Well that was a bit bloody good. @JamesBlunt in Manchester was rather excellent and I loved it when he asked if anyone in the audience was made to listen to Back to Bedlam as a child, my 23 year old Daughter was screaming out “Yes” :-) #nextgeneration

I have come to the conclusion in life that there are three types of people, those that see and avoid the Spiders web in a grassy, dewy field, those that see and walk right through them and those that don’t even notice, I avoid those people in the middle camp and educate the rest.

Dear @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK - can you please let Jamie in your #accessibility team know that he is amazing. My wife called up to discuss her parents account today and he dealt with it compassionately, kindly and without any fuss, really made the whole conversation easy. Thank you x

2wks ago this was a field full of life - teasels, hawksbeards & campions. At least 8 pairs of nesting Skylarks, 1-2prs Yellowhammer and a pair of Reed Buntings - gone. Landowner’s prerogative of course, but depressing to witness #birding

I headed to Poland 🇵🇱 to enjoy the wide range of Central European breeders, and had four most wanted; singing Aquatic Warblers, seeing Great Spotted Eagle & White-backed Woodpecker on European breeding grounds & finally seeing (not just hearing) River Warbler. Mission successful!
