Seeds and life
It is the 31st of March and the seeds have arrived from the mail order company – JR Brown and Co. I ought to shop locally but with Covid and an inability through habit of not going out, I prefer […]
Join a queue, any queue…
To Hereford, which is now becoming a regular event for a hair cut (style/trim/launder/puff up – delete as appropriate). Got taken by a queue in the main drag, which incidentally is now host to a market which has a slight […]

Even whilst we sleep…
… the world is active. Air France flight AF351 inbound Paris at approx 07.47 from Toronto. One of many overflights in the UK, it is usually accompanied by a Düsseldorfer at about this time. Screenshot taken shortly after the photo, […]
