  • My Life and Times

    I was born in 1939 BC.
    That’s ‘Before Computers’.

    Luckily I survived the following events in my life, such as

    World War II, The London Blitz, Rationing, and worst of all… Archbishop Temple’s School.

    During the mid 1950s I was enjoying Rock ‘n’ Roll and being a first generation teenager, when suddenly, just like Elvis, I found myself in uniform during ‘The Cold War’…and then

    I became ‘a family’. Which meant that I sort of missed the ‘swinging sixties’, but still managed to look a complete prat in the 70s, just like everyone else.

    During the ‘Thatcher Years’ I lost my hair and a lot of people lost a good deal more. My career fluctuated to say the least as I was demoted, promoted, fired and hired a number of times, but still I managed to stagger on into a welcome retirement and to celebrate 60 years of happy marriage.

Caught in the act !

Posted by Big John on May 25, 2020

This is how my back yard garden normally looks around this time of the year. Unfortunately, this year, it has been neglected due to self isolation and the closure of garden centres and DIY stores. In fact it all looks a bit of a mess !  …

Now last year I often found that my young red geraniums had been uprooted from their pots and the compost in which they had been carefully planted had been scattered all over the place. Obviously one of our local wildlife visitors was responsible, but which one ?

Well it wasn’t this sneaky looking fox or his mates, because this morning I looked out of the window and saw this little bugger ..
