He was brought up in Dewlish. Lovely sunset pictures too.

I have been unable to ...Hello again, Border Reiver. I have been unable to blog recently as I have several elderly family members who are ill.<br><br>I am sorry to hear about your redundancy. My elder son has had this happen to him four times since he started work ..and he's only 31. The first happened with Reuters. He was the first of 3000 to be made redundant when the new American boss came over and used a huge scythe instead of a new broom.<br><br>Great photos of the area where you live. I particularly like the sunsets, though the yellowhammer is wonderful too. We have them in the nearby wood, and they are part of my summers :)<br><br>I truly wish you the best of luck finding a new job. I always think we are going on a journey through life and maybe you are walking along a new horizon towards where you are meant to be. I do hope so :)A wildlife gardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08261817184002496844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654691964232673096.post-19994767572487018812008-06-18T16:11:00.000+01:002008-06-18T16:11:00.000+01:00Going through the same motions here. just waiting ...Going through the same motions here. <br>just waiting now to see who goes.

Watching those at the Oncology Centre today while waiting for "management" to return always puts minor worries like a job into perspective. Health is what matters, nothing else. <br><br>Goosey, of course you can.

He had to go through the manager meetings discussing and ‘rating’ his troops while at he same time his bosses were doing the same with him. Telecoms were hit hard a few years ago. This was repeated every three months or so for eighteen months ending when he had an awful week of telling many people he knew well they were being made redundant which ended with his boss coming into the same meeting room to give the same spiel to him! Again it was the end of an era as he did enjoy that job :-)<br><br>As you say it takes a hospital visit to put things in perspective for a little while at least. <br><br>On a wildlife note I also saw a yellow hammer today at Loch of the Lowes. I was trying to catch glimpses of the red squirrel with my camera. However something else came to the squirrel feeder on the tree – a Jay! Not a usual visitor there. My video was already running and I caught it on film. I will post it soon. Just as Thelma was surprised at how small the owl was I was surprised at how big the Jay was! I had never seen one before either.<br><br><i>I hope you don’t mind but I’d like to send my best wishes to ST here too. Work is going to be a difficult place for you both at the moment. Best wishes to you both :-)</i>shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654691964232673096.post-85763435646013189702008-06-18T23:14:00.000+01:002008-06-18T23:14:00.000+01:00Hi Oldcrow.

Think he was bored so followed me around while I tried to take my photo's.<br><br>Hi Shirl, Thanks too, and I'm sure ST will appreciate this too. I chose to work part time in March, partly as I knew this was coming, so time to plan ahead. As one door closes another opens. <br><br>re your Jay, I do think they are one of the most spectacular birds in the UK, Bristol has many in the communal gardens. Often overlooked as they are shy, but wonderful.The Wessex Reiverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01781303871936178731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654691964232673096.post-39408177952749751392008-06-20T09:13:00.000+01:002008-06-20T09:13:00.000+01:00Sorry to hear about the redundancy but I hope lots...Sorry to hear about the redundancy but I hope lots of new doors open for you in the future.Mohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08409944998946748154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654691964232673096.post-11927139847277976292008-06-20T14:06:00.000+01:002008-06-20T14:06:00.000+01:00Thanks Mo..
