Heartwarming.
This will warm the cockles of your heart. These two little lads are just magic. Edward and Reuben are excellent presenters. They are our future farmers. Give them a thumbs up. They are stars in their community, and have been featured in their local newspaper. Children are our future, we must continue to fight for freedom of choice. Support our farmers.
This is their Faceboook page.
This could be the answer
Will this get rid of the nasties on the streets. Worth a try.
Summary of the knives and weapons surrender arrangements
This guidance sets out advice on how you can safely surrender and dispose of knives and bladed weapons by using a bespoke Home Office funded surrender bin which has been installed by Word 4 Weapons. The surrender scheme is operating from 3 to 31 August 2026.
A mobile surrender van will be operated by FazAmnesty and will be stationed at locations in Greater London and West Midlands on certain dates during the surrender arrangements. The mobile surrender van will provide a safe way to dispose of knives and bladed weapons.
You can read the Home Office article here. This should make us all feel a lot safer as we walk about the streets in London and Birmingham.Here is an article in the Independent about Fazamnesty.

My latest collection
Monday always seems to be a busy day for me. Crafty Club, which actually starts at 10am and finishes at 1pm. I am always an hour late though. Then home for lunch. Today was a Billy Dog walk. The temperature has dropped, so I can now go back to walking him in the afternoon. This takes about 45 minutes. Then a change of footwear. Put the boots on and the yellow vest, and off I go to do an hour or so litter picking.
I started at the permanently grottiest grot spot, to try and keep on top of the job. Across the main road from the Industrial Estate is this back ally. When I get to this point I carry on along this public footpath because I want to fill the red bag. Almost there, once I have squashed these tins flat that will be it. Only one bag today.

Fell off the back of a lorry.
The first two hedgehogs arrived tonight at 8.30pm. They are getting quite fat now. They aren't eating as much as when they first started coming. Last night a couple of them had fallen asleep while they were eating.
That's all for now. Toodle pip. ilona
Free entertainment.
I was a bit taken aback yesterday. As I was clearing litter from around the small car park at the pond, a car pulled up. I take no notice of people around me, I am in my own little world, unless someone chooses to talk to me, then I will be polite and reply.
So, a white car pulled into the small car park. All of a sudden four or five people tumbled out of it, shouting at each other. Oh dear, I wonder what they are upset about. Not my business, I carried on picking well away from them. The arguments continued, they get in and out of the car several times, lots of door slamming.
I thought, surely they will calm down soon and sort out their differences. Nope, the commotion continued for about half an hour. I wondered if it might come to someone throwing a few punches. They didn't, just continued shouting at each other.
Two of them stormed off in a huff, still shouting. They went down the path towards the pond. They came back about ten minutes later. The fall out continued. I was moving further away from them as I was clearing the area of litter.
Free entertainment I thought, you don't get that every day. Well some do if you live in a town or a city. I hope I am ok saying this, but on this occasion these people were not British. They ranted and raved in a uncomprehensive manner. Oh gawd, that's me being racist again. And they were white, another racist observation of mine.
Shall I go out today, or shall I stay in.

The wrong tribe.
Good morning.
I think enough has been said about the rise and fall of Mr Arday, but I will pop in here with my own thoughts. He was dragged into the machine of wokery to satisfy the inclusion circus which is currently an epidemic of the lefties. He was bigged up as their poster guy, and encouraged to embroider his achievements into epic proportions, to massage the egos of the ghouls who see themselves as saviours of the universe.
Universities are the slaves of those who have pumped the most money into their sausage machines. They can all be bought. They will go to any lengths to ensure that no one will get in their way as they continue their rise to fame and fortune. Mr Arday was a gift, he was sacrificed on the alter of wokery. It suited their purpose to splash his achievements, however fragile they turned out to be, all over the media.
This is what the radical left do. They drag you in. If at first it all goes well and you are accepted into the cult, eventually they will turn on you. Mr Arday suited their needs, for a while. But as soon as the press dug into his background and found it was not all it appeared to be, they left him to flounder on his own, with disastrous consequences.
We see numerous examples of lefty speak, they are easy to spot. They are radicalised to the point of being incapable of acting alone. As I have said before, they hunt in packs.
Rest in peace, Mr Arday. Sorry but you joined the wrong tribe.

Watch the birdies.
I was quick to grab my camera when the birdies came down for a bath today. Lucky that I was sat at the back window doing a bit of sewing.
I stayed in most of the day, it was baking hot again. I have been opening up the summer house. Mayze has taken to sleeping in there, during the day. It's still sweaty hot but she has found some shelter from the glaring sun.The heat was getting to me, so I gave myself a haircut. That's better. I went a bit mad and chopped a lot off.
At 5pm I decided it was cool enough to go out and check on the fly tip I reported. It is still there, not been collected by the Council yet. I had a scout round Flixborough Industrial Estate, and was pleased to see that this area has been completely cleared of brambles and rubbish. I spent ages picking litter here. I see that there is a sign at the main gate saying it is available for sale or to rent. There might be some offers forth coming now that it has been tidied up.
Call me racist. . . . . . . .

Chatting to camera
Hello Happy Thursday.
Just a quick one today after that marathon yesterday. This has just come out of the oven.
If you are confident in your own skin, some of those around you will turn away from you. You will have fewer friends and be left to your own devices, because you give the appearance of being able to cope. On the other hand, if you are down on your luck, and give the impression that you are having a difficult time, people will rally around and be happy to prop you up. Confusion arises when both sides fail to understand the needs of the other.
Eat plenty. Drink plenty. Keep busy with hobbies.

Out of control (with update)
We, as in the UK, are becoming victims of crime on a daily, nay hourly basis. In the dead of the night as we sleep the criminals go to work. Stealing anything that is not locked down, nailed down, or protected by physical barriers. Even then thieves come with the tools they need to steal whatever piece of equipment they have targeted. They are clever. Farms are particularly vulnerable to theft. In this video you see a vehicle and trailer being stolen. It will be driven out into the fields and the trailer used to steal sheep, which will then be butchered in someone's back yard.
I am copying this from facebuck. There is a six minute video.
