Helegant Sep 2023 12:35pm, 8 Sep 2023 7,414 posts	0 Helegant Vicarious joy. I'm dot-watching 11 cross Channel swims in the best weather possible with glassy seas. The person alongside LouiseJane II is someone who swims in the same lane as me (but much more powerfully!) and is achieving their dream today.

CasB Sep 2023 2:24pm, 8 Sep 2023 1,076 posts	0 CasB Very best of luck to your swimmer Helegant! Our friend completed hers on Wednesday and keeping up with the WhatsApp from her support crew and the dot-watching was fantastic, nerve-wracking, and utterly inspiring. I hope your swimmer has a brilliant crossing!

As can be seen in the picture below some of the benches in the gardens have gaps and then a shelf next to them This is so that a wheelchair user can sit with their friends and have somewhere for their coffee
LazyDaisy Sep 2023 7:27pm, 8 Sep 2023 38,780 posts	0 LazyDaisy I think I got a bargain in Lidl today - a bag of 30 tulips and 20 narcissus for £6.99. It was the only such bag in amongst all the smaller bags, and had no price on it, but when the girl on the till did a price check for me it came up as £6.99 so who am I to argue? (Last week I paid £6.99 for a pack of 8 tulips at the local garden centre!)
