Red weather warning

shrieking mobile devices

  • At some point I must have signed up to weather alerts (although it looks like this might have been a central government pushed alert), and while I was just finishing up my work, all my mobile devices went nuts with a very loud alarm – I didn’t know that level of volume was even possible. It seems we might be in for a very windy night.

Serene symmetry

reflecting autumn colours

  • With many thanks to Katy from the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust who was kind enough to take my team at work on a tour of this magnificent reserve. Alas, we saw no beavers, but plenty of evidence of their activities.
