Today I could take being housebound no longer. So, I went to Oakland Lake Park to walk around Fosdic Lake. A lot of people seemed to ...

  Living with rats — Authority: 118
  A few years ago it was decided to knock down a lot of council houses in north Sheffield. There were too many of the same kind of homes, they were difficult to let, and they were blighting the area.

  Ben Cruachan - natural history — Authority: 106
  Sometimes variation simply takes the form of a superior specimen, just the thing that horticulturalists are always on the lookout for.

• Variation in the species.

  
  Ben Cruachan - natural history — Authority: 106
  I guess that while the main focus of a plant man is adding new species to his tick list, another equally interesting sideline is finding flowering plants that exhibit significant variation in flower colour, or structure, eg double forms. This facet always reminds me of Bill , who was always on the lookout for unusual ...
