R had a couple more appointments in Stratford this morning, and as he’s currently not driving I had to go along too, as chauffeur. I didn’t mind though, because there had been another light fall of snow overnight, and the … Continued

New Year’s Eve

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

R and I like to have lunch out on 31st December, because this lets us pretend to celebrate an occasion that seems to be important to most of the rest of the world, while ensuring that we’re safely tucked up … Continued

Tension

R and I both felt that we’d spent too much of yesterday sitting down, and I felt that I’d also spent too much of it standing still in one place while singing, so we wanted to get out for a … Continued

Bird therapy

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire, Worcestershire | 0

The weather seesawed back to ‘Dreary’ today, and I felt the need of some bird therapy. There were no interesting bird alerts anywhere within a fifty-mile radius though, so I took the line of least resistance and went up to … Continued
