THE latest annual competition to be judged by Northallerton Camera Club took on a slightly different twist in this Covid-stricken year. Each year the members are invited to produce an AV (Audio Visual) presentation and a very nice silver trophy goes to the winner, as voted for by their peers. The maximum duration of each show was increased from four minutes to seven this year, as the entry is low enough to accommodate this – the entry for 2021 was nine presentations – a good hour s worth. The voting slips had been emailed to all members and, on the night, about 30 tuned in to Zoom, ready to be entertained. All good so far. This is a popular competition in the clubhouse, when, as the lights dim and the chattering stops, everyone is soon wondering who produced that sequence of wonderful landscapes, who had the imagination to have everyone rolling in their seats laughing (usually David Lock!) and was that John Webster whose AV brimmed with sparkling icebergs?

The truth is that all roses aren’t created equal – and neither is any other plant. right down to the specific type of grass blades in your lawn.
Genetic variances can make the difference between plants that thrive and ones that croak.
Company Offers Live Christmas Tree Rental
A tree is a must-have for many during Christmas, with the colorful ornaments and lights to brighten the home. But after the holiday, many trees are thrown to the curb. One company in the UK is trying to change that, by keeping the Christmas spirit alive.
At Cotswold Fir Forestry, a Christmas tree farm in Southern England, there is a growing grove of holiday Christmas tree rentals. The trees are grown in pots. A couple weeks before Christmas, the trees are netted, pots and all, and shipped off.
Paul Keene with Cotswold Fir Forestry says the trend is growing in popularity. We ve gone from 12 trees to I don t know, I’ve lost count, thousands now.
