You can’t beat a good rant for keeping your legs moving. I can thoroughly recommend it.
I like Norfolk. Yes, it’s great for cycling. And rural pubs as well.
Cheers, Alen

It???s all flat one minute, then a hill looms out of nowhere. They are usually situated in very inconvenient places, such as right in the middle of your path, or they reach their highest point right on the cliff edge ??? which is what they do on the Norfolk Coast Path.
For some reason, despite growing up on the shores of Morecambe Bay and visiting Lancaster quite regularly, I have never been to the Lune estuary. I???ve just been looking at it on Bing Maps. That???s the sort of landscape that appeals to me. Mind you, learning Russian appeals to me as well, but the chances of me progressing far are rather slim.

Flatness, wind blown flatness. The pictures reminded me of the Lune Estuary around Cockerham, and there’s an old pill box or some concrete militaresque structure there too. Fabulous sandstone outcrops and fascinating tidal birdlife. I was surprised to see the land in your pictures rear up into those cliffs. I didn’t think the Norfolk coast was like that.

And regarding the Russians. . . well, at least you know where you are with that type of clumsy totalitarianism. Our own kind does such a good impression of democracy you could almost believe in it.

I translated that bit of Russian using the Gumby Online Translator. What exactly does ‘Thank snooker he is gargle’ mean?

You should be running this country, and your hens could be cabinet ministers. I will buy shares! I have enough pebbles to build a beach anyway. That could be my venture capital! :)

Glad you dropped by. You’ve given me a great business idea there ??? a factory that makes land and fills in all the holes around the coastline. Do you fancy investing in some shares?
I’m quite a novice when it comes to keeping hens. We’ve had ours for just under two years but I wish I’d bought some decades ago because they are so easy to keep, they provide more eggs than we can manage, and they are so entertaining! They all have their own personalities as well. I think I prefer them to people, actually ??? well, some people. Not my fellow bloggers, of course.
Cheers, Alen

I’ve been to Norfolk only once, and was surprised at how flat it was! That coastal erosion is really amazing. The sea is eating our country! It’s not as if we have a factory making more land somewhere in Birmingham! I hope that your marches are productive and enjoyable and that you don’t catch cold from walking in the rain. I feel for you about the redundancy situation. If they are going to do it, they should just go ahead and do it, rather than keeping you for convenience. I agree also about your hens – hens are sadly overlooked in the intelligence department. I love the names you have given them. My Gran used to have one called Gorgeous Gussie – she was always broody. Anyway, wishing you lots of Glasnost and Perestroika (haha, I would get along in Russia just fine!)

Cheers, Alen

That’s cheered me up, David. I remember when Thatcher got in, the Cold War rhetoric was ramped up alarmingly and things got really scary for a time. And I remember the advice about hiding under the table. And there was something about leaning a door against a wall and sheltering underneath it. Eiderdowns came into it, as well. Happy days.
Just think what could have been done if all those billions of pounds hadn’t been spent on the nuclear arms race and building bunkers all over the place. I suppose that brings us round to the incompetent pillocks who are in charge of everything. If such people were barred from positions of influence then none of it would have happened in the first place.
Cheers, Alen
