It is in Lincolnshire, Woodhall Spa to be specific, 10 minutes from my house.

Really ????
Nothing, absolutely nothing to suggest that.
Fortunately I wasn't well enough to go back today.... ....I will check that out.

It's very likely. I had the same thing years ago......

Sometimes I detest the garden and the tyranny of keeping it more or mostly less tidy. However when this season comes round there is some satisfaction in digging up enough tatties to do me for a couple of weeks from just 2 shaws and the savoys are coming along nicely. Beans are all picked and mostly frozen. Purple sprouting broccoli won't be ready for a while yet but handy in the lean season and gives me an excuse not to rotovate.
Spent the afternoon fighting with a Topeak bar extension to hold my new camera on the front of the trike. This one was removed from somewhere else and I cannot get it to tighten on a different diameter bar. Useless bit of junk.

Is "shaws" a typo for rows or a new word for me?

Enjoyed a wonderful walk on Ilkley Moor today. Dry, still and sunny all day. Parked at the Cow and Calf car park and did a 6.7 mile circular taking in two Stanza Stones. Superb views across Yorkshire. Between Lancashire and Yorkshire we share much of England's most beautiful countryside.

Stanza Stones are a collection of six natural stones across Yorkshire with poems by Simon Armitage carved on them.

We saw the Puddle Stone and Beck Stone today.

No we weren't close enough to see this one. The Stanza Stones are modern but the Swastika Stone is, I think, Bronze Age.

I did clean my boots but sneaked a little of the magic earth home for my allotment. 😄

Run "management training course's" up on that moor. There's a "soft spot" not far from the Cow & Calf in which you can get stuck, very easily.

This cinema thread is getting a bit racy. What with Dave7 in the back row with his hand up some lasses jumper, and Screenman with his Organ popping up 😯

Wasn't "some lass".......was my future wife

You’ve never heard of tattie shaws? Must just be up here. What do you call the above ground bit?

Well, I know it's fall now. In the fall these mantises come out and stand on the bike path challenging you to do battle. Here's the first one I've seen this year.

That's very odd... I had never heard of that until a couple of days ago when I spotted it on my digital OS map when planning a bike route!

I hopped straight into one of them a couple of years ago when up there for a little bike race...
