Jim McColl fae the Beechgrove Garden has died at 89.
I planted my winter ingins last week, and yesterday bagged up the finished compost, turned the in-progress bin into another, started a new binful, and began piling up this year’s beech leaf fall into the leaf mould ‘cage’.Quote:

I remember some of the abuse she got on Twitter from the Yaxley-Lennon brigade when she announced she had cancer.
I came to her rescue once on Twitter when Douglas Lumsden MSP was having a pop at her during a piley on.
I asked him directly if he would like me to share some things he shared thoughts on at work a few years previously, before he was an MSP, but was an Aberdeen councillor. It would have been been corroborated too.
He went strangely quiet after that. Rancid pr1ck that he is.
RIP quine
