Heritage Open Days offer an opportunity for anyone to explore often closed or limited access buildings, estates and places of local historical interest – and a fantastic opportunity for nosey parkers like Mrs L to have a good, old snoop around, if we’re honest! No chance of her being in work on this years dates, 10-13 September, as she has a list of places to view…last year she even got an after-event private tour around Morecambes Midland Hotel, courtesy of the lovely concierge
Using the Tags for Rural and Agricultural, here are the search results and highligted below is one of our favourites from this list; but be sure to check out other openings in your locality!
Heritage Open Days is England’s biggest heritage festival involving 40,000 volunteers. It celebrates our fantastic history, architecture and culture; offering people the chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – all of which are FREE to explore. Every year on four days in September, the bunting is unfurled and buildings of every age, style and function throw open their doors. It is a once-a-year chance to discover the often hidden or forgotten gems on our doorsteps and enjoy a wide range of tours, events and activities that bring local history and culture to life.
If you’re enjoying the last few days of the school holidays, or welcoming a bit of peace and quiet back into your life, take a look at the National Trusts top 10 Coastal Walks:

Control Grassweed and reduce drift with the new Syngenta Defy3D Nozzles – Now available from stock with FREE SHIPPING*
An evolved version of the 2004 “Hawk” spraytip and the later “Defy”, the Defy 3D nozzle launched late August 2015 and is claimed to help improve Grassweed control and reduce spray drift.
Syngenta application expert Ben Magri says the Defy nozzle has now been trumped by the new Defy 3D, further improving coverage and reducing drift by a huge 60-75% over the standard flat fan, depending on nozzle size.
“Although the Defy was very good, the coefficient of variation – or evenness of spray – along the boom when alternating forward and backwards wasn’t as good as it could be.
“You would get the “rugby ball” effect, whereas the new 3D nozzle gives perfect 50-50 distribution between front and back and was the main reason for the redesign,” explains Mr Magri.
In Syngenta trials the improved nozzle performance has equated to a 6% improvement in blackgrass control when using a Liberator + Defy pre-emergence herbicide stack in 100 litres/ha of water.
Sizes available 03, 035, 04, 05, 06, 08
Operating pressure range 0.7-3 bar
Optimum pressure 2-2.5 bar
Optimum speed 12-14kph
Optimum boom height 50-75cm

Due to recent updates in the Sage Pay Credit Card processing system, some customers using older Windows Browsers are having problems at checkout. This is frequently displaying as an error which says it cannot connect you to the sage pay (credit card input screen).
Unfortunately, this is beyond our control as we have been provided this explanation by Sage Pay:
“SagePay stopped supporting (some) browsers…
It actually means that customers using Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6/8 will not be able to pay their orders via SagePay.
Customers should consider upgrading their operating system or downloading a different internet browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox”
If you are running an old browser you may find this problem on lots of online stores, so It could be time to update your browser.
You can find information about updating windows browsers at Windows.com
You can find information about google chrome here

Of course, you can always pay by Paypal – and you can use your credit/debit card via Paypal, too.
