The end of the year
Light fades in the gardens of Lower Wardown. This year, 2023, has seen many news stories, the biggest being the October 7th attacks. Naturally, many thoughts are turning to elections. Starmer perhaps, Trump again...
This month was unseasonably warm, but with some choice storms: a metaphor perhaps.
Deaths included: December 1st, the first female justice on the US Supreme Court, Sandra Day O'Connor; 7th; the popular poet Benjamin Zephaniah; 15th, actor Steve Halliwell, Emmerdale's egregious Zak Dingle and the altogether wider range of Tom Wilkinson on the 30th.

COP26 - bring the deniers to Herne Farm
As history often teaches us, everybody always knew what to do AFTER the calamity had occurred. So while the great and the good gather in Glasgow to discuss climate change, here is a photo from my home town of Petersfield. It used to happen about once a decade - Petersfield's chalky soil means rain runs away easily. But the sheer amount and frequency of these flash floods cannot be coincidence.
