Sunday

First of all remember this is February 18th. Nobody should be mowing the lawn in mid-February. We've had some wacky weather. I drove to Whitchurch on Friday evening through torrential rain. The return journey was hampered by thick fog. Yesterday was warm and sunny. Only a week previously we'd had about 30cms of snow and storm force winds before that.

So if next week we have a heatwave I wouldn't be at all suprised.

And here's Wilson - or at least the back half of him - I think there's something fascinating at the bottom of this redundant badger sett.
