The famous Italian Lancia brand is set for a relaunch by owners the Stellantis Group after for years having only one model, the supermini-sized Ypsilon, writes Brian Byrne. A new Ypsilon will be based on the Fiat 500 EV, and there will also be a new Delta compact electric model. A new flagship car for the brand is as yet un-named. A statement from the Lancia division of Stellantis says the brand’s cars will have the highest percentage of recycled content of any of the group’s other brands, which include Peugeot, Citroen and Opel as well as former Fiat Chrysler Auto makes. A first concept from the revitalised Lancia will be revealed in April. Lancia hasn’t sold in the UK and Ireland since 1991, when the brand ceased making RHD models..  

 After the initial planting of our new exotic cold-hardy effect garden earlier on in the year we thought we would pop out and see if there was anything interesting in the local garden centres and nurseries which we could add to our collection. We wasn’t expecting there to be too much around but lorna manages to find a lot more than I was expecting her to. So in this video Lorna explains what she has picked up and will even try to pronounce some of the botanical names which is always good for a laugh! A few of my favourites were picked up including the Dasylirion longissimum – Mexican Grass Tree and the wonderful Sphaeropteris cooperi.
