The weather is clearly topsy turvy again. We're "soggen", as my son used to say, down south. No beer gardens for us!
However we did go to Sissinghurst Castle for lunch and a walk this afternoon. Both these "castles" are fortified farms rather than proper castles
Carpets of bluebells in the woods

Beautiful pictures! Thanks to you both for posting them. I love having a little peek into what other countries look like.

It's a "trig point"... Or triangulation point
They were originally installed all over the country at high points by surveyors from the Ordnance Survey (national map making agency) as markers and equipment supports to help them calculate map contouring and work out heights of mountains and hills. At lower altitudes you might find a benchmark that looks like the photo on a bridge or other structure unlikely to be demolished.
Surveyors for roads and the like still use them today as starting points when working out road slopes and things.
I only know all this because, aged about 14, a friend of my Dad's borrowed me to help survey a river valley in Yorkshire to work out if it was suitable for a canoe slalom course... and we started and ended at benchmarks. He was a bit cross that he was 1 metre (3 feet) out at the end... Which given we had walked about 5 miles I thought was amazing. Probably not good enough if you're building a bridge though

. (just a random dog) any requests?
high met with a low, a wee auld wuman fell and had a bust up face on way home . i did my bit, raided my bag and made a 'seat' to cushion her from the cold, sat and cuddled her while using my patter to keep her laughing... a lad fresh of the train from italy (i think) was doing the same, 40mins... no abulance!
we loaded her into a car, emotional day for me, but glad that i have seen humanity, not once but twice

paisley abby, 
Congratulations to Joe's sis!Daughter has a graduate job offer! And it's the one she wants too
It looks like she's moving to Southampton
Hope she'll be very happy in Southampton.
One of my nephews is there at the college for the next 10 weeks.
He is a 3rd Engineer in the merchant navy and is there to hopefully pass his next 'ticket' and become a 2nd.
(I think that's how it works).
Welcome back Jane.
How lovely!
My sister used to live in Greysouthen near Cockermouth and I used to love the area.
Happy birthday to your son too, hope his hangover isn't too bad!
Adam will be very jealous when he hears that.Sandi Toksvig as host and Alan Davies of course. The other panellists were comedians Sarah Millican and Cariad Lloyd and Radio 1's Alice Levine.
Unusual to have a mostly female panel but very funny.
He loves QI.
Just to complicate matters. She got another job offer today. The other interview last week! So she needs to decide between Hampshire and Oxfordshire
