Run for your lives!

Be very scared!

He wants your blood


I've been on holiday, so will gradually give snippets of stuff that happened. First up, it's geese on the attack at a farm in Stanton St John. We tried to stay cool but ended up legging it out of the field in a state of sheer panic. Definitely 1-0 to the geese.

Not for the faint-hearted. Or short-sighted


This man has had a pair of glasses permanently tattooed on his face. Good idea.

Back in Belgium

A cow weighing contest was happening beneath this tower.


I ordered a mint tea. They were very generous with the mint.


What a nice shop


I ticked another Dutch city off my Belgium bingo list by spending the weekend in Antwerp. Had a lovely time wandering around antique and vintage shops and dreaming of what patisserie treat I would embark on next. The city is full of nice old buildings, beer and odd bods. There were fewer resplendent moustaches than in Brussels, but seeing a man whose spectacles appeared to be smaller than his actual eyes, more than made up for that.

Peanut patrol

I look like a lunatic. I can't help it.

Today mum and dad gave me some binoculars from Lidl.I think my eyes are too close together for them to work properly. But I did get a close up of a Great Tit flying off with a peanut.

Brilliant Iris Murdoch


Reading this amazing book...
By this amazing woman...

Let's look on the bright side

Found out today that it seems pretty certain I will lose my job at the Beeb. I could get all upset (and I'm sure that bit will come) but there were also plenty of good things that happened today. Like all this:

1. I saw a man weaving fast through the Media Village on a skateboard, whilst nattering on his mobile phone. Very Nathan Barley.
2. I saw a man in a cycle helmet, carrying a briefcase-like bag, ride past the canteen on a unicycle.
3. I saw Chico (of Chico Time fame) jump out from behind a hedge.

Amazing!
