I like animals, colour, the Thames, reading, cooking, writing, eating, walking. I don't like bullies, butchers' shops, crowded public transport, Nigel Farage.

Badger Cull in Wales

If you are in favour of the badger cull in Pembrokeshire that is due to start in April, stop reading now. This is not for you. It is an information post for those who, like me, have followed the arguments back and forth and reached their decision, and  want to let the Welsh Assembly know they do not approve. I am not posting this here because I want to have an argument, I just want to pass on some information to anyone who may be interested.

You can register your disappointment in the decision to go ahead with the planned cull by writing to

Ms Elin Jones

Welsh Assembly Government Senedd Building

Cardiff Bay

Cardiff CF99  1NA

or emailing her at correspondence.elin.jones@wales.gsi.gov.uk, remembering to include your full name and address.

All correspondence should of course be politely worded. If you have decided to cancel a visit Wales or to boycott Welsh goods as a result of the decision to cull the badgers it would be be an opportunity to let the Welsh Assembly know.

Storytime

A long time ago, when the world was young, I sat with a teenager who was reluctant to write and we composed a story. All the words had to be three letters long and no longer. I thought I had a copy, but If so I don’t know where it is. But it  started something like this:

Pip the Dog met Ron the Cat.

‘Hey Ron! Man, hip hat!’

‘Hey Pip!  Bow man wow! Say, you see the rat?’

‘The rat?’

‘The big rat.’

‘Reg the big Rat?’

‘Yeh. Man, the rat was hot.’

It was interesting (at least to us) how the word length created a distinctive sound and rhythm. So I was wondering if anyone would like to start a story on the same lines here, or go on with the one just started above.

It might be a bit of light, uncontentious stuff for a rainy Tuesday afternoon.
