My Box hedge has been completely destroyed by Box Blight and I think this is the culprit - Box Tree Moth?

An 85 year old USA built steam loco that spent its working life in the Chinese coal fields pulling a tourist train near Leek, North Staffordshire, today. Quite a sight but not doing much clean air

That will be a white Christmas they are wishing for I expect. Years ago one of their leading lights was a close friend and I never imagined he would go down this dreadful path - sad really as he was a great young lad in those days

Not a good photo but there are two Parakeets in this tree. Markeaton Park, Derby, today. They are apparently quite common in the park but I rarely see, or more to the point, hear them as they make quite a row

Can anybody tell me what this crop is - it was set after the wheat failed due to the wet and has been topped once, I assume for fodder, and has grown again like wild fire. Near Derby, UK, the California of the East Midlands😁
