Musings of life in an area of chalk downland with its abundance of wildlife but only a few miles from London. Sunday, 14 October 2012. I always find Autumn to be a peaceful time. There is a sense of things settling down for a well earned rest and, to be honest, I would like to join them as I feel tired. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Biggin Hill, United Kingdom.

Downland Views: December 2013
http://downlandviews.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Musings of life in an area of chalk downland with its abundance of wildlife but only a few miles from London. Sunday, 8 December 2013. Last Post (for a while). I have legitimately been able to forget the housework and go off exploring the countryside as the doctor said walking would strengthen my knee and help with its recovery following the op. It has worked.I am now pain free! I have also visited the various parts of Saltbox S.S.S.I. The area we overlook from our bungalow is very disapp...As did the As...

THE WESSEX REIVER: Flying Ant Day
http://wessexreiver.blogspot.com/2015/08/flying-ant-day.html
A man cannot drift up into a corner of some green lane, and stay in his cottage out of the tide of life, as was once the case. The tide comes to him." Richard Jefferies 1883. Sunday, 2 August 2015. Christmas comes but once a year was the title of a 1930's short film, and in most years this is undoubtedly true. However in August 2015 the Festive Season began early, four months early, and with a nod to Rudolph involved a species of animal we don't expect to see on the wing - ants to be precise. This mass e...

Downland Views: I Blame the Weather
http://downlandviews.blogspot.com/2013/08/i-blame-weather.html
Musings of life in an area of chalk downland with its abundance of wildlife but only a few miles from London. Sunday, 4 August 2013. I Blame the Weather. Thankfully when we took my mother to visit a Lavender farm that is not too far away there were plenty of bees (although hardly any honey bees). I therefore decided that this year I would brush cut and rake the area of the field directly behind us before these plants went to seed. Here is a picture showing Superman Sean shearing a shaggy sheep in shimmer...

Pictures of wildlife, places of interest and my garden. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Another surprise for me this Winter, a Redpoll! Punk Mergansers* Sawbills rank amongst my favourite water birds.

THE WESSEX REIVER: May 2014
http://wessexreiver.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A man cannot drift up into a corner of some green lane, and stay in his cottage out of the tide of life, as was once the case. The tide comes to him." Richard Jefferies 1883. Tuesday, 20 May 2014. Spring cleaning after an Orkneyinga Saga - part 1. Orkney from Thurso beach. So what has all this to do this posting? By the end of the 10 days I still had £180 left and that included paying for 2,100 miles worth of diesel. Where am I going with this? Tickets for the ferry. Hoy from Hoy Sound. Their colours, li...

Wednesday, 29 October 2014. October 29th 2014 - Before dawn. Being English of course the first thing I did was to make a nice cup of tea, before switching all the lights off in the house, ventured onto the seating area in the garden. And so I experimented - 10 second exposures and hurling the camera around like a madman. I like ...
