Do you think those stones were made during the tidy up to replace ones that had fallen into disrepair?

I would guess so, they're all so uniform |

where exactly is that acid? I have vague memories of having been there sometime after a night on the juice but can't place it. looks to be some way from the Parkinson building judging by the first pic.

Yes its directly behind the Parkinson building, about 300 yards. If you google maps Leeds University you can see it well hidden.

While out walking today I saw these wild flowers on the edge of a wood. They seem identical except for the colour, but they grew in separate stands, either all white or all pink.
You would expect to see a mixed bunch. I wonder why they were segregated?

Those are 'foxglove'. They grow all over the place here and the locals consider them weeds. I used to add them to my flower vase every summer until I was worn from being mocked about it. Sigh. Here's the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalis |

There's a fair chance the white ones were descended from cultivated plants, are there any gardens near the wood? They could even have come from someone flytipping the plants from a garden after they'd gone to seed. A quick google indicates the first white foxgloves were bred in the 1700's. BTW they are highly poisonous. |

In front of my old railway carridge, (Soon to be Gazebo) there is a concrete slab. On top of the the concrete, trapped against the metal of the carriage, there is a few millimeters of poor quality soil. It's not even soil really, just flakes of old paint and rust mixed with a little dirt.
I find it amazing how something as lovely as this so called "weed" can thrive in such an inhospitable place.
Weeds Rock!!

A mix of 'weeds' tossed together make some of the prettiest flower arrangements around, IMO.

You're just to cheap to buy proper flowers as a gift. |

Here's the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalis Digitalis - fingers - foxgloves ... It all makes sense now. Thanks Laxie |

Amazing. I took the dog round to my mum's on Sunday afternoon because he likes to play in the garden. I was talking to her about her plants and she said that there was one that she wasn't sure whether it was a plant or a weed. It was one of these pretty little yellow things that you've pictured here. Do they have a name? She'll be interested to know what they are. I know that she said even if they are a weed she's keeping them because they look so nice. |
