We all need 'glimmers' of hope on these grey wet days. This is a lovely one
It never got light.
It never stopped raining.
Yet, somehow, the bright yellow flowers and shiny green 'ruffs' of Winter Aconite shone bright and cut through the gloom.

My morning so far:

Crumble (ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah)
I was caught in the middle of a breakfast room (crumble)
I look 'round, and I knew there was no cereal pack (crumble)
My mind raced, and I thought what could I do (crumble)
And I knew …

Now, with everything we have recently learnt about predatory men, can we all agree it's time to... BAN THE PERVERT GLASSES?

Before Brexit, we often sent local food hampers as presents to family in the EU. Yorkshire Parkin, curd tarts, cheeses etc.
They made wonderful presents and showcased small local makers.

End of a fun, boozy saturday with people who used to work for me. People who have flown, and i am now proud to call friends.
There is nothing. NOTHING. More satisfying as a leader than helping people fly.
It is my drug. When i die, let the gods stick me in a bar with the people i helped, forever.

Foisting a bluetooth tracker on a teenager and not even giving them a phone to control their location data or get the mapping benefits is creepy, sorry. And guess what, if it gets out of range of smartphones it won't even work, so it's a false security.
