Gin quaffing, Private Eye reading, tweed wearing, forest-dwelling Land Agent. Three children & a pointerdor. *My views are my own*

“Keep a firm grip”. Good advice for life as well as the workplace!

Mustardy pork with apples. I hope that it will taste as good as it smells - lots of autumnal flavours.

Great week out with our senior cadets in Norfolk with some added realism courtesy of the 7th Special Operations Squadron @ArmyCadetsUK

What could possibly go wrong?

A fabulous afternoon treat from @simplycakeco - a fine selection of mouthwatering brownies to enjoy alfresco courtesy of @bridgetwhipsin. They didn’t last long!

As typos go, this one is spectacular. It should read “£500”.

A beautiful evening at Weybourne.

What a fabulously simple farm diversification and extremely popular it is too! https://t.co/8DjRi43vML #FatCow #Fakenham #Beef #IceCream

The beautiful Castle Acre Priory looking glorious in some welcome sunshine.

First time since working for @ForestryEngland that I’ve encountered ticks. Three on my trousers just walking to the boot of my car. Rather feels like a rite of passage. Be tick safe! #ticks #LymeDisease

Quite the party for breakfast this morning. Three sets of ducklings off the pond this year and five moorhens for good measure.

[Duncan Slade @NorfolkTweed]

@Colne_Magna @Tim_Griffin My mother had one of those! I was fortunate enough to learn how to drive in it. Happy days.

We have short time to stay, as you,
We have as short a spring;
As quick a growth to meet decay,
As you, or anything.
We die
As your hours do, and dry
Away,
Like to the summer's rain;
Or as the pearls of morning's dew,
Ne'er to be found again.

To Daffodils
Robert Herrick

[Duncan Slade @NorfolkTweed]

Fair Daffodils, we weep to see
You haste away so soon;
As yet the early-rising sun
Has not attain'd his noon.
Stay, stay,
Until the hasting day
Has run
But to the even-song;
And, having pray'd together, we
Will go with you along.
