Boom!

A lovely morning.
Blue skies.
Birds singing.
Trees in flower.

All accompanied by:

ratatatatat . . . boom!
ratatatatat . . . boom!
ratatatatat . . . boom!


We don’t live that close to the Warcop Military Training Area, but on still days, when they are out, we can certainly hear them. They may call it Skills Training or Manoeuvre Exercises or some such thing, but what they are actually doing is Practising Killing People, so they get really, really good at it. So sad that we live in a world where people have to do this.

And talking of shooting – anyone who feels like I do about the landed gentry and their shooting habits, needs to read George Monbiot in today’s Guardian.


Oh dear! It was such a lovely morning as well - what have I done!.
