We visited my Gt Gt Uncle Albert's grave this summer. He left England for a life in Canada, only to return and die because of the aspirations of the rich and powerful.
His brother, John William, died on the first day of the Somme. His body hasn't been recovered.
So many lives.

I've asked some questions of our Town Council because of this. A massive bespoke poppy that, I'm betting, not a penny has gone to the RBL to display.
I'm also sick of knotted postbox covers.

Just as I was leaving the river this evening, after a mostly wildlife free evening, I was stood on the bank talking to a fellow angler when he asked "Can I take you picture?"
Odd, butI said OK.
This is the picture. I'm best in silhouette.

Wildlife Photography of the Year. Application no.2.
The Otter.
In the folded reeds across the river is an otter, eating her catch.
You know those really modern phones with superb cameras?
I don't have one.

I dread to think of the comment Ben Obese-Jecty received to his X post. Some of them will be from people who hate him for the colour of his skin. Why do black Tories put up with it?

My bid for Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
Before taking the picture the tree right in front of my was full of long-tailed tits, blue tits and a very super little goldcrest.
I didn't pick the phone up until they'd gone because I didn't want to spook them.
I promise. They were gorgeous.

I've cooked a delicious fish pie, and the cat isn't hassling me at all.
Not one bit.

Ramsey Town Council's office this evening.
Remembrance is a time of mindfulness for those who paid the ultimate price. A time to remember the peace they won.
This, however, is grotesque. It makes me angry. They've missed the point.
