Ice Bucket Challenge

Byadmin

Here is me getting wet!!!

The Ice Bucket Challenge has gone viral and for good reason. It offers a laugh at the sight of others suffering momentarily while creating awareness for a disease that I had never heard of before, ALS
The ALS researchers are looking for funding to find a drug to help combat the detrimental effects of this terrible disease.
If my three nominees – Bruce Oldfield, Liza Goddard, Susan Hill, accept the gauntlet I have thrown their way, I will try to post their videos here too, with their permission

If this has given you even a moment’s pleasure, please click on to www.ALS.net and donate a pound/dollar/euro or two

I am still trying to dry off!

Have a great weekend

Birds and bees

The birds are back. Our Short-toed Eagles. Four were spotted by our new caretaker yesterday, circling above our woodshed. I saw two or even three ( a distant speck that might have been a third one) a week or so back, which was a little early for them. They spend their winters in Africa and…

Spring is stepping out

Byadmin

Spring is stepping out, putting on her finery, dressing the land in colour while the honeybees are about gorging on the almond and rosemary blossoms; the olive trees are pruned, the burning of the excess foliage has been completed and now sawing of what should be sufficient wood for the rest of this century is…
