We watch in disbelief.

BBC News fails to understand the word kidnap (again).

My brother and I met our new grand niece Evelyn for the first time yesterday. It took both of us to feed her (supervised by Mum and Granny).

Stanley is eyeing my dinner.

A lovely morning for a walk on Hornsea beach.

My Christmas Cactus has decided to go full flower.

Winter hits Hornsea with the first snow of the season. Exactly the same date as last year.

Quick trip to the Kenya / Tanzania border. Not your usual Friday enterprise.

My daughter Ruth and her best friend Sam have completed the Amsterdam marathon. As support worker, I’ve only done 7 miles!

Today’s the day.

A quick walk at Dane’s Dyke while the sunshine lasts.

Stanley has enjoyed a very sandy paddle this afternoon in Hornsea.

Grandad is a Dik Dik.

That’s it. The big 70. A few days in Cape Verde with the family to celebrate the occasion.

Stanley loved his Monday morning walk on the beach at Hornsea.

If you place a Black woman, an Irish woman, a Jewish woman & a Traveller woman, all in casual clothing, in a lineup, the Black woman's race would be the only one visually identifiable. This argument that got Diane Abbott suspended from the Labour Party but it is an undeniable truth #Istandwithdiane

Starmer is an absolute joke! When ICE agents in the US are detaining folks for their skin colour, what Abbott said is factually correct The phoney charge of antisemitism is worn out. Stop the #GazaGrnocide www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Stanley has a new collar.

We’re having a mini heatwave at the moment so Stanley is taking every opportunity to paddle

No beach this morning because of the tide but I’m sure we’ll get there later.

The mini heat wave has broken but that doesn’t mean we can’t still walk on the beach.

Peaceful protestors declared terrorists within 24 hours, Kneecap dragged into court in 3 weeks for waving a flag. It's amazing how fast the establishment can act when it wants to. The Water Companies mass sewage dumping, Grenfell, the Post Office scandal. Nothing happens, ever

Once more unto the beach says Stanley

Another lovely morning in Hornsea as Stanley and me head to the beach.

It’s going to be a fabulous day in Hornsea predict Jeb and Stanley.

Stanley was thirsty.

I went to Wembley yesterday. Things didn’t end well. Just for perspective, when I got home I found out one of my neighbours has lost her only son in a motorcycle accident. It’s just a game.

Stanley has had his summer clip. The temperature in Hornsea promptly dropped from 65 degrees to 55 degrees!

Bermuda, quite a contrast with Hornsea.

Stanley has had a busy day

A tad blowy on Hornsea north beach this morning.

Forty years ago. I remember this like it was yesterday.

Stanley wanted a paddle (as usual)

February is here
