@sarah_mnstr hey quick question, can you remember how many species of bee you’d seen at the boxes pre Covid? Was it around 30? 😁
English


@NQGrowboxes Oh and we get a pretty rare Yellow Faced bee there that's only been recorded there in Manchester. It's so unusual one of the County Bee Recorders contacted me to check some details (they were checking that someone with actual scientific credentials was happy with the ID) 🤣

@NQGrowboxes @MCRHopProject @BeerNouveau Hoping I'll actually get to see them this year! (not that I want to go back to the office, proximity to @NQGrowboxes is the ONLY upside I can see) 😝

Hops donated by @MCRHopProject @BeerNouveau planted up! Hopefully these become absolute giants @NQGrowboxes 🙌 🍻

@ChoelCartwright @boxnumberten They must have thought they were doing us a favour as admittedly it did need weeding, just been too stressed/busy to do it. All of the perennials were coming back and it had taken so many years to get them to where they were. 😑

@boxnumberten That’s terrible. so sorry, how inconsiderate and not like you’ll not find out who did it.

@cu1turesponge @boxnumberten @ChoelCartwright Gutted. I grew those beautiful dahlias from seed, they were unique! Hopefully the tubers are in the compost bin! If I can find them do you want some for your garden? 🙂

@boxnumberten @ChoelCartwright Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 😢

@BeerNouveau @elizabeth_madge Whole of New Islington Marina has been worse than that for months now 😑

🧵 Well it’s the last week for the @TheJollyAngler 😢 We do want to have some farewell drinks (not in the Jolly obvs) when things are open and we can all mix again so if you want to join us then continue to follow here and we’ll let you know what the plan is. It would be fab to

Head over here for a little run down and a few more pics. Farewell to the Jolly Angler...you did Manchester city centre proud instagram.com/p/CK6S9xSAgzA/…

@JonConnorLyons @LucyMPowell @patkarney Cheers for your support. The pub will allegedly be demolished so the billionaire owner of BooHoo can build flats. So where do we go from here exactly?
English

@NQGrowboxes @McrBuilds @LucyMPowell @patkarney Had my first pint in that pub. If you want to talk, you know how to get in touch with us. As we've said, a commercial unit should be retained that reflects the cultural and historical significance that this pub has to so many. Stay safe.

Happy to support this campaign to call on developers/ Council to ensure whatever development is undertaken, it contains a commercial unit for the @TheJollyAngler, a real ale pub, that has been part of our community for decades. #PiccadillyWard #Manchester change.org/p/sir-richard-…

@McrBuilds @LucyMPowell @patkarney @JonConnorLyons Or just don’t show any interest at all, as per usual. Cheers guys! 👏

@McrBuilds Hey @LucyMPowell @patkarney @JonConnorLyons check this out! Another part of the city’s heritage set to be sadly lost forever.
