| We have been hearing robins in the yard early in the morning. Also saw a tit of some sort; too far away to judge what sort, but the way it hung from a branch was very titmouse like. Heard a couple of ... |

| You could of course try real smoke. Clean sawdust isn't too difficult to get hold of. Just have to know what it comes from. |

We don't seem to have any robins around the yard still. Not sure why; avian flu, otherwise engaged, too many birds of prey?

| An interesting idea, and look forward to hearing more about the trials. The only thing in that report that I found disturbing was that this ship was used to ferry partially completed vehicles from Eur ... |

| Sorry, but their report is riddled with errors. Woodland is not generally certified as sustainably managed, but the FC rules mean that in effect it is. I regret to say that Wildlife Trusts are not the ... |

I assume these statements made in odd places and to odd people get round the ONS rules on fact and figure checking. DIL had to do that for a while some time ago.

Certainly agree about Airb&b and other short term letting systems. They somehow get round the safety rules too, which is of great importance.

I have given up writing to my MP because she is useless. At least better than son's MP who is Bravermann (Suella de Ville as I prefer to call her).
