This beggars belief, no-one should have the right to look at anyones bank account. They can ask for bank statements if needed but they should not have an automatic right to any account 😠

Proud to say my brother was one of the four, he was the one walking his dog when he spotted the lady in trouble, he didn’t make the call though that was someone else. The medals are impressive, hallmarked solid silver.

Young rabbit in the garden munching on my plants and sparrows are busy getting stung by ants whilst they try and feed on flying ants.

So we want to save energy by insulating homes, external insulation (EWI) has just been carried out on two streets where I live. We also want t stop using plastic and letting it enter our natural world. Well I can confirm that EWI causes massive amounts of plastic pollution when the polystyrene blocks are cut. Even though I didn’t take advantage of the EWI installation I swept mountains of it up (the contractors didn’t) and I am still seeing it lying in my garden and in the street months on 😠

Just for anyone that’s interested I’m keeping off social media for a bit.

A walk around the city of Durham in North East England this afternoon and it looks like they're expecting the start of the rainy season!

Walking through the woods today on the banks of the River Wear in Croxdale, just south of Durham in North East England.
The bridge in the background carries the busy East Coast Mainline between London's Kings Cross and Edinburgh's Waverley railway stations.
Love how the fresh leaf canopy is so bright and vibrant when backlit in the strong Spring sunshine.
