From the cab of a speeding 171 on the Up East Grinstead Line heading towards Upper Warlingham to stop at East Croydon, a reminder of my days as an HM Inspector of Railways.

Most of the important things in life were not railways. For example, Moser!

An insulin-dependent diabetic cat, Moser sadly passed at the age of sixteen.

Or this idyllic location near Biggin in the Peak District.... 

Driving my dear old Morris, I used to regularly pass these derelict buildings on my way to Manchester.

Before I moved to the Sussex coast, my garden was frequented by a number of Hedgehogs (some of whom came from Folly Wildlife Rescue at Eridge Green).

The Hedgehogs co-habit quite happily with Moser (the cat) and are even cheeky enough to enter the house in order to help themselves from his cat-food bowl!

My current garden sees both Badgers and Foxes.
