Playgrounds and more new Laws

Read this morning that parents are not supposed to socialize at playgrounds. What happened to being a Democracy Thou totally understand and probably agree with this – can you imagine the damage this is doing to all our mental health. Wonder if we will become like Eskimos, the smallest bug will knock us over as […]

snow in the air

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it strange To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen […]

Off Grid – Alaska

Thought the UK was part of the Paris Agreement?

Not very sensible to mine coal in 2021 – in own small opinion

Lock down

‘Lock Down’ is something before heard about on crime dramas where all the prisoners are put in ‘Lock Down’ when something bad happens and they are locked in their cells. Not ever so different.

Captain Sir Tom Moore

Very sad to hear about Captain Sir Tom Moore – very sweet gentleman. Our love and thoughts to his family. In these strange times – he was a little bit of sunshine.

Ramon’s Dad – Cloud Forests of Ecuador

Ministry of Environment, Quito, Ecuador: Please – Stop Selling Last of the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest to Oil Companies You can make soap from Lanolin in sheeps […]

Big Garden Birdwatch – this weekend

Will try again tomorrow as light rain. You can hear background hum of birds up the trees but have to be something spectacular to get them to leave their nests today – only a large cheeky robin flew down for the bread and a buzzard and a seagull as we are not far from the […]

February

A parsnip sits in the ground waiting for the first frosts which are meant to make it taste sweeter but often forgotten and only discovered as you clear your ground for planting next season, neglected, it may have become a monster now hard to pull out of the ground and have developed rust or canker. […]

What can you do to see more snowflakes

Today it snowed. The sky went grey and filled with a flurry of snowflakes but the ground wasn’t frosty enough so they didn’t settle – but they were there. Global Warming is changing our World. Things that might help if we all did them – please read

Waiting for the Tide

Environment

This is very peaceful moated garden in Sussex – the longest water filled moat in England but the water will probably soon disappear as are the ox bow bends where the river Ouse goes to the sea at Seven Sisters Country Park – which was one of the most iconic sights in Sussex, especially at […]

Stars shone brightly

January 20th 2021 signing in of the 46th President – Mr Joe Biden – was very fast – hoped it signalled a sea change. We loved the music and symbolism of flags representing and honoring people who have been lost in the USA in 2020 to the virus and the reading of the ”Hill we […]

Interesting Sussex town

Needing to think about something else, read about East Grinstead and Ashdown Forest because Forest Row is a place know well but there are more beautiful woods and normally drive past the turn off and on to Groombridge and Penshurst Place. Heard about Scientology, Tom Cruise, Queen Vic Burns Unit and Winnie the Pooh but […]
