just be honest and tell us all money has gone to the bay and we are skint.

I haven't seen any water in it for a while now - very disappointing.
