We had a pair of good binoculars for Christmas and were delighted yesterday to be able to see clearly a flock of 10+ curlew two fields away. They were having a good time in the winter wheat fields. I see there is a big bird count at the end of January - which we must do.

Been adding to my 50 things to do in 2016.
7. Read four 19th century classic literatures - Thackeray, Dickens, Elliot, Wilkie Collins. No Russian stuff the unit in my degree killed any desire for Russian classics!
8. Paint an A4 canvas - I keep sketching and playing around but have a mental block on going the whole way on a picture.
9. Ride the local bus all the way to the last stop - an hour away in Spalding! For free!
What a lovely A line dress. As you say it will be a useful pattern. When I eventually get my bus pass at 66 my state pension age I too will go on a long journey.
ReplyDeleteThere was mention of it going on this morning's local news so I am spurred on to use it a lot while the going is good!
DeleteIf bus passes are still free when I retire I will jump on and off buses all day. I plan to explore places that I have only ever heard of
ReplyDeleteSome years ago there was a radio series of two "old news presenters" going round London on their bus passes - it has inspired me!
Deletewe have a bus to Boston and thats it , doesnt come back for 12 hours either . Hope your shock absorbers are good an hour to Spalding down fen roads would kill me ..lol
