Winter Bramblings
Two winters ago we had loads of Bramblings in our garden. Last winter I did not see one. But this morning there is one on our feeder. I wonder if we will get the numbers that we had before? Here’s one on the feeder with a Goldfinch And on its own Still birdie related –…

Don’t bother with feeling down sofa cushions
I am £1.75 richer today without having to feel down between sofa cushions. Today our washing machine (a Hotpoint BWM129 for those who might come here via a Google search when they have a problem) decided to not empty and flashed the Door Locked, Rinse Hold and Super Wash lights at us.

Trout at the Weir
On Friday lunch-time I went to the weir at Robert’s Park and I could quite easily have spent the rest of the afternoon there. The fish leaping out of the foaming water at the weir were really great to watch. I stopped there again on the way home. I took in the region of 450…

Drax Power Station
It is now a few weeks since I was over Howden way and I have still not been through the Sunday morning pictures properly but I thought this one was worth displaying. It didn’t need cropping or messing about with in any way. I like the way it is sort of “complete”. As usual you…
