Sunday 07 February Snowy Sunday. It started around 4am and has not stopped all day. Now, I know we have a tendency to exaggerate and get a little hysterical about all weather in the UK, but that’s because (I believe) we live in a temperate climate where we have few extremes of anything and alittleContinue reading “Day 324”

That’s quite embarrassing. Maybe, my growing fondness for Blackbirds means I am becoming obsessed with them andContinue reading “Day 82”
