Some great memories of chasing from one site to another in the quest for the "ton". It took a while before I realized that birding is a journey, not a race, and I now treat my encounters with our natural world as a privilege, not a competition. I'm much the happier because of it.<br />Looking forward to reading about the allotment project, should be interesting! Take care and have a great 2018 - DylanDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-50681119272177253322017-12-26T05:27:59.914+00:002017-12-26T05:27:59.914+00:00Hahaha that's a good way of putting it!

Each year I love January 1st as there's the excitement of what wildlife will be seen in the coming 12 months, will it be a good year on the allotment etc. Christmas now is just an overpriced orgy of materialism....thankfully I have a husband on the same wavelength!

Nothing concrete, as yet, but the embers of an idea are certainly aglow - fancy it?<br />Wishing you, Olwyn, and family a safe & peaceful holiday season - stay lucky - Dyl & BevDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-71642855451892530162017-12-12T13:00:10.160+00:002017-12-12T13:00:10.160+00:00Small world my big sister lives in the land of the...Small world my big sister lives in the land of the rising wuzel and when down that way always pop in otterton mill.<br /> Have a good christmas and new year all the best <br /> Ronny & OlwynAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626690873732310790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-65979788379605226162017-12-11T11:02:44.018+00:002017-12-11T11:02:44.018+00:00As one guy once said to me, as we broke up for the...As one guy once said to me, as we broke up for the Christmas break, "It's an awful lot of fuss for a roast dinner!"Dylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-33068053467634444202017-12-11T08:47:35.403+00:002017-12-11T08:47:35.403+00:00Looks and sounds like a bloody good weekend.

So much expense, so much debt, so much stress and all over a couple of days that have little relevance to the Christian event that it's supposed to be.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.com
