This is possibly a more realistic scenario re tRump & the beeb than we in the UK are seeing. It's not all international bullying. There's quite probably an internal US angle. He can't manipulate the foreign broadcasting companies as easily, so they pose a bigger threat to his demanded narrative

Tuesday morning Montrose basin view. Much lighter than yesterday, which was pitch dark. Geese are waking up noisily in the distance...

Autumn canopy...

Wow...

Noisy whistling starlings here on the chimney pots opposite.

Low tide...

Oh and the Flying Scotsman was in as well. Not sure what all the fuss is about re her, a bit overrated tbh. I'd be more interested in an A4 or a 9F 🥴

Something interesting yesterday. A run behind the one and only Locomotion No. 1

This is a replica, but so old itself it needed restoration for the Railway 200 anniversary celebrations.

Gingerbread with bite🧛‍♂️

An interesting day out to Locomotion today, not been for 7 or so years so a few nice new things in to see.

That's interesting. Looks like they can fold the passenger front seat all the way down just like the Smart forfour. We had one & it was so flexible & capable of carrying stuff that wouldn't fit in other larger cars.

Cheeky jackdaws on the chimney pots across the lane, always looking for titbits or someplace new to drop sticks down

That's the most terrifying thing I've ever seen on Halloween 😱

A receding tide on a slowly brightening but still breezy Montrose basin, slightly calmer than the very blustery evening last night..

The distant chatter of pink feet geese
Montrose basin view this Thursday morning...

That's just brilliant. What a clever way of filling the opening with random glass blocks and stuff 😱

Two robbins in the lane hiding in the trees over the wall, twittering gently celebrating the new dawn..

A much calmer early morning Montrose basin view. Geese stirring in the distance...

A grey, damp Montrose basin type of morning...

What a difference putting the clocks back makes. Monday morning Montrose basin view. Nice to have light again, for the next month or so maybe. Bitterly cold though.

Wut. I bought it at the weekend. 😄

Waking up for a new day...

Oh excellent spot Richard 😲😊

Not as dark as yesterday, thanks to clear skies. Montrose basin in the October darkness.

Always seems to be the Robbins from the churchyard first, singing away here in the dark. Announcing their patch to their rivals ...

"Historical evidence should warn us against the idea that strong men get things done, which is almost always wrong. The concentration of power promotes loyalty at the expense of wisdom, flattery at the expense of objective advice, self-interest at the expense of public interest."
- FT (1 March 2025)

Very dark and damp misty morning at Montrose basin. Geese audibly stirring in the distance.
