Why burying leftover lemons in your garden soil is a brilliant idea this spring
If you've been wondering how to use leftover lemons in the kitchen, don't throw them out. Gardening experts say there are three big benefits to sticking them in the soil instead
I have used Lemons near our bird feeders as they are supposed to deter cats from coming near the Lemons, if I see it failing then I revert to Plan B and that is to let my dog loose in the garden.     That soon does the trick

                                                Everton 1   Arsenal  1

It was a good result for Everton against a strong Arsenal side  but Arsenal's faint Premier League title hopes suffered a potentially fatal blow as they were held to a draw at Everton.

The result means leaders Liverpool require only 11 points from their remaining eight games - starting with Fulham on Sunday - to guarantee themselves the title.

I wonder where they will dump the sand from the Promenade and the boating lake?       Surely they won't dump it on the beach  above the high tide mark?

Local News & Discussion / Re: West Shore Issues....Sand cleared from West Shore promenade and boating lake

YEARLY MAINTENANCE of Llandudno's West Shore promenade and boating lake has taken place.

Contractors have cleared the sand from the promenade and boating lake.

The boating lake was drained and left empty last year so maintenance work could take place.

The lake was not refilled over the winter in order to mitigate risks to the public should the lake have frozen over.

Conwy County Borough Council had aimed to refill the boating lake in mid-April, and said this will be done with natural water flow from the Great Orme.

April has brought dazzling sunshine and clear blue skies across much of the country. Plus, now the clocks have changed, there's noticeably more daylight which increases with each passing day.

While it's still a bit nippy, spring is in full swing and there's lots to see and do outside. Pots and borders are awash with daffs, tulips are coming into bloom, forsythia is bringing a vibrant splash of colour and elegant magnolia flowers are unfurling.

"As we come into April, our gardens are showing visible signs of new life and fresh growth," says gardening expert, Jamie Shipley, from Hedges Direct. "The arrival of milder temperatures and sunny spells can also bring April showers, setting the perfect conditions to nurture outdoor spaces."............ cont https://www.inyourarea.co.uk/news/springs-here-and-9-jobs-need-tackling-in-the-garden?IYA-reg=49560bcd-5a9c-47f0-8fc5-ba2e71710589

I would like to nominate the owner of this cafe by the Paddling Pool in Craig Y Don for the Optimist of the week award

The poor guy has been shafted in all directions  by everyone.      The Great Sea Wall of Llandudno looks a long way from being finished, it could be this season or maybe next, who knows!
The Paddling Pool is dry presumable the anti slip bottom has been completed in rediness for it to be filled up with water again.        I hope that blue paint on the side of the pool doesn't mean that the children will be coming out of the water in a Smurf blue colour like they did before
With the 50p charge for the loo the water in the Paddling Pool may turn a mellow yellow by the end of the season
