Misty Hollows

Driving to work through the misty Warwickshire countryside this morning. I was admiring the pools of mist and watching the Sun as it rose up through the fug...
The radio was banging on about bankers and the Credit crunch, blah blah blah...As if I give a hoot...
The next interview was with David Attenborough..About the Frogs and Amphibians being wiped out, by a fungus which attacks their respiratory system through their permeable skin...
So not only should we worry about the Bees we should start to panic about the poor old frogs...
So much to worry about as well as our own poor immortal souls...

Being freindly

On Saturday afternoon we had long game of tennis. My partner Foxy and I were walking up to the car park when we paused to speak to the owner of an old Rolls Royce..He was chauffeuring at a wedding...He was an interesting man and it was nice to stop and natter on such a sunny day..
As we talked a trout fisherman walked passed and joined in our conversation..He was an interesting fruitcake too, and I think all four of us enjoyed our spontaneous discourse together...
On Sunday we played doubles with my sons...Some Chavs had set up a barbecue and were playing a sweary game of football on the bowling green..I had an anxious moment when an old lady tried to tell them off, they had set fire to a fence a bit..What might I have to do? Have a fight beat up a fifteen year old..Get stabbed...

Soggy Little island

The Summer is heading toward a squelchy Autumn, and this weekend is going to be one of steady drizzle...So we are going to hunker down and watch some telly.Read some books...And cook some nice food...
Today was a good start..We had fish cakes with Amaranth and watercress leaves..The dressing though was "Unglaublurlich."..Beetroot n Tahini,,Vibrant beetroot and horseradish cream sweetened with pomegranate molasses...
And tonight Mathew I will be creating a pear, dark chocolate n raspberry frangipane..
Maybe try n squeeze a game of tennis or a bike ride in between downpours...
Is all about low level Ecstasy...

Weasely weckognisable/Stoataly different

So last weekend, straight after work I picked up my family, and we drove up too Robin Hoods bay. It is quite a trek... The campsite was busy, people making the most out of the last weekend of the Summer holidays.Lots of Yorkshire folk and their children who sound so serious as they talk.The accent gives them a sense of gravity...
We cycled to Whitby along a track, it didn't take so long and when we got there we had some chips on the pier. I observed the profusion of crude tattoos on fleshy arms and muffin tops and tried not to think cynical thoughts...
We played scrabble in the evenings and drank wine or smoothies. There was a star party on Saturday evening, unfortunately the clouds closed in..The Astronomer in charge had to point with a laser pen to where Uranus and Neptune should have been naked...eye objects.
Next day we where off over the North York moors which were ablaze with heather... We observed a hen harrier and two weasels .One of which paused for a photograph outside his Gaff...
