MO75? WTF is that all about? Seen it a few times on the lanes of Donegal. Some Masonic meaning perhaps? Or Fifth Columnists operating on Irish soil. Somebody should be told!

Self assembly Mari Lwyd. (Above Table mountain, Crug Hywel). Came across this poor beast at the end of a 16 mile hike from Hay Bluff to Crug Hywel (Crickhowell). Plenty of takers in Wales for the skull.
And so to Burnley

Film Festival and Pendle Hill. Some time ago I was asked to be judge for the 45th Burnley Film Festival. In total 19 films were entered. Some completely excellent, many just great and all with some merit. I watched all of them at least four times, then once more at the festival itself. I wrote some 6,000 words of deliberation on them all. Erring always on the side of positive. Even the least well constructed film deserved not to be shot to pieces. Least of all by me.
Being so far from home (180 miles) we made a couple of nights of it. Staying at Fence just north of Burnley with the event itself held in Higham , a gorgeous Pennine village. We were well looked after by the organisers and the films played to a full house. I got to read my verdict then announce and present the winners. Dinner at the splendid Fence Gate on Saturday and Sunday morning a walk up Pendle hill – long since on my checklist of hills to climb. On such a fine Sunday morning, so many others also had the same idea. This didn’t detract from an excellent weekend away.

Shocking outbreak of vicious tree cannibalism in west Wales this week.

Poached Eggs
Whilst partaking in my customary post prandial perambulation along the rustic thoroughfare that meanders adjacent to my abode, I chanced upon a most serendipitous sight nestled amidst the verdant fringe of the lane insomuch this exquisite pair of perfectly poached eggs.
And fuck off Jacob Rees Mogg.

Just back from special invite to the Dull Men’s Club Symposium in Llangollen at the weekend and the presentation of “Anorak of the Year Award”. I didn’t win this time but spent some grey time in the company of some of this country’s finest dullsters including Assistant Vice President* of the Dull Men’s Club, Leland Carlson (aka Grover Click, President of Park Bench Appreciation Society). Much serene jollity was had by all. Winner of the Anorak award was Rachel Williamson from Rhyl for her nocturnal, surreptitious yarn-bombing efforts.
* Assistant VP is the highest office in DMC to limit excitement.
