Warlingham to stop at East Croydon, a reminder of my days as an HM Inspector
of Railways. © Colin Watts |
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. © Colin Watts |
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. © Colin Watts |
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. © Colin Watts |
