Nice visit to Bempton and Flamborough yesterday. I originally intended to focus on puffins but ended up concentrating on the amazing Gannets with just a couple of puffins and one amazing kestrel.

RABID!

There is no other way to describe the behaviour of the majority of the press and media. ( including the BBC).

This is not news. This is not reporting. This is not a free press.

This is rabid, anti EU propaganda.

Are you taken in by it?
May 20, 2025 at 6:48 AM
Toxic, toxic, toxic!

The brexit promoting right wing media has crippled the UK.

Now they brand any attempt at recovery as "betrayal".

This is not a "free press", this is ultra right wing propaganda aimed at keeping you impoverished, subservient and servile.

Are you taken in?

Sickening...

The state of Israel is currently starving children to death as well as killing and maiming them in vast numbers.

Remember the image of the dismembered dead child hanging from a wall after Israel blew her up.

And yet..

They take part in a feckin song contest.

Where is our humanity?

In the late 21st century the gap between those who have wealth and power, and those who have nothing, has reached gargantuan proportions.

Can a fightback succeed against those with sophisticated weapons, including nuclear?

Can anything save the world from self destruction?

Unstoppable and accelerating climate change, the continued concentration of wealth and power into fewer hands, a shift to right-wing politics, the growing number of armed conflicts, and the rise of AI and robotics - where is this going to lead us in 50 years, in 500 years?

Nadya, our heroine from the 25th century, reads the journal left by her distant ancestor, Harry.

In it, he describes how the political and environmental trends of the early 21st century led to the collapse of western civilisation, the great flood and the rise of The Guardian.

Kayakers love to paddle into caves and this image from my paddle off the coast of Sardinia yesterday perhaps shows why.

The steady chatter of the ripples against the rock walls, the drip of water from the ceiling and the eerie but beautiful light penetrative from the outside is quite something.

"Absorbed by the view, the immensity of the landscape, and her own thoughts, Nadya did not, at first, see the figure in the heather as she topped the final rise of the steep moorland climb."

Nadya meets the man who will play such a huge part in her life.

Hey...

So I woke up this morning and I was, like, 67 and had a wife, 3 kids and 3 granddaughters...

But ... Keith Emerson is dead - and Pink Floyd split - and Sonja Kristina got old. Oh man...

And I was thinking like...

" This is far out man - but can someone show me the door back to 1975"
