🧑🏻‍🎓 I was a teacher of English language and literature for 32 years.
☎️ Now I’m doing some learning and also a bit of voluntary work.
💦 I live in the small town of Yarm by the river Tees in N.E. England.
☎️✅ That’s work done for the day and the Flood Alert has now been lifted … 😅

🏡🌬️🌧️I opted for a back garden bird watch again this morning, owing to the constant rain and strong winds.

📒🐦‍⬛🎶 The 10 bird calls that I heard in my back garden in the rain early this morning (November 13th) added to my notebook.
🚨 My recording was interrupted by a phone call putting us on flood alert.
🐦 I was pleased to hear these regulars despite the conditions.
