Bird lovers, please make sure that the lids are on your feeders, or birds might get stuck in them like this Starling my wife rescued, (also birds will scramble straight up your sleeve for some reason!)

Leave your house and leave your land
And throw away the key,
And never look behind, he creaked
And come and live with me.

I addressed this in an article I published about heather beetle a little while ago, land managers create firebreaks, so why not beetle breaks?

Latest reading material, some light, others more heavy-going, should keep me going for a while but I can hardly find the time to read anything nowadays!

Barry at Sue’s Deli in Clitheroe Market saved this out-of-date cream for me to make butter with, he even called me to let me know he had it!
You don’t get service like that in a supermarket!

Please pray for Jamaica, the hurricane they’re going to get pummelled by #Melissa could be, with 175mph+ winds, the strongest ever to hit them since 1851, it’s already at the limits for how big a hurricane can be at that latitude.

Meet Billy (my wife named him)
He wandered into work with a broken wing.
I somehow ended up taking him home.
We took him to the vets, he’s got an air-rifle pellet lodged in his wing and he’ll never fly again.
So it looks like we now have a pigeon!
