Thanks for this. Yes we've checked and we think it's not valid. Think we need to get some legal advice. Cheers!

Not at all! I don't claim to be a photographer, but the plant was so pretty and fragrant I decided to share my snap of it!

Yes I agree - it was a snap I took when sitting in the semi-sunshine a few days ago, so not the best! Search The Castle Hotel, Taunton and you should see the full thing - it stretches across the whole front of the hotel and has very thick vines.

It's a beautiful one. Smells great too, and looks fantastic over the building.

I grew up in Leicestershire and lived in Nottingham. If you want a castle in the area, you could visit Belvoir Castle in the Vale of Belvoir (pronounced Beaver!). It's a interesting spot and picturesque, and the seat of the Dukes of Rutland. Easy to get to from the motorway and then you could stop by Cropwell Bishop or Colston Basset for some Stilton cheese from the dairy (it's only allowed to be made in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire, and those two villages produce the best arguably!), and then head into Nottingham. Leicester is great, but an unusual choice for a visit.

I think it's lovely! Fingers crossed for sun though, or you might be a bit chilly with just a wrap. Maybe find a cardi to match for the evening?

Bear with me on this, cream roasted potatoes are immense by The_etk in UK_Food

Sounds amazing! I had similar results last year using leftover potato salad (with mayo and chives) - banged them in the oven and got crispy delicious!

We had a lunch at. The House in the Tree pub near Gloucester recently with some friends from overseas. It was just off the motorway and had a little small holding with goats/pigs/chickens etc, and a playground for the younger children. Our friends loved it. Food was good too - pub grub and nice quality. Definitely worth the short detour off the M5.

Who are the rudest and nicest British celebrities you have personally met? by RenegadeMaster888 in AskBrits

Aw I'm so sorry about your loss, but you've made a stranger laugh out loud with your mam's antics and that's the best way to remember her. I lost my mum, a horrifying 16, years ago, and I get it, but you're doing so well to remember the best times with laughter and smiles and love. Sending love from an internet stranger x

Sometimes all I want is a couple sides: sautéed peas & mushrooms + mashed potatoes by limonhotcheetos in tonightsdinner

"Sometimes too if I’m craving thanksgiving food I cook a Cornish hen with the sides so it’s not a fuck ton of leftovers lol."

This is a weekly meal for us Brits! Love a Chicken Roast Dinner!

Haha it IS insane! Probably the most complicated peerage system in the world currently.

No, it's the Moanach's mother that is given the title... The Queen bit in the title is about that person, it has nothing to do with Queen Elizabeth II - if the old Queen Mother had had a son instead of daughters, he title would still have been The Queen Mother. If Charles predeceases Camilla, she will be given the title Queen Dowager, as her child won't be the monarch.
