Well we had a
wonderful time in Yorkshire last week, I got tons of photos, which would be
really useful if my computer would actually read the card with them on, however
at the moment it is on strike about pretty much everything. In fact yesterday
my download speed on Business Broadband was .3 of a megabite!!! Well done BT, I
suspect I may be changing my provider unless they can improve it. Someone is
coming tomorrow and I hope he can get a better result. I guess that is the
problem of living in a rural area.
Charlie has done
really well at Duncombe, all five aviary blocks that are being built this year
are up, some further along than others, but all looking very good. The iZone is
up and Anabelle’s housing on site is at ‘first fixings’ (that means the
electrics and water have to go in before plaster boarding and then decorating.
It is going to be a very nice little ‘house’ and one that Anabelle will quickly
make her own.
The Hawk Walk is
very different from ours (once I can have another big fight with my computer, or
rather probably Adam will) I will show you in pictures!! (beat it!) But is well on in the
building phase. We spent the morning driving up, the afternoon up there and the
evening eating an excellent meal of Pork Loin with cream and peppercorn sauce
and rice – uuummmmmm!
We got there in
3.5 hours and back as well, although I did feel very sorry for the poor buggers
on the northbound M42 – they were in a huge and I mean huge tailback that went
on for miles – and was it a blocked lane – oh no!! There was a problem with
some cars on the hard shoulder and all the rest of the hold- up was complete
morons slowing down to look, I have to say I think that is one of the most
disgusting aspects of humans, why do they do it and why make life miserable for
thousands of others that you hold up while you are gawping at something which
is NOTHING to do with you!! The cost to all the people in the queue in terms of
fuel, time and frustration is huge and all because you idiots who do it cause
the holdup. You are in my opinion despicable!!
The dogs were
pleased to see us when we got home and then Anabelle and I had supper, and that
we think is where the next problem started. Both she and I spent all night with
throwing up and diarrhea!! Lovely, I still don’t feel great and Anabelle finally
gave up and drove home, it turned out to be a bug that John gave us – thanks John,
because Angela got it and so did Sue.
We had a good
weekend although it appears that the audience is great one day and dead the
next at the moment, its surprisingly difficult to work with an audience that is
giving nothing back, and just wonderful when they respond and are lovely!!
Although it has been very humid the last few days so perhaps that accounts for
it.
Art has new
shoes on so hopefully we will get out again if the rain allows, we had an
absolute downpour today, the paths suffered a little, but are nearly back, my
courtyard flooded, which was particularly annoying as I had spent two hours
last night giving it a spruce up. And the water was pouring down the back steps
in a serious torrent, however it only lasted about half an hour, I would love
to know how much rain we had!!
The female Tawny
Eagle is now jumping A frame to A Frame which is great. All the baby owls are
coming on a treat. Holly’s Tawny Owl Orion is cracking in the wood, although
the small birds get annoyed when they see him. Michele’s Ashy Faced Barn Owl is
charming – Lyra – and very beautiful. And I have a Lesser Kestrel chick in a
box at my feet, who I hope is going to be wonderful, I love Lesser Kestrels,
they are so pretty.

Interesting information, many thanks.
I hope the weather picks up this weekend, so that I can visit the centre again. This grotty weather is a nuisance.
