What a day. Started off nice and sunny with a chill breeze. Then snow (it blew under the machinery that I was fixing and got me smack in the face). Then sunshine. Then snow. Then hail. Did get this photo. #TreeClub

Sitting warming up after a hard day at the spanner face my phone reminded me of this (pre #TreeClub) view from Rio de Janeiro. Also reminded me that the weather should be warming up soon…

Why are cyclists in the countryside such insufferable, self righteous, pricks? Colleague just told me that on one farm the signs on the footpath saying (with council backing) “no cycling” have been torn down in past 24hrs. With bicycle tyre tracks going up to signs….

As I am spending most of the day under farm machinery attempting to fix the various issues, I thought that I would just share this. The Acer outside the house thinks it is Spring. Whereas my back on the cold concrete in the barn says that it is definitely Winter. #TreeClub

Wish me luck folks, off to try to get back from Dorset to Surrey without falling foul of potholes or idiot drivers who don’t see motorbikes. Delays inevitable as roadworks on all routes now. Just in time for tourist season….

A bimble along the River Asker in Dorset today for something different. Lovely weather for it. For a change. #TreeClub

So Starmer gets as riled as he can pretend in HoC over the Travelodge attack & attacker being given key to get in the room. Yet he is intent on effectively doing the same thing to the country - letting boat loads of young males from countries where VAWG is normal without checks.

Walking Hound this morning I was tying to think of a period in our history where those running the country were as hated as the current bunch of self serving, time serving bureaucrats. I could only think of the period around 1381. & that didn’t end well.

Even more daffodils have appeared in the patch of woodland and make a very pleasant sight in some welcome evening sunshine. The photo really doesn’t do the sight and sheer number of daffodils justice. #TreeClub

So, disappointed at @ZelenskyyUa not starting WW3 with a nuclear power, @realDonaldTrump has decided to start his own conflict with potential nuclear power to ensure that if there is another World War then the USA will at least be on time for it rather than late, as previously?

Nice afternoon/evening for a walk with Hound. Bit chilly in the breeze but sunshine, some blue sky & a lovely sunset behind one of my favourite trees. #TreeClub

A great day for getting outdoors. Less so when clearing out chicken coops and runs. So went for a bimble in the woods with Hound, looked up & saw this oak - magnificent against a blue sky. Yes, a blue sky. No clouds. No rain. #TreeClub

Sunshine, daffodils and trees. No breeze and no lake, so the daffs weren’t fluttering and dancing (known in the family as “doing a Wordsworth”), but very enjoyable all the same. #TreeClub

A quick stop off and outing in the mist this morning on way to work for Hound. The lone all in the field was looking a bit eerie in the early morning murk. #TreeClub

Heard today, a cry that sums up the most middle class crisis in the U.K. today - “there is only one avocado in Sainsbury”. Also in Sainsbury- twats who don’t realise that trolleys have wheels so you don’t leave them in the middle of the aisle while you go to other end of store.

A couple of offerings for #TreeClub - a tree stump that is being reclaimed by nature and providing life support for other plants, and proof that the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is actually trees.
