Liberation 91 protest, Manchester, UK 1991 (video)
Don’t believe the big fibs that are put around by commercial vested interests today. They make out that Manchester was some kind of gay wasteland before Canal Street took off in the early 1990’s.

Delicious! Make it with minced (ground) beef or lamb. I used lamb here…

I’ve been making a few simple recipes that my mum used to do. Comfort food you could call it I suppose.

One of my favourite YouTube videos (video)
I love this, not just because it is hot. But also because it is funny in many different ways, such as the guy who walks in but then gives up and walks out.

I had an eventful five hour walk this afternoon. This is a short extract from a much longer video that I’ll be making about it. I’m laughing about this but, with a calf on the track ahead of me, I wasn’t sure whether angry mum and dad and all their friends might be able to get out the field if they reached the corner before me.
There have been a few cases of walkers being trampled to death by cattle. Especially when there are calves: BBC report.

I’m up at the house near the England/Scotland border. The back overlooks fields, hills and crags and has always been a prime location for some spectacular sunsets. I recorded 30 minutes of one tonight and then reduced this footage down to the 30-second-long time-lapse movie that you see here.
If you want the technical how-to-do-it…
A great spotted woodpecker outside my window (video)

Currently I’m in a little village near the England/Scotland border.
At 6am on Friday morning there seemed to be a lot of bird noise outside the window. I looked out and saw a crowd of sparrows and a male great spotted woodpecker (I know that because I looked it up on the RSPB website)
The first woodpecker I’ve seen in real-life. I was rather excited.
The window has that old-fashioned glass, which is why the video is a bit blurred.
