Drama in the hail. Black Beauty became bogged down on the grass. Wheels spinning. Fortunately a friendly delivery driver gave a hefty shove.

Welcome to Winnipeg, it's -43C continuing for the 3rd week in a row and we've given up complaining about it and are continuing life as usual

Blackbird singing away in the blackness of a miserable winter's evening. The sound of a far-away spring.

Took the train to Marlow earlier. Floods lapping the tracks near Bourne End. Marlow somewhat soggy with most of the park under water.

Just stepped outside. Wild and windy. Full moon. Clouds scudding. Trees swaying. A night to hunker down inside.

Excellent evening at our annual church meal at @ParksideCF. Good to catch up with @nutterfreddie and the family as well.

Windsor heaving. Queuing twenty deep for ice creams. The madness of Britain on the first warm day of spring.

Blue sky. Sun shining. Birds singing. Empty park. Cheered by news that @HollyIBray has finally made it to her first choice school. Happy.

RIP Auntie Myrtle. Now departed and with her Lord. Free from further suffering. Thank you for all the memories you've left us. x

Walking shirt-sleeved. Light at 9.20. Swifts screaming. Blackbirds chattering. Streetlights glowing in the gloaming. Glorious.

Watching a Spitfire from my bedroom window doing tricks and fly-bys. Sure kids in WW2 would be as mesmerised as I am. Awesome sound too.

Despite the low expectations, difficult not to feel disappointed. Deep down we almost dared to believe England could win.
