This is the third year that this splendid pheasant has returned to this layby, and last year he had three mates, and managed to raise a few chicks with them. He's wearing his nice new spring mating clothes

Breakfast in my favourite McDonalds office.
I'm enjoying a mobile life style at the moment, and I don't have any problems in finding a pleasant office with free power and free WiFi. This is my workstation in my favourite McDonalds this morning.

After the pub, don't rush to the supermarket.
If you've been in the pub, then don't drive to the supermarket to grab those last minute bargains. Prices may have crashed, but that won't be all if you are over the limit.

Portsmouth bus for the homeless trashed and used as a toilet.
I'm pretty disgusted by this. The Porstmouth news - the local newspaper - funded a project to provide temporary sleeping accomodation for up to 10 people who were forced to sleep rough. As a famous city

Bullet proof McDonalds - a frightening tour of Detroit

This is another car that was in the Petersfield car park, and I was lucky enough to be able to talk to the owner. He didn't let me take it for a drive though. He loves the car. It's got great performance

Jaguar E-type softtop in wonderful condition
I saw this beautifully restored Jaguar E-type in the car park in Ptersfield in Hampshire. A quick guess at its value would be around £300,00. That's fair bit of value to park at the supermarket.
