Why yes, you idiot moggy, I do have a friend with a very long ladder, and fortunately he also has infinite patience to wrestle with you 25ft off the ground to get you home safely

Hello down there! I seem to be a little bit stuck. Any chance you have a ladder long enough to come and get me? Of course I'll co-operate, and not try and escape along a branch not strong enough for my weight, or cling fiercely to the tree with every fibre of my being when you try and pick me up.

The Drunken Duck has always been a fine pub, and I started sampling their wares early. Me and my mother, 1977

Reasonably happy with my use of my bank holiday Monday. Would rather be there in person than drawing it from the Fens, but you can't have everything!

I didn't quite get the same angle in April and August, but I still rather like the contrast of blossom then sloes and the treeless branches in Spring being lush green in Summer

Histon Hornets 5-a-side football tournament... 215 teams, 593 matches, 13 pitches, 30 referees, 1500+ players, 1.5 days. And me at the helm leading an extraordinary gang of volunteers doing it all for the love of the game. Might be a bit tired now

Life as a grassroots coach... One of your players has outgrown his boots and is in pain so you lend him your boots for the game. And he scored with them on 💪

I've always wanted to have alliums in my garden. Aged 50, and prompted by @silverpebble2.bsky.social telling me I can buy plants for myself if I want, I planted allium bulbs this year. First one is almost out 😍

A single ion arriving in our ion detection system. One ion. Been doing this for 28 years and it's still awesome.

A beautiful day yesterday at RSPB Fowlmere. Heard my first cuckoo of spring, saw my first swallow of the year and spent a while watching a gorgeous marsh harrier at closer range than I've ever had. Shame it's raining today...
