Artificial grass.
There has been a plague-like trend for people to rip up their natural lawns to replace them with plastic grass. Turning outdoor spaces into extensions of their indoor spaces can, I guess, seem appealing. Please don't do it.
These green plastic carpets destroy the microcosm of life in your garden. It kills the bugs that break down material in the soil. It stops birds from feeding on those bugs. It creates a desert for pollinators. It kills our wildlife and, in addition, these fake lawns leach plastic and chemicals, including known carcinogens, into our soil. Not to mention the carbon emissions in the creation and transport of this hideous material. The leached chemicals and plastics will work their way into our watercourses and into our food chain.
We already have microplastics in our lungs, our blood, our brains and in the food that we eat. Let's not compound the problem. Nature is best.

When you have an active border collie that likes to run about and chase things you can’t also have a neat and tidy lawn. It soon turns to mud.
So we’ve decided to have artificial turf laid by professionals.
We’re suited with the work and end product; and also with the crew that worked so hard on it.
These are the before and after photos 😊

Walibi Holland
Walibi Holland (previously called Flevohof, Walibi Flevo, Six Flags Holland and Walibi World) is a theme park in Biddinghuizen, The Netherlands.
Attractions include the Speed of Sound, El Condor, Xpress, Goliath and Robin Hood roller coasters.
The adjacent associated event grounds has been the location of large music festivals.
In 1971, the park was opened under the name 'Flevohof'. It was an educational themepark themed after agriculture and farming. Having struggled to compete with more modern family attractions, Flevohof went bankrupt in 1993, and was subsequently purchased by the Walibi Group that autumn, who redeveloped the site as an amusement park. After a major winter-long programme of reconstruction the park reopened as Walibi Flevo on 7 May 1994, featuring the world's first Vekoma suspended looping coaster (SLC), El Condor. The park also adopted the wallaby mascot of its sister park, Walibi Wavre in Belgium. (The name 'Walibi', incidentally, is derived from the first two letters of three towns in Belgium put together to form a single word: Wavre - Limal - Bierges).
The Walibi parks, including Bellewaerde in Belgium, were purchased by Premier Parks Inc. in 1998, who subsequently overhauled the Flevo park, removing the 'Walibi' branding and building 30 new attractions as part of its transformation into Six Flags Holland in 2000. Six Flags's nominal expansion into Europe saw a similar refurbishment of the Belgian Walibi theme park, which was renamed to Six Flags Belgium. Both parks benefiting from the group's rights to use Warner Brothers characters within them, leading to the creation of a Looney Tunes-themed area and a powered-launch coaster themed around popular comic figure Superman, later changed to the Xpress.
In 2004, Six Flags Holland and its sister parks were purchased by financiers Palamon Capital Partners, who grouped the attractions under the name "StarParks". The park reverted to Walibi branding in 2005; numerous attractions having been rebranded as the sale of the parks also meant the loss of any references to Looney Tunes and DC Comics characters rights.
In the second half of 2006, the parks were sold for the second time in as many years to the French group Grévin & Cie (Compagnie des Alpes), most notably the operators of the French themed resort Parc Astérix, who also purchased two other Dutch attractions - the Dolfinarium Harderwijk and Avonturenpark Hellendoorn. In 2011 the park was renamed as Walibi Holland, which introduced new mascots.
The adjacent associated event grounds were originally developed with Scouting Nederland for the EuroJam 1994 and the 18th World Scout Jamboree in 1995. It is or has been the location of many festivals like the Lowlands music festival and the Defqon.1 music festival .

Zygocactus usually flower in June here in Sydney, so I was very surprised to find this flowering on my kitchen windowsill.

La Muralla is one of the jewels of the beaches of the coast of Cádiz. Small and with privileged views of the Bay of Cádiz, it is located between the cliff of the old castle of Santa Catalina, a 16th century fortress (former Batería del Palmar) and Puerto Sherry. Located next to the Vistahermosa urbanization, it is attached to the western breakwater of Puerto Sherry, on which are some restaurant terraces, ideal for enjoying a meal, a coffee or a drink
