On my way to buy my Christmas trees, I stopped at The Pixies (where my track crosses the burn/stream) to fill the feeders for the wee birdies. This guy appeared looking surprised but curious…coupled with a little bit ready for fight or flight, and big bit gorgeous!
I’d like to think this is Philip - the pheasant who has been visiting for a couple of years, now. Possibly. I hope so! He waited for a few minutes then toddled off, in a fit of pique as I drove past. I know he is helping himself to peanuts and sunflower hearts. You’re very welcome, Philip.

A twofer at the Split Rock Lighthouse yielded the Philip R Clarke and American Integrity gliding through the icy cold waters of Lake Superior, which was evidently warmer than the surrounding air tempature.
Well worth the frozen toes and feet!

Philip Larkin dedicated his 1955 Collection "The Less Deceived" to Monica Jones, one of his long suffering women consorts. Monica Jones purchased the property as a holiday home in late 1961 with part of the proceeds from her parents estate. Larkin first visited in April 1962 following which he wrote:
'I thought your little house seemed... distinguished and exciting and beautiful... it looks splendid and it can never be ordinary with the Tyne going by outside... You have a great English river drifting under your window...'
The place always cheered them both up. 'As always, the place worked its spell', wrote Larkin. From here they journeyed to the Lake District and elsewhere. They visited Hadrian's Wall, Langley Castle, Allendale and Allenheads. They certainly crossed into Scotland at Carter Bar. The pair occasionally dined out with friends at the Lord Crewe arms in Blanchland,
Larkin's poem 'Show Saturday' is a description of the 1973 Bellingham show. He refers to Haydon Bridge and its California Gardens allotments in the poem:
"Back now to private addresses, gates and lamps
In high stone one-street villages, empty at dusk,
And side roads of small towns (sports finals stuck
In front doors, allotments reaching down to the railway);
Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday".
In 1982, Monica retired to live in Haydon Bridge. Larkin called her 'Bun', a Beatrix Potter allusion, and both called 1A Ratcliffe Road her 'Rabbit Hole'. Larkin was fond of animals, particularly rabbits; they were also Monica's favourite animal. She often asked to see the pet rabbits of the Willis family next door. Monica finally left the cottage in 1984, when ill-health prevented her living alone. She continued to enquire about it, however, asking Mrs Willis by phone: 'How is my little house?' 'How is my river, is it high?' A prospective buyer recalls that Monica talked about Haydon Bridge as if it were paradise; she was still desperately reluctant to sell the property and even nurtured thoughts of an eventual return.
Following Monica's death in 2001 1a Ratcliffe Road yeided up part of the treasure of almost 2000 letters from Philip Larkin, now in the care of the Bodlean Library. An impressive selection has been made by Anthony Thwaite and published in 2010 in "Philip Larkin Letters to Monica"

First try at building my own frame but in fact with the help of 4 friends at various junctures. Could not find the frame stock I wanted so I bought a 10 foot board of cherry and one friend very kindly milled it for me another helped me build a fence for the chop saw to get more accurate cuts another provided a framing clamp This frame will be a reject because of the gap in bottom left corner. I chose to make these frames in cherry because I liked the look better than the more common black frame that I think can be overpowering or distracting from my images. So much for frames being easy to make when you are not really set up for it. I have to go and buy a better finer tooth blade for cleaner cuts. It is nice to see your work framed....something about just posting photos online I feel diminishes them. This is one of 5 photos I sold to a paint customer...I really appreciate that she appreciates my photos in such a tangible way.
