The Hurley Bird Catches the Worm: Eleanor of Aquitaine and Our Freedoms
http://gareth-hurley.blogspot.com/2014/07/eleanor-of-aquitaine-and-our-freedoms.html
Sunday, 13 July 2014. Eleanor of Aquitaine and Our Freedoms. Without Eleanor of Aquitaine we may not have the freedoms the government is now trying to take away. 1 She became Queen of England and the Angevin Empire/Dynasty. 2 She enabled the rise of William Marshall, probably the greatest knight of his age who served Henry II and Richard I. 3 Later as Earl of Pembroke he brought King John and the rebel barons together. 4 This resulted in Magna Carta, which William signed after the death of King John.

The Hurley Bird Catches the Worm: Cardinal Nichols, Cardiff City, Reds V the Blues
http://gareth-hurley.blogspot.com/2014/05/cardinal-nichols-cardiff-city-reds-v.html
Sunday, 18 May 2014. Cardinal Nichols, Cardiff City, Reds V the Blues. In a week when Mr Fox snacked on our chickens, we needed something to lift our spirits. How nice then to see Cardinal Nichols with a Cardiff City shirt. Such a shame that he chose the red version and not the Marian blue (with yellow and white Vatican trim), so beloved of many popes. I know he got a red hat, but to empathise with Cardiff fans perhaps he should have chosen a blue hat? A blue hat for blue times. No foul language please.

The Hurley Bird Catches the Worm: Richard Vivian Huzzey RIP
http://gareth-hurley.blogspot.com/2013/09/richard-vivian-huzzey-rip.html
Wednesday, 18 September 2013. Richard Vivian Huzzey RIP. The singing of the hymn (Love Divine) was amazing - the Welsh fittingly fulfilling one of our stereotypes. It was like standing in the middle of a group of male voice choirs. The booming words echoed in the chapel. Perhaps I was too innocent, but I didn't remember that detail. What a lovely lady to chat to, just like her parents were lovely to spend time with all those years ago. It's funny the things that stick in our memories isn't it? Speaking t...

The Hurley Bird Catches the Worm: Bart Finishes the Lights
http://gareth-hurley.blogspot.com/2015/04/bart-finishes-lights.html
Thursday, 16 April 2015. Bart Finishes the Lights. Bartholomew Q. Kibble-Smythe (the spider) has finally finished the trunking over the electric wires. Let there be light! It struck me he's given to melodramatics. But a good sparky is worth his weight in gold. That's £20 with Bart. I asked him if he liked quoting Genesis and he mumbled something appreciative of Peter Gabriel (and "Collins should've kept to the drums") before scuttling away. Ever the primadonna.

http://gareth-hurley.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-pro-lifer-baby-grow.html
Saturday, 25 January 2014. The (Pro) Lifer Baby Grow. I like this baby grow. Not only is it very funny and cute, it is also subtly Pro-Life. It reminds everyone that the baby was inside his/her mum for 9 months - as were we all. No jokes about hard labour. Honest. Posted by Gareth Hurley Blog. No foul language please.
