Not sure if I've mentioned it on this blog, but I once had a go at being an art historian. It was a time long, long ago, when I had been made redundant from a job in IT support (which seems to be a bit of a recurring theme in my life). Being a level headed sensible computer techie, I thought to myself 'with this redundancy cheque what I really need to get on in life is to learn about paintings'. So,...

This week's featured exhibit is the disarticulated skeleton of a northern bottle-nosed whale, Hyperoodon ampullatus - the same type which swam into London in January 2006. Due to the restricted space in the Museum's current location, only the skull and...

...... and why a Conservative victory at the next election won't make a whole heap of difference. Being no longer idle, I fall behind on my discretionary reading, so it was only last night in the bath that I read Rod Liddle's piece on Jeanie Lynch from last week's Speccie. Jeanie is ‘Lead Officer for Equality in Children and Young People’s Services for Devon County Council’. I can't...

Although many people choose to keep a rubber duck in the bath, a farmer has taken the concept a little further and decided to keep a full brood of ducklings in his sink. The ducklings were rescued by a farmer who feared they could die in the cold after they hatched six months earlier than usual. To give them somewhere to swim around, the farmer kept the ducklings in the bathroom sink until they could...

My friend Ray-Jeana Scofield, who has died of cancer aged 60, joined the staff of Aylestone school – a large, tough, ethnically diverse secondary school in the London borough of Brent – in the early 1970s. She brought to the school (now part of the Queens Park community school) her strong Welsh accent, a great sense of humour and a passion for being a good teacher. Her efficiency and dedication...

The Somerset village of Paulton welcomes the cameras and Norwich City in the biggest mismatch of the FA Cup first round How amusing it would be to catch a glimpse of the expressions on the faces of the Norwich City players as their team coach winds its way through a corner of Somerset on Saturday morning, into the village of Paulton, passing the former miners' houses dotted along Winterfield Road...

Nicolas Cage is in the middle of a public falling-out with his former business manager. One of the consequences is that he has to sell some of his properties to pay tax bills. According to the Las Vegas Sun this means he has to thin down a property portfolio which includes the following: * a mock-Gothic castle in Midford, Somerset. You can view it here if you're interested. * a townhouse in Bath....

I've spent a lot of time lately with reflections, both in my head and my camera. What a wonderful Autumn we're having here in the U.K., and to make it even better, my dear friend came to visit for a few days, she drove all the way from the Jura region in France, bless her! We walked in the Forest of Dean with the birds and the sunshine. Rowan swam in the ponds and tried her best to spoil my mirror...

Last time I stood for election in Stockwood, I warned that 'they're moving the countryside further away'. Sure enough, it's all beginning to take shape now. A new town in our own back yard. While development plans for the Ashton Vale/ Barrow Gurney green belt have been hitting the headlines recently, we've not heard so much about the equally controversial bid for massive development along south-east...
