One of Our Eagles is Missing-
Golden Eagle Disappearance Suspicious
Now a couple of years ago I had a close encounter with about four eagles, I even have the pictures to prove it. It was in Rocamadour which overlooks the valley of a tributary of the River Dordogne. It is on the old pilgrim’s route to Santiago de Compostela and we were high on the peak next to a clock bell tower when the bell chimed...

Glasgow Queen Street –
Most Widely Disliked in UK
The Nation’s Least Favourite is Glasgow’s Queen Street Station and looks like a bomb has hit it and in a survey it has come top of the bottom, as it is the UK’s least liked railway station.

Father’s Day Father’s Day... Stop Press-
Get Weaving Don’t Forget
If you’ve been day dreaming in the warm weather and wondering if a BBQ might be worth the risk and how many sausages in a bun you can safely eat, then you might have forgotten about Father’s day.

Excuse Me Missus Can We Have Our Trampoline Back? –
Nation Hectored
Well that’s it the police have warned us to get the garden furniture in and there are pictures of trampolines blowing in the wind, like a bad translation of the now very old Bob Dylan song.
