My favourite hobby is to say hello to dogs but ignore their humans. Once thought I saw Bobby Davro, but it was another man. Animals, trains, racing cars, books and sugar are all things that can be separated with a comma to make a list.

I can now add getting locked on a pier to my lifetime mishap list. Still photos do the murmuration no justice at all.
Moving house has been totally unimaginably awful. However, HOWEVER - tonight I opened the bedroom window to listen to Tawny Owls (well, owl) and it’s suddenly all worth it. I hope you also like the view of my gutter and patio.

I still watch Keeping Up Appearances so regularly. I always think it’s a bit weird to “mourn” the death of someone you have never met, yet here I am! RIP Dame Patricia. Who will be the lady of the house now???

This week I finally got my new garden (plus other stuff that comes with it - house etc etc). Things I’ve seen in it so far: Wood Peckers, Jays, Coal Tits, Great Tits, Blue Tits, Wrens and Badgers. All of this to a strange ghostly voice telling me to come inside as wallpaper needs stripping.

I’m not sure if having a favourite door at work is a thing, but this is my favourite door at work.

I’ve got a signing male Black Redstart outside of my office window. I’m feeling quite smug about it to be honest.

35 (maybe more!) years apart. I’m young enough that all those fields were my playground all summer long, but now old enough to see them about to be turned into a housing estate. All in the name of progress I guess.

My friend went to Istanbul. She assumed I wouldn’t be too interested in the wide ranging culture of a city that spans two continents, so instead kept me posted on the animals she found. I share them here with you.
