We should feature the wildlife while it still exists. Pictures of Nelson and David Beckham will still be available when we’ve finished destroying the remainder of our biodiversity.

Good morning. Rain overnight so going but hopefully London’s streets are boot friendly because it’s not exactly waterproof. Hope everyone is doing well…

This is a lovely account. A small source of joy every day.

Wow. That’s insane. Fortunately we filled up relatively recently and that’s probably the last one before the summer. But these people need to be regulated.

Morning Guy, morning all. These two days are my annual golf days in Berkshire with a great school friend. No golf for me this year, but a great night of nonsense chat and whiskey last night. Wishing you all a good one.

Good morning all. Yesterday I was supposed to run the Colchester half marathon, but l the apex of my athletic performance was having a shower standing up. Onwards and upwards and wishing the ORCs, and everyone else, a peaceful week.

Ink is towards end of April, tonight there’s some sort of show at Henham. We’ll need to check the road closures. They’re endless at the moment.

My enforced month of WFH has renewed my interest in the wildlife out of the window and having replenished feeder stocks for them the visitor numbers are up. Today’s busiest visitor is one of a pair. And they’re rather lovely.

Morning all. Another misty start. Impromptu pub supper last night which was nice. Wishing everyone a good weekend.

Hamlet outlasts coal is a good headline.

This really is marvellous stuff: 'the rich β€œreally value the ability to move and work wherever they want, when they want, and when something like the Iran war disrupts it, they don’t like it”.

It wasn’t quite that bad here but it just sort of settled all day.

It’s a cottage in the grounds of what I suppose is a small stately home. The grounds of that are really lovely. There’s a huge piece of parkland with magnificent mature oaks.

Need to get there next term when I’m a bit more mobile.

Went there as a 10 year old on a school trip. We did the full tourist Normandy: Lisieux, Bayeux, Omaha, Arromanches, Mont St M… all in cruel grey weather! A nip of Calvados would have helped!

Saw some nice pics of former colleagues from Milan.

Good morning ORCs. Yesterday’s mist never cleared here in the far east, but today’s already giving way to a beautiful day! Have a good one!
