Lying in bed a short while ago in my hospital bay I heard the beautiful sound of a Blackbird singing in the little courtyard outside the window. It was long after dark so it must have been being tricked by the lights from the hospital windows.

Hello and welcome to my new blog. It will be a collection of many different things, including some or all of: descriptions of the nature around me where I live in North Ormesby, Middlesbrough, UK; accounts of trips and travels around the region, the country and the world; my thoughts about nature, conservation, faith, social justice, politics (maybe, if I feel brave/stupid), science; being in hospital, living with cancer and having chemotherapy; music, art and literature; beer!
Listen to this from 4:20 onwards:
