Blue skys....

But for how long. This is proving to be a pessemistic summer. Sun is shining and no wind , warm and comfortable. But when will the cloud and rain come back, they are due soon as it is nearly Autumn.

There are places in the UK that could flood at any moment as the soil is too damp to allow the rain to drain away, and here we are contemplating Summer ending. Not looking forward to a mild wet winter.

Summer thoughts

Sunshine at last ! First shadows I have seen this week , but does it have to be so windy ? The Jetstream is well knackered this year , and they say there is no Global warming yet...

Summer ?

Another grey august day

Morning Thought

Today is another summers day turned to autumn by Global Warming ?!?

Testing e-mail from phone....

Just testing the ability to blog from my mobile via e-mail. Interesting to see if this works

Derby Peregrines

As residents of Derby we take great delight in our Peregrine Falcons nesting on the Cathedral.

Okay pigeon fanciers may not agree but the sight of these beautiful birds in the city is fantastic.

The only other place nearby we have seen them breeding is the quarry at Breedon on the Hill.

Go to http://derbyperegrines.blogspot.com/ for more info on this years brood and what has been found since they fledged.

Countdown to Cropredy
