(Commentary is from when this page was put up in a private section to show my friends my new house.  Pre-Facebook, obvs.)

You know you're in for trouble when you get a 'phone call from your lawyer starting "You know how you were supposed to complete on your house today...?"

Death of a Tree

So one stormy Saturday morning a tree near my house blew down into someone's front garden.  When a neighbour 'phoned the council the lady who answered said that they were a bit busy, so she didn't know when they'd be able to turn up.

About an hour later two lorries rocked up.  In the poring rain they had the tree down, cut into smaller pieces, and in the back of the lorry ready to ship out in about another hour.  They even left a bit of a stump so the kids could still use it as a goalpost.  Makes you wonder how fast they are when they're not busy!

Although the drummers were keeping the pace when we got there, when we got home we could hear the police van at the front getting the siren to do a "whoop-whoop" noise, which was echoed by the procession.

Rough and ready, unedited set of pics from Andy's Loukes' stag do. There might be some dodgy quality ones, as I just uploaded as quickly as possible.

Norfolk Birdwatching, December 2004

A trip to Norfolk, looking for King Eider at Titchwell, Rough-legged Buzzard, and Lesser Yellowlegs at Stiffkey. We got the latter, but the light was so bad that hardly anything came out from that leg of the trip - which is a shame, as we got some great views of Redshank on the banks of some of the channels.

Titchwell was pretty good for Robins - they came extremely close - and some waders, but the light was variable and so action shots were right out.

Colwick Country Park, December 2004

These shots are from the Notts RSPB "Tinsel Walk" pre-Christmas trip to Colwick. There's some debate as to whether the Red Crested Pochards are countable - they seem to be in every other county, as they're now a self-sustaining population, but some people in Nottingham don't seem to agree.
