Im looking for a word

Can you help me please I am looking for a word a descriptive word for a special sort of person.

I think he/they is/are male and I suspect youngish. I suspect he/they has/have no qualms, morals or guidance.

What has he/they done?

Upset my Mum.

Mum lives in sheltered accommodation in Chatteris. Last Saturday morning she told me about sheds being broken into on the site, at her shed they had moved a bin and been disturbed I think but they did break into about three others that night. Mum was very nervous especially about her shed, why, because it contains her walker, the thing that helps her get about outside.

Since then a couple more sheds on the site have been broken into, what are they taking, tools.

Today I get another call from Mum, at about half nine last night someone was seen squatting close to bushes near her backdoor, when challenged by someone on the site they ran away. Mum is now very nervous and wondering when her shed will get broken into.

As for him/they well I am looking for a word. I am thinking of various mind you. I am also wondering what on earth is going on these days when elderly folk whether my Mum or not are seen as fair game for ripping off and robbing and upsetting. I see and hear of a lot of it while gardening.

Now whats the word I am thinking of.




Seeing the view for the view

So when you look over a landscape whatever you might think of it what do you think.






Doesn't look too inspiring does it but there's something very special about that view.

In the distance bricks are being made, so! to make bricks you need to dig for clay, and! Well this is the area where the 8 log boats made thousands of years ago were found. Might not mean much to some but what else is down there waiting to be found.

saw this sign

I carried out a Green Flag Mystery shop a week or so ago and on the play area was this sign. I love the way they are getting the message across.


history in the making

Oh yes folks real life history in the making, a big crane included.


The first time sails have been on the windmill at Burwell for 40 years.

Whats in a name

Been doing some survey work for birds on a site near Peterborough this year, due to finish early in 2014.

To the side of the site is a lovely little fenland drain.

Whats its name?

Pig Dyke!

Toll free A14 and lower electric bills

So we have the news this afternoon that the A14 if it ever gets improved will not be a pay as you use road. Interesting and not a U turn apparently. The thing at the back of my mind though is how will they finance the difference.

Was there a clue the other day?

We had the announcement that the rises in energy prices would be less than announced as the Green element was being added to general taxation. Well which part of general taxation please tell us, will you cut something to fund it or can we all guess, up goes our tax again.

Cant remember swallowing the fly

This will come as a shock to some, I was working hard today.

So working hard in a garden and I get this bitter taste in my mouth and the urge to cough and cough, eventually what comes up, a small spider.

So was it waiting for a fly or was I just lucky it didn't get any worse!!!!!!!!!
