As someone commented on one of my blogs – “We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull, Some have weird names , and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box .”

I had the closest ever encounter with a Sparrowhawk today when one swooped towards me, grabbed a mouse off the patio and then – splat – crashed into the conservatory window right in front of me. Slightly stunned it fluttered onto the snowy grass. Two seconds later a cat pounced at it and it flew off. Three seconds later the camera switched on.

After going to Broadgreen Hospital today I wandered around Liverpool. The minton tiled floor in St George's Hall is 'revealed' at the moment. In 1883 it was covered with a wooden dance floor to preserve the tiles and it is only revealed about once every ten years.
The 30,000 tiles were laid in 1852 at a cost of £2,000. It is 140 feet long and 70 feet wide. Minton tiles from the Mointon Hollins factory in Stoke-on-Trent can be found worldwide and appear around fireplaces in the White House.
