Jack Black goes back to basics in Year One
Before you consider going to see 'Year One', a new comedy from director Harold Ramis set in biblical times, you first have to ask yourself a simple question.

July in the garden
June in the garden was a terrific month for colour from shrubs to your summer bedding plants, although as I was writing the long awaited rainfall had arrived, let's hope it remembers to go away again.

Everyone with perennial flower beds will find them in full bloom...>>> more
