Hi everyone, my name's Cain Scrimgeour and the latest addition to the Young Birder Blog. I'm 18 years old, and from Whitley Bay. I've been birding properly for 6 years now, although I always had a passion for the outdoors, wildlife with birds being my main interest. I've been lucky to have been blessed with the outdoor, nature loving, wild gene which a hand full of us share in these modern times. I've...

References to Gordon Brown's "lavish claims" and "ten thousand quid's worth of cleaning" ( Simon Hoggart's sketch , 13 October) are silly and unfair. Your front-page report ( PM ordered to repay £12,000 of expenses , 13 October) describes the £10,716.60 as claimed over a five-year period. That is less than £179 per month. This is not a "lavish claim"...

Didn't get back in last night until 23:30, but considering I was still up in Perth just before 17:00 that's not bad going. When you consider I had to drop salmon magnet and north west BNP organiser, Clive Jefferson back in West Cumbria such a trip could only have been achieved by engaging warp drive at Penrith. Consequently, my fuel efficiency was poor knocking my average for the whole adventure down...

Solo Sunday 30th August. The Cumbria Guitar Show. I’ve played every year at this guitar show for a decade now, and possibly a bit longer. It was seven years ago when Rick Kemp just happened to walk in during my set, an event that resulted in that historic landmark in the world of folk-rock, the merging of Steeleye Span with myself. Well, in our house it’s an historic landmark. Just before...

So this was the beginning of a week that would test my powers of endurance, the suspension of my new car and the limits of my bank balance. It all began so innocently! I have a very dear old friend called Andy Blundell who I know from way back when we were pub buddies back in deepest darkest Essex and The Hoop Pub in Stock near Billericay. I had not seen Andy since 1997 but somehow we had just about...
