Wow, what a rainstorm today. Nothing for many people across the tropics but in sleepy Worcestershire a very unusual sight.
Roads blocked and flooded, car covered in downed pollen, the latter of which I Thank God.
One thing though, and I wish I'd had my camera, when driving through the floods of Catshill a local retard was just standing in the middle of a road junction, calf high in water just gawping at the scene.
It reminded me of the old joke about pigs getting up on the wall to watch cars go by. It was probably the most interesting thing to happen in his life.
Having just said that I feel sorry for him.
Catshill Village is a very "special" place. Always has been, always will be.
A blog of life and the goings on around Bromsgrove, Worcestershire - esp. the Lickey Hills and our beautiful countryside. Housman, Tolkien, Elgar - all walked these roads - all left their mark - and all loved Bromsgrove and its people.. A bit of news, gossip and history. Oh, and Harry-ca-Nab? Well, I was a legend around these parts for over a thousand years - check out my first blog in 2010 to read about me..

The world is changing - I can feel it in the air.
Life is changing.
The loss of a dear mother and the associated emotions and realities are forcing a good close look at where we are going in life.
All too often in life we are carried along with the stream, willingly conforming and assuming responsibilities out of love and loyalty.
Time now for change. A new world is opening up and the whole of Europe beckons...
Meanwhile, the new shotgun has arrived!!! And what a beauty. Browning GTS Elite.
The focus of our lives will be turning back to Brittany - the woods, streams and farmland.
Freedom, albeit only relative, when compared to the Police State that the UK is becoming.
One good man described it thus:-
To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is it's justice; that is its morality.
