A busy garden again today and still freezing, my daughter bought over two "victoria" plum tree saplings for planting in the garden some time this week.
A dash to Farmoor this
evening for a Whiskered
Tern (2nd for Oxon?) but
unfortunately it had
moved on very quickly,
heard initially and then
just flew through to the
River Thames and
disappeared and was not
present when I/we got
there! However a ple...
Overcast, muggie,
17º, light
NNW. A walk around
Lollingdon and the Lees
produced very much the
same as last week, a lot
of insects about but few
butterflies.
Quite a few Stock Dove
noted and one seen in
display flight, a

Sunny spells,
17º, light
WSW. A visit to
Lollingdon hill this
afternoon proved
quietish, five singing
Corn Bunting, three
Yellowhammer and two
Whitethroat, two pairs of
Linnet present, a
Great-spotted
Woodpecker and a
couple of Swa...
Sunny spells,
14º,
negligible wind. A visit
to Cholsey marsh early
morning saw the mist over
the river and a slight
frost at 04:15, then a
sunny morning with cloud
moving in later and a
couple of rain showers
later in the day.
The marsh...
I finally heard
back from that agent who
had a full
submission of mine for
six months. I nudged her
twice before getting her
reply. She didn't say the
work wasn't for her, but
said, "I am not the
best agent for this..." A
new way of ...
I mentioned last week
that there were still a
couple of chunky
submissions out
there...well, heard back
from one. She was under
the impression she had
already told me she was
declining the opportunity
of representing me.
Believe me, if such an
email ...
I boldly followed up with
a couple of New York
agents this morning. One
has had one hundred pages
of Summer Must End for
over seven months. The
other asked for and
received the full
Strachan's Attic
manuscript five months
ago.
Now I know this would

It is murder to hunt down
an animal. Only
cowards would do this to
build up their ego.
Leave the animal familys
alone-let them live in
peace. NRA?
Too many guns now and why
should they be used for
torture? If hunters
are ...

We all know that we're
expected to be on our
best behavior at church,
but do we really know why
that is? Shouldn't
we be on our best

The Winter King is the
spirit of Winter and
Death. He is said to
embody our most primal
fears. He is the Guardian
of the crossroads between
the physical world and
the spiritual world. He
has a goats head and
lower body, and large
black bat wings. Be... more
