How much is the RSPB badge worth?

About £50!

Check out these binoculars on the RSPB web site and then take a look at these from Argos. I've looked at the specs and the images and can't see much difference.

I'm a member of the RSPB and I'm happy to support them but this looks to be a bit over the top for the logo.

One day like this

So throw those curtains wide! One day a year like this'd see me right!

I took this shot at Pickering and today I finally spent a bit of time finding out what it is. It's a mix of cod liver oil and unsweetened orange juice and it was popular during the war as a way of giving children vitamins and minerals they might otherwise have lacked. It reminds me of the cod liver oil and malt that we were given as children. Any malt in my diet now still comes in liquid form and is generally in Guinness or another stout.

Lovely van but I'm not sure how traditional it is!

Welcome to the Crab and Winkle Line Trust

Welcome to the Crab and Winkle Line Trust

I'm blogging this for Phil. During our trip to Canterbury I mentioned the Crab and Winkle line and he suggested that we walk along it - all the way to Whitstable. For those not familiar with the geography of the area that's about 6 1/2 miles! What kind of madman would contemplate a trip of this distance on foot?
