Leave your house and leave your land
And throw away the key,
And never look behind, he creaked
And come and live with me.

I addressed this in an article I published about heather beetle a little while ago, land managers create firebreaks, so why not beetle breaks?

Latest reading material, some light, others more heavy-going, should keep me going for a while but I can hardly find the time to read anything nowadays!

Barry at Sue’s Deli in Clitheroe Market saved this out-of-date cream for me to make butter with, he even called me to let me know he had it!
You don’t get service like that in a supermarket!

Please pray for Jamaica, the hurricane they’re going to get pummelled by #Melissa could be, with 175mph+ winds, the strongest ever to hit them since 1851, it’s already at the limits for how big a hurricane can be at that latitude.

Meet Billy (my wife named him)
He wandered into work with a broken wing.
I somehow ended up taking him home.
We took him to the vets, he’s got an air-rifle pellet lodged in his wing and he’ll never fly again.
So it looks like we now have a pigeon!
