I can hear a little owl from my bed. First time in years.
Last night I gave a talk in which the local decline of little owls was tangentially mentioned. A few hours later, an 🦉 is pointing out I know nothing.

Rachel Reeves.
With regard to your budget, please listen to Hilary from our village. She’s married to Roger & sings soprano in the church choir.
People aren’t bothered about the minimum wage or income tax.
They want a return to good old fashioned Quality Street!
DO SOMETHING!

I heard a tawny owl as I walked home from our kooky little 1950s cinema last night.
And I heard a tawny owl as I walked for my bus to Norwich this morning.
Every time they make me smile.

On these Natural History shelves at Norwich @waterstones.bsky.social I’ve just counted 38 authors I’ve interviewed.
No wonder I never have time for Dickens!
