I know I can’t feed all birds everywhere, I would see no one, or nothing starve. I can’t even feed all of the local wildlife all of the time. But I do what I can. What that means is that some of local birds and the odd squirrel get a rather nice breakfast of groundContinue reading “1009 – baby starlings”

Who is Dave Ford you may well ask? If you don’t use YouTube at all, Dave is one of those people who makes it worthwhile to do so. Dave has done quite a few videos of his walks, mostly around Dorset, but some around Hampshire as well. He’s out with Logan his whippet usually doingContinue reading “1008 – Dave Ford”

I have been distracted and nearly forgot to do my blog. Unforgivable. It’s going to be a dreadful posti am really sorry,

I think I first encountered podcasts around 2003. At that time I had a regular two hour drive to work. I bought my first iPod, Now, I do liked a bit of music, but not much, I know what I like and am not interested in the rest. So what could I put on thisContinue reading “1006 – Podcasting v Vlogging v Blogging”

It was a lovely bright day. The only job I had to do was to sort this mornings bin, it’s the grey bin – normal household stuff. That done, I had breakfast, but first, I loaded up the bird table. It didn’t take long for the babies to arrive, and the parents weren’t far behind.Continue reading “1005 – Bank Holiday”

Today being Sunday I delayed loading the bird table for two reasons; the first is the squirrel, they are greedy. I’m happy that they clear the table of the previous days meals, but I’d really preferContinue reading “1004 – Starlings”

We did a little bit in the garden, and then spent some sitting at the bottom of the garden. First, I put the morning breakfast on the bird table.Continue reading “1004 – A sunny day”

Usually in the morning after I get back from my walk one of the things I usually do is a post on Facebook. Usually three or four paragraphs something about the walk, the antics of Misty the cat, visitors to the bird table, and anything else that takes my fancy. I’ve been having a bitContinue reading “1003 – The Morning Walk”

I should stress that the header picture is nothing at all to do with Dorset. That august county is the subject of a book by author Jon Woolcott which I am currently reading. I have to say that I like the style of writing, it’s straightforward, humorous, sometimes self deprecating and entertaining. It’s an easyContinue reading “1002 – Real Dorset”

When I got back from my morning walk, I sat with the iPad and Facebook open. I really wanted to write something, but for some reason I couldn’t bring my self to do it. It wasn’t writers block, well, yes I suppose it was, because I just could not think of what to write. TheContinue reading “1001 – shall we carry on?”
