• I’ve been so busy since Christmas, I’ve decided to do nothing today – and so far I’ve succeeded. I went to have a look at a really bad auction, just a load of old rubbish and now I’m going to slob out in front of the TV.

    There comes a time when your brain needs a rest!


  • Walking back from my supper
    On the pub I passed what appears to be Snaresbrook Courts accross a pond full of irritated ducks and geese and swans. ( it’s scold night. I guess they’re feeling it too.)

    On the side of Snaresbrook road there is an old oak tree and tonight it is dusted in snow. My instincts told me tobtry and take a picture, even though it really was quite dark and there was only sodium street light. But what I got was this great, Blair Witch kinda picture. It’s a bit of avdpooky place at night. Half edge of London and half edge of Epping Forest. Oooer!


  • On my way to London, to visit the Forest School in Snaresbrook tomorrow, I nodded off to sleep while leaving Swindon. I woke as we pulled into the next station.
    All I could see on the platform was a sign saying Parkway. Being half befuddled with sleep I assumed it meant Bristol Parkway, which would have me going in the wrong direction!

    I asked the guy behind me where we werejust as I noticed the rest of the sign – Didcot Parkway – phew!
