Amazing sky! I've never sailed on a lake, is it much different in feel to the sea?

Oh thank god, I seriously misinterpreted that headline.

Will definitely try it. I love loquats and their fruit:seed ratio is also not great.

Yeah the maintenance agreements can be a nightmare.

Also I heard a bizarre story about a cross lease neighbours at war type situation where there were no legally defined outdoor areas so these guys were hanging out on the other people's deck all the time to annoy them.

Beautiful! Really captures the feeling.

Yes unusually big yield, I hope it's not because there's something wrong with it! I must get under it with some candle wax and look for borer.

I only notice because I drive through these places on my way to visit family. The area I grew up has sort of turned into a bit of a resort area. It's kind of sad because a bunch of the family houses are vacant and the area's locals find it difficult to get housing.

Maybe people don't want a big lawn, true. It might be a cultural shift because they are less active with boats or outdoor stuff than when we were kids? The lawns and maintenance gets done by contractors and there are also companies that manage your bach if you want to put it on air bnb.

I love giraffes!! Awesome photo too! I haven't been that close to them in years!

Definitely, if I remember right it was always cheaper to set up a cross lease than to subdivide a section, so most of the old freestanding infill falls into that category.

Will have to try it sometime!

I remember being shown how to eat the inside of thistles once. As a kid I ate a lot of random stuff from trees etc but was always too impatient to peel thistles by myself.

Yes that does sound disproportionate.
