A memory jerker this, the very second I clapped eyes on those 'high-collar,
side-neck buttoned shirts' it was down the road to get one! As one of the early
MODS (in oppose to Rockers - YUK!) and a model of sartorial elegance my wardrobe
already sported high-heeled almond toed boots, frilly-fronted shirts and 4-buttoned, high collared
suits (circa The Kinks). Was at one time thinking of getting an orange cravat
but didn't want to look ridiculous!
In my little world it would I would consider myself a loser if at 70 years young
I were sat here saying to myself "I wish I'd done this, or I wish I'd done that"!

WHIMBREL
which were found later in the day at
Mead Close
one of the larger fields here at
Parley Court Farm
and now planted with this years
Maize Crop.
As can be seen, these
BULLFINCHES
were, in the first instance, seen feeding on the deck not in our experience
at all common practise
but soon took to the Birches
on our approach.
The male
COOT
is now providing food for the female on the nest
at the Irrigation Pond but not exactly a banquet!
While a male
GREAT SPOTTED WOODPECKER
gleans the fence posts at the Solar panel Compound.
While also favouring the same fence line
and breeding close by
STARLING
JACKDAW
along with very healthy
GREENFICH
with no signs of the disease effecting others across the County.
Yet another short foray along the

found examples of
GREATER TUSSOCK SEDGE

and
CHERRY BLOSSOM

It is doubtful there is a Prog Rocker alive who would disagree that
Misplaced Childhood (from which Kayleigh is taken) or
Clutching at Straws (both by Marillion)
are not 2 of the most cleverly penned and musically sound
albums even composed!
