I know what happened to Gene Hackman was awful, his doppelgänger is alive and well and drinking wine in an Italian alpine bar. #GeneHackman
Playing Cloud spotting with a German lady in the bar. Brian the 🐌!!! #cloudspotting
First day of our Italian camper van holiday. Been a long day (up at 0315) but our camp site at Lake Maggiore is pleasant enough and the van is a big old boy. 40 Alpine Swifts the only avian highlight so far.
Cinemas are a bit more comfy than Sheffield Gaumont in the late 70s watching Pete’s Dragon #TheOdyssey
Big dog walk down by the river with the almost dry new workings not providing anything decent. Tufted duck with babies was 👌, probable Small red eyed damsel was also a good ✔️ #northantsbirds #northantsdragonflies
Lucky 🪰 swatter has had a rebrand after a staring role against Norway. #Engerlaand #HMSSheffield #ENGvARG
Couldn’t sleep after the football, so took the dog for a walk. First picture is called Azteca tears, 2nd one is called Altitude Shmaltitude
Hobby the avian highlight, lots of drags and butterflies. Long walk with the pooch over the fields, by the river and through the new workings #northantsbirds
