Hi neighbours,
Sometime between midnight and 5 this morning someone pushed my car down our drive and stole my husbands motorbike. Not worried about the car, it was damaged but not stolen but we would love the bike back. If you saw anything please get in touch.

Sometime between midnight and 5 this morning someone pushed my car down our drive and stole my husbands motorbike. Not worried about the car, it was damaged but not stolen but we would love the bike back. If you saw anything please get in touch.
It’s a 2006 Harley soft tail. Maroon/red in colour.
Update: hi everyone, thanks for all the concern around the bike. After never thinking we would see it again, we got a call from the police Saturday night that the bike had been found. Never thought I would be found but we have it back. It had been in an accident and the idiot riding it had come off and ended up in hospital, bike not totalled but not in great shape.

Last year saw a national shortage of Swan plants, the main diet of Monarch caterpillars, causing a large number of the population to be wiped out.
Yates is getting behind the drive to avert a similar crisis this year by giving away various free butterfly friendly seeds including Yates new Butterfly Field Mix seeds between 1st and 14th October. Just register here during this time to receive your packet of seeds.
A national planting day will be held on 20th October. Plant a Swan plant or other butterfly friendly plants in your garden, in your neighbour’s garden, at school, in your local community garden – and let’s help Monarch butterflies flourish.
National Gardening Week aims to foster a love of gardening with a focus on growing not only plants but friendships, good health, strong communities and closer connections with nature.
