I'm not a fan of creepy crawlies. Rob used to post photos of Wetas. This ginormous killer attack beetle monster thing. Made my blood run cold. Look them up, they rule New Zealand under a cloud of terror 

Yes, I have to admit those things look pretty intimidating, however, it's the female Katipo you really have to look out for!

You just knew curiosity would get the better of me didn't you! The only good thing about it, is it is apparently endangered. It certainly would be if it came around here!!!!

I've been sat here for a while waiting for the clouds to form a pleasing arrangement ..............

It looks like Kay Burley having a bad hair day   

My garden see's a few nocturnal visitors.

 

I think they may well be four in total.

A few from this evening.......

Not much chance of a sunset this evening, but will settle for avoiding the rain!!

There are some talented people around

Trawl nets

Had a couple of days in the Peak District (near Cressbrook) so went for a few walks. 

We buy huge bags of bird seed, but the robins always sift out the pink bits!

 

Also came across a few mice recently. I have never noticed these before, but there appears to be mouse holes appearing everywhere.

 

Also a few pics from a recent visit to Nostel Priory

My old banger's had a wash

I was a little bit further up the same valley last weekend too.

 

Lovely moon tonight

Speedway for me this evening

I'd never been before, but would happily go again! Walking past the YHA Ravenstor house was a big eerie though! 

 

Also amazed at what you find atop a mountain

 

 

 

 

Wee pic from tonight’s walk

This evening's sunset.......

Initially had high hopes for this evening'svsunset, but it appeared to fizzle out. The sky then lit up in quite spectacular fashion about 10 minutes after the sun had set!!

Remarkable storms and rain throughout the day on Sunday, but things brightened up considerably by the evening

I bought Sally a new rose for her Birthday in March.  It came in a jiffy bag from an online supplier.  No rootball or soil, just a rather sad looking 10" long twig.  It started to sprout within days of planting, and has produced two amazing flowers.  It's still so young it's too slight to hold up the blooms, but gets full marks for its efforts so far:

Decided to listen to the football on the Radio and watch the sun go down this evening.......

I found a new spot for watching the sunset

No sunset this evening

Lake was very still this evening
