Word for the week

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

So many people are lunting these days.
It used to be an activity by old gentlemen out strolling.
Nowadays it is the teenagers who have taken up lunting.
Lunting is a verb meaning to walk around while smoking a pipe.
Lunting is what pipe smokers do as a means of stress relief or to relax.
Additional meanings for lunting are emitting smoke or steam from a pipe and lighting a fire, torch or tobacco pipe.
Nowadays instead of walking I see more young people in their cars, with their windows down, LUNTING.
cheers all.

Flowers for free ????

Alastair & Barbara from Harewood

Very disappointed that our front garden had a 14 bud Christmas Regal Lilly cut and taken with several others last night, but what it lead others to do was worse damage. They ripped out other flowers and some may not recover. Do not come back tonight, as we are cutting all of them today.
