R and I were in Stratford today, for errands and lunch, on a day that had started well, weather-wise, but then turned very bad indeed. In freezing temperatures and driving rain, I scuttled down to the river to grab some … Continued

I spent a thoroughly enjoyable few hours at Slimbridge today. It was bitterly cold, and the light was patchy, but the birding was all you could reasonably wish for. Pick of the day, rarity-wise, was a Scaup – but it … Continued

By the time I emerged from the shower this morning, R and B were already out in the garden, collecting fallen twigs to take to the bridge and throw into the stream. They came back with a sizeable collection in … Continued

I spent the morning waiting for a call-back from someone who’d left me an insistent message yesterday saying that I HAD to phone them today, only to be unavailable when I did. I find this kind of situation enraging, and … Continued

I began taking the Christmas decorations down today – not because it’s Twelfth Night, if I just caused you to experience a sudden panic, but because we’re hosting the Boy Wonder at the weekend, and I want the house restored … Continued
