Tony's magic mixing bowl

So what is he up to?!

I can't believe it's taken me several hours today to pull together the first draft of our itinerary for New Zealand.  We've had a whole heap of useful books and magazines from JeanneB53 to work through and I've been plying her with questions about finer points.  RockArea's recent visit and journals have also been a useful resource.  It's starting to get exciting!

I just had time to top up the bird feeders and take a circuit of St Ives for some fresh air before tea.  I thought the black and yellow taped off area in the woodland meant another outbreak of Sudden Oak Disease but it turned out to be Bradford Uni students practising their crime scene skills!
