I still haven't gone out, slight change of plans, but I wasn't expecting Cookie to go hunting for eagle owls in my neck of the woods (literally).

It's good to hear a good Black Country accent even on the posh side of the city ;)

If anyone wants to give me the loan of a thermal camera I'll do some nice footage of little birds I can hear but can't see and maybe even a giant predator like this

YouTube autoplayed The Short Heath Boys - Born to Drink Mild recorded at the closest music venue to my home but as I'm a Willenhall boy I had to look up the official video to their We'm From Willenhall :)

I've been to most of the places in that video in the last couple of weeks despite being closer to Wolverhampton city centre now.

We've got locks in our blood.

Notre musique est une réaction, qui parle de politique, de santé mentale, de la vie en général...Ce sont des thèmes qui nous traversent tous.

I learned freedom riding the Midlands cuts by bike. I still explore cities by bike, on foot, and by car, always chasing that same feeling of discovery just around the corner.
