Pics from your State Sanctioned Exercise.

[Cloo]

Was volunteering in Hackney, so took opportunity for short canal stroll afterwards as sun had come out.

we took a walk through the brine fields of Knott End in the Fylde today - lovely. It's really flat round there so there seems to be at least twice as much sky as there is everywhere else.

Smash the State! Exercise #2: a picnic, a sunbathe, while the kids frolic in the sunshine.

Then down into town for fish and chips by the river.

When you go to the beach anywhere in the North West, there is always - always -
a nuclear power station in view

Fish and chips on a Sunday? Very la-di-da! You moved to London or something?

Buzzard. quite a young one.

Know naff all about birds, would like to learn more but it seems a complex subject. Just last weekend I was approached by a man as I was putting my wellies on at a popular bird place, “Are you birding?”, “No” I replied, “dogging”. “Ehrm, shit wrong word! Dog walking!!!”

he went on to tell me about some rare bird that was in the area and I had never heard of it, bendybund or some such thing.

Willington lock again. On foot this time rather than by bike. I think since Last March we have walked about a 40 miles of the Ouse in Beds and Cambs. Given it’s only 140 miles long, and for a lot of that is two straight ditches through the Fens that’s not bad.

Back to Croydon on a glorious day

Did you wink at him and nod towards your car ?

Walked down to Hackbridge today to go and see the Beddington Farmlands bird hide and (bummer) the footpath over the railway bridge was closed for 1 week.

However, on the way back my spirits were raised by this:

Norther blue plaques. The two you can barely see were behind high gates on Cheyne Walk. Marc Brunel and Isambard Brunel.

By Kings Road, just empty. You don't see people reading red tops round here
