Taken By Trees
Unfortunately driving through Norfolk during an election campaign is not a terribly rewarding experience if you support anyone other than the Conservatives – it seems that every tree round our way supports Henry Bellingham. Which does mean that any efforts that I contribute to The Election Project – a photography project being run by the […]

0.127 Votes
We had our first election leaflet through the door yesterday, from the incumbent Conservative, who’s been the MP for the constituency I live in for a while now – so I was a little surprised with the line he’s leading with “Vote for change in North West Norfolk on 6th May”, because that’s surely a […]

I look up at the skies an awful lot – those who know me well know I’m perhaps unnaturally interested in clouds. So the last few days have been strange thanks to happenings elsewhere.

Exemplary
My maternal grandmother, who has lived on her own for many years now, is slowly reaching the point (because of her reduced mobility) where she’s going to have to relocate to somewhere new. As a result of this she’s beginning to divest herself of some of her belongings. Some are objects of little value and […]

Further to my ramble below. I think that it’s worth referring to a couple of things which add some additional colour to what Mr Hemingway was trying to say with regard to the state we currently find ourselves in.
