Best accessible birdwatching spots up north

Good afternoon!

I was hoping to get some advice from you lovely lot. I have my elderly in-laws visiting from abroad next May/June and they are keen birders. I am looking for suggestions of the best places to take them between Edinburgh and York (their trip is not yet planned so huge flexibility). The catch is that my father in law has serious mobility issues; he can't walk more than ~500 m and steps need to be shallow. Alas he's not going accept using a wheelchair any time soon. So far Bempton Cliffs is a must but I am wondering how people find Kielder and Lindisfarne? Are there any birding boat trips anywhere that are actually accessible? Many thanks!

Heat pump installation- York

Hi all,

My partner and I bought a 4 bed/3 floor 1950s terraced house earlier this year. It's had the gas system removed and been running on electric radiators for the past 60 years. We'd like to put in an air to air system across at least part of it. We're total newbies to this - am I right in thinking we don't need planning permission anymore? What brands do people prefer? and does anyone have any installers they'd recommend who cover the York area?

TIA!

Rose varieties

Hi all,

We bought a house earlier in the year and the garden is full of rose bushes. They've just started to flower and I was wondering if any of you might have an idea what varieties they could be? (Sorry, not sure if this breaks the plant Id rule?)

The one in the first pic is lilac coloured and scented, the second pic is also scented, as is the third. I haven't sniffed the others yet!

Also, I would welcome any care tips as I'm very new to roses.

Many thanks 😊
