working in the land of story 3

Yes I have been back again to Methwold that land of flood and fever, well it was in the early 1600,s now a very productive piece of fenland I cant help wondering what the inhabitants of the area pre drainage would make of it now.

Enough though what about today well this time there are pictures, oh yes.

 Now let this be a warning to you about security of equipment, they are so security conscious they even have guard dogs on the equipment, allbeit small dogs.

And you are never really alone out there, eyes are watching you for any false move.

Has to be the best of many pictures I have tried to take of Common Lizard, it was half eight and the temperature was already 23 degrees centigrade and yet this one is still catching some rays before heading off to hunt or hideup.

There has to be a story or two here from now let alone the original story I keep going on about.

What a few days

Its has been one of those weeks and its not over yet workwise either. Hopefully though I might get a chance to relax something which I think I have earnt this week.

Whats happened then well two days gardening as per usual, then the last three have been a tad different but very enjoyable. I have been helping out a local ecologist on a development site in Norfolk, a bit of work with reptiles and good fun it was as well, common lizards and a grass snake. Been long days though with the travelling and fitting in a garden or a bat survey when I got home.

Did get a bit wet today but yes we do need the rain still, and after all trousers get dry eventually.

Little brother is still doing well although the rain he has had has been very heavy and unfriendly. The worst was from Tongue round to Ullapool steep roads not made very welcoming by heavy rain. The Tongue Hotel deserve a really big thank you from Robin, there hospitality was incredible and he is very grateful for all you did for him as someone raising money for Marie Curie.

He is now away on the islands again, he landed at Stornoway Wednesday evening after a rough boat trip and is looking forward to his cycling there as he knows it will be quiet with a bit of wild camping which he loves for good measure. New photos coming up.
