It was 50 years ago today ...

The first page from my earliest attempts to record my #nature observations - a visit to #FlatfordMill in #Suffolk, #England. Passive language reflecting school instructions on science writing. Also an overuse of the word "also".

Roker's Cat & Dog Steps Beach on Sunderland's seafront looking just stunning in the bright warm sunshine of late August.
Must admit, that on a day like this (Monday morning), this is probably one of my favourite views along our lovely stretch of coast.
On an in-coming tide, love seeing the sunlight sparkling on the sea, reflecting the clear blue skies and contrasting against the golden sandy beach below.

Well, this was an interesting find on my brief trip to my friend's allotment this early evening! Unfortunately, I hit it with my trowel whilst digging the last of the spuds. Mx. Fox is going to be unhappy when they find their duck egg isn't as fresh as they would like 😕 #duckeggs | #kent | #england

Man könnte ja eigentlich auf die bahnbrechende Idee kommen, für eine #Zuckersteuer mal bei den ganzen sozialistischen Nachbarlàndern in #Europa schauen, die das schon haben. #England zum Beispiel.

Oder man denkt sich wieder irgendeine völlig hirnrissige Geschichte aus, die von Sekunde 1 wieder ein Debakel wird....

Caution!
Mind your head
Mind the step

So when I tailflop up the step, then I tailflop with my head against the luggage rack?

Must have been a human who made this train...
