Not so much of the old thank you :D I may feel decrepit, but in the CDR gloom I am sure I look younger than my years 😂 Those jellyfish sure give a flattering light especially as I’m operating with one eye at the moment :D

Hello Lyn. Hope all is well with you :) Joe’s Bro has gone freelance, acquired a lovely French girlfriend and they bought a flat together last year (that’s an apartment for our friends overseas :D ) Life is treating him well, but he is in IT which helps with the salary to afford to buy a...

Good mornooning CDR dwellers! Sorry I don’t pop in much these days. Life has taken over and I have had to do a lot of adulting of late which hasn’t been great. The last month has included my Mum’s death, surgery for a macular hole in my right eye and my father in law having surgery for...

Good afternooning all. Life gets busier at the rescue where baby birds are still the main focus. Here’s a baby blackcap that hasn’t yet grown its tail who has captivated all of us. It has bags of personality This is a European Robin (no relation of the US Robin). They have adorable punk...

Unfortunately I have seen this too late. I am so sorry. I got up atthe crack of dawn and have been out all day :( This chart explains the initial steps Assuming it has to go to rescue, then pop it in a box somewhere warm and quiet until you can get it there. You can offer water by dipping an...

Which particular rumour about Catherine are you referring to? The poor woman gets so much said about her that most of it just passes us by!

Our badger cubs have all been named after musicians… Freddie (Mercury) Elton (John) Jeff (Beck) Dolly (Parton) Ozzy (Osbourne) are the ones that come to mind. We have admitted 19 cubs so far … and it’s hard to remember them all!

This is the video of the Queen with Paddington Bear which led into the band Queen playing “We will rock you”

Good mornooning all. Our road had a platinum jubilee celebration yesterday afternoon - just as well because the weather has turned very stormy since! We have a shared drive and front lawn with 2 neighbours which made for a suitably large area for picknicking while the children made their own...

Sorry to hear you have been so unwell. I hope you’re back on form soon Maggie. x

Yes. It’s breaking news. The Daily Mail has the story now and it’s on their MailOnline website now. It’s definitely gone viral!

Good evenooning all. i just had to share this Instagram post from the rescue where I volunteer. We had a most unexpected visitor. Now I am no fan of Mr Depp, nor his ex wife for that matter, but it’s still extraordinary to have someone like him turn up at our little wildlife hospital!

Daughter is doing OKish. Her ankle is recovering but a cold after her covid gave her sinusitis which triggered a return of the Labyrinthitis (Vertigo) she suffered in 2020. It’s been a miserable couple of years for her, JoesDad and I are currently in Paris for the tennis at Roland Garros so you...

A few more from Shetland which was remote, windy and fabulous! This bird is a proper rarity. A Bluethroat that should have been in Siberia. We were incredibly lucky to be the ones that spotted it while on the island of Fetlar. This is a Broch. About 2500 uears ild, it’s a defended...
