Mabel and I go back a long way. When I first met her, she and George were a couple, and they visited my garden several times a day … for years.

But with only two days in … Continue reading Raven Watching at the Tower of London

As I look forward to watching the currently taping first episode of the last season of Game of Thrones, I’m also addicted to following the real life epic drama going on right outside my window … Game … Of … Nests! It’s a tense, political and, at times, violent tale. Marvin and Mavis have been … Continue reading Game of Nests
