The yards are there just the same I'm sure. I don't know what draws the glow-worms - need to read up on them.<BR/><BR/>Nancy - I think glow-worms are the same as your fireflies, just our English name for them.<BR/><BR/>Elizabethm - we're probably a few hundred feet lower than you, but the dampness does for Hollyhocks, and we get canker on the fruit trees, and some of the roses don't thrive. But then some really DO do well!<BR/><BR/>Mara - I've just seen them the once, but they were so pretty.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798594086901897654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639892272013528432.post-60327948587215730152008-06-18T07:25:00.000+01:002008-06-18T07:25:00.000+01:00I'm amazed to hear that there have been glow worms...I'm amazed to hear that there have been glow worms in Sheffield especially Crookes which is very built up and urban, of course in the War years it may have been different. The only time I've ever seen glow worms was in New England, they are a lovely sight.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639892272013528432.post-89434129967302955902008-06-15T22:33:00.000+01:002008-06-15T22:33:00.000+01:00That is a beautiful castle and a beautiful shot. ...That is a beautiful castle and a beautiful shot.

Rugosa roses are all right up here but most of them are not tough enough to cope with the height and wind and stony soil.Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639892272013528432.post-17386503725235037712008-06-15T06:50:00.000+01:002008-06-15T06:50:00.000+01:00I don't think I've ever seen glow worms; they must...I don't think I've ever seen glow worms; they must be quite an amazing sight :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
