Blue steel!

He was v smart. Spent minutes observing us and evaluating risk. Took most of the food back to a nearby nest.

Morning Ben and all. Bet it’s great to be back in Madrid, Ben. Have a corking day, all.

Good morning Clare and all. Today we are messing about on the river. I made a new friend on a walk yesterday…

Yes we’ve been really lucky with the weather this week.

I’d recommend them highly to you, Rob!

It was the 18th anniversary of the opening of one of our favourite restaurants, The Seahorse in Dartmouth. We started at 12:30 and slunk out c.7pm… and we were far from the last to leave!

There are three seals basking on a raft just outside our window. How marvellous.

A belated good morning all. After a glorious six hour lunch yesterday a long coastal path walk is in order.

Fast hog action

Sounds like a solid plan, Rob!

Thanks Rob!

Will do!

Langford Lakes. Lovely spot.

Is “calf and c***s” the name of the pub the pissed up locals use?

The boy done good!

Thanks SC, we will do our best!

Good morning CIF and all. We are off for a week in Devon. Our habit is to break the journey each way. Today we’ll peel off the A303 to visit a bird reserve (high chance of kingfishers) and then stay over in a c.14th coaching inn in Somerset. Have a cracking Thursday, all.

Magnificent beer choices, sir.

Good morning Clare and all. The market was pleasantly calm yesterday and I suspect the same again today. Have nearly finished packing ready for a jaunt down to Devon starting tomorrow morning. Can’t wait.

My wife once misheard me when I pointed one out and they are now eternally known as “hoopla” birds in our house…

Good morning Clare and all. It’s looking like a fresh and bright start to the day. I’m working on the market so I’d better limber up for a busy day.

Those two have beef. Last week the robin launched a full on two footed attack on the tit.

Yes indeed. He was indignant that I wasn’t providing breakfast for him, too.

Blimey!

Good morning Hilary and all. Huge congratulations, Hungary!! So good to see the bad guys lose for once. I’m heading out to celebrate with these guys.

Horrific

The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇
