I understand. I’m hoping to head west in spring, assuming reservoirs have filled enough. It looks like my local commitment will end soon so time to explore westward I hope.

Well done for citing the driver at fault, not the somehow autonomous vehicle.

John Nash painted 'The Viaduct,' (1916) just before he enlisted in the Artist's Rifles, it can be seen as a memorial to a way of life that was about to be lost forever. The picture is based on a watercolour Nash painted in Dorset and might depict the Cannington Viaduct.

I hope the blast isn’t too bad and sheltering distracts them from eating All That Grass

Moved the old horses and ponies back to their sheltered field full of grass. Bad weather coming.

Moved Them

This morning Vitamoobag and her not-much-of-a-friend Kolka escaped and went walkabout around the croft. It was all my fault. I didn’t secure the gate when I brought the breakfast buckets and…

On 19 October 2022 I was busy finishing off drawing a window of Holy Trinity Church, Goodramgate. I had hardly started drawing the furniture for which the church is better known.

You must have had some rain, I haven’t seen mud like that for months.
Good that someone was around to help before too late.

Good morning! Just a few dahlias left, including this ‘Crazy Love’. It wasn’t the best year in terms of quantity, but they’re still as lovely as ever. 🌱

EU recovers £200k from Paul Nuttall and other UKIP parties.

Farage was docked half his MEP salary for 10 months to repay £84,000 of his personal share in the financial shenanigans

Why aren’t the MSM whamming him on this given he claims he will be the next PM?
