Seems somebody decided to dig over box 10. Might have looked unkempt but they’ve destroyed a 7/8 year old gorgeous dahlia, all of my cardoons, fennel, sorrel, lovage, salad bernet and more. Beyond fuming.

It’s so sad that this fabulous little pub @TheJollyAngler has come to a close. I have many happy memories here and salute LandLord Ray for being an absolute diamond amongst Mancs. This is such a wonderful piece by @McrBuilds
Sad times. Last dust before this goes over to the landlord of the legendary @TheJollyAngler . I'll post full pics shortly

I don’t know who I am so I’m sure most people don’t have a clue! I love this micro print in the window of this quality model of the sadly lost @TheJollyAngler by @McrBuilds
Big shout to @RealMancsy who gave me the all clear to wack a bit of his work in the window. If anyone knows who he is then let me know it's pecking my head 😆. #cluedo

Last of @TheJollyAngler . Standing as a pub since approx 1888. Gone but never forgotten for the regulars and the local Irish folk music lovers. 🙌🏻🙌🏻.

Had many a pint in @TheJollyAngler after a few hours gardening at the grow boxes. We’re all gutted to see it go. 🍻
Head over here for a little run down and a few more pics. Farewell to the Jolly Angler...you did Manchester city centre proud instagram.com/p/CK6S9xSAgzA/…

#ayearinphotos March - starting to get a little bit twitchy as the news of the pandemic got a lot more serious. Finally got close enough to the @NQGrowboxes Wren to get a half decent picture - one of the last ones I took there before we moved to working from home.

A group of Yellow-Faced bees checking whether it had stopped raining yet yesterday. The name 'Solitary Bee' is a bit misleading when it comes to these ones as they often like to roost in groups, I find this at @NQGrowboxes too! #bees

#SolitaryBeeWeek There seems to have been a second emergence of Wood Carving Leafcutter bees in the garden this week! #bees

We would also commend the work of the groups who have been cleaning & greening the Northern Quarter for many years @NQGreening @NQGrowboxes @ANewLeafMCR @SowtheCity @CityofTreesMcr @disco_mel & all the individuals who just quietly do their bit for our community – at Manchester, England

In much happier @NQGrowboxes news, at the moment the Wren is to be found mostly hanging around the compost bins. He or she is obsessed! 😂

Had to go & check it out.... maybe @bdp_com (across) or @civicengineers saw when this was done. Crocuses & snowdrops trampled. Someone better have a good reason for doing this. Must be @CanalRiverTrust or @MCCCityCentre

All the birds at @NQGrowboxes have totally decided that it's Spring today, even though it's absolutely tipping it down! Birdsong everywhere!

Actual singing in the rain at @NQGrowboxes last week starring one of the resident Dunnocks and @RL_Morris Sweet Pea frame!
