I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been walking around the cockle ponds and there has been an Egret feeding. They are very nervous birds and would normally fly away as soon as I got within about 40 yards. This morning, as the ponds were being emptied, this one was seriously focused on the bottom of the pond and completely ignored me. Even when I was within about 10 feet it didn’t budge and it was me that walked away rather than it flying off, which is the right way it should be.
Anyhow, last night, I made the effort to get to the latest council meeting The instructions say to arrive at the chambers by 1750. I had to rush and arrived at 1754, I really didn’t expect to get in, but luckily, one of the councillors was running almost late, and let me in. The meeting started at 1800.
I guess the main thing that was discussed was the Governments proposal for devolution, that is changing the local government structure, merging smaller authorities into bigger units. The council were against anysuch move, as were members of hte other parites.
In the end though it turned into one of hte shortest meetings I’ve been to yet, closing at 1825, not even half an hour. Still it was interesting, and I shall look to go to the next one.
