Dear 🇺🇸 the whole world has seen the videos of the shooting in Minnesota, if you really believe the spin from your government then accept you are under a dictatorship.

Well Amanda must have been a 💩 detective, she picks three faithfuls as her suspects as a Traitor and tells a Traitor her secret

One simple chore, remove the netting from the garden pond and I managed to cut my thumb, don’t even know how it happened.

Yesterday I had 4 people in my guided Hare walk, I find this number of people with me makes the Hares so comfortable that they will sometimes get overlooked and wait until we pass by to creep away behind us, I often wonder how many we miss.

A cold and Snowy morning walk in Ely this morning

After 14 years of a chaotic Conservative government in this country I lived in hope that we would at last get a PM with some sort of a Backbone, but I now fear we have ended up with the 21st century equivalent of Neville Chamberlain

I have taken the plunge, After 10 years of using DSLR, I am going Mirrorless.

Trump doesn’t like the Mayor of London.

Just putting that out there in case he suddenly disappears

If anything what Trump has done in Venezuela has confirmed for me that Starmer has no backbone

Someone posted a School Photo Photograph from 1937 of a School I know my Father attended on Social Media and I found him aged 12 1/2.

Mid morning walk around Ely to get my bird year list started, 39 species but surprisingly no House Sparrows, but Redwings, Kingfisher and a pair of Buzzards calling and prospecting a nest site.

As we around the world welcome in 2026 I want to think about my family and friends in the USA who will be welcoming in 1939 under Trump.

That’s me banned from entering anytime soon.
