Talkback: Robins
particularly chirpy chap to whom we would feed tiny cubes of cheese each day. If he considered we were ignoring him, he would come in the patio doors and fly around the kitchen until he got our attention, then fly out and wait for his daily treat. Later by kathryn.brock

Peace Lily
. It probably doesn't get watered very often, gets the odd dust and is kept by a West facing patio door. I think as long as you don't let it get frosted you shouldn't have any problems. I have a peace lily that ive had for years & it's beautiful.  Firstly make by Supernanauna

Heucheras

Something is eating my lavender
I sowed some English lavender seeds (Munstead, Hidcote & Elegance Sky).  I gave them the pre-sowing fridge treatment.  Munstead & Hidcote germinated well, Elegance Sky less so.  They are currently being grown on in pots on a shelf on my patio, ready by ChapelGirl2

Any advice on hand-push lawnmowers?
Flymo used to blow grass into the borders and all over the patio even though it was meant to collect it all. It also saves time getting  the power lead, extension cable, circuit breaker out from under the detritus in the garage. I actually look forward by Cetti
