Mr Woodhead lost in the outback! & we see some sun!

I have been reading the reports about the English guy, a Mr Woodhead, who had been working in Australia at a Cattle Station and had gone out for a jog and got lost.  Luckily for him he had with him a small rucksack in which was some contact lens fluid which helped him survive when he became lost for 3 days!  He was found only 3 miles from the Cattle Station. 

Ok bit of a rant here!  Why take a rucksack and not any water?  Why oh why being an "experienced backpacker" did he not have a map & or at least a compass with him!  end of rant!  He apparently wants to join the Armed Forces  - - - I suggest to Mr Woodhead he takes up Orienteering quickly, to improve his navigation skills and hope survival and navigation is high on the curriculum when he joins up! 

Another snippet for the horse meat saga comes from a bloke called John Young, a former manager at the "Meat Hygiene Service" .  He helped draft a letter to DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) in 2011 alerting them to the fact there was a drug residue getting into the human food chain.  This was linked to a horsemeat export company and was roundly ignored!   We have a friend who used to farm locally and the mention of DEFRA is like lighting the blue touch paper on a very large firework!  He always says DEFRA stands for Destroy Every Farm and Rural Area!

Its a foggy old frosty morn here as can be seen form my time lapse recorded pic of today

While yesterday we had enough sun to dust off the cushions for the swinging seat in the garden and have a wine or two.  Wrapped up well of course!

 Sally and Tom enjoy the sunshine!

While even the garden looks like its enjoying the sun

Too cold outside this morning as Sainsbury keeps watch for "the interloper" and Tom gets his head down.  One of our "still" webcams can be seen top right, this one looks over the cars up into the garden

Enjoy the day
