Be thou My vision
Be thou my vision is an 8th century hymn that is as relevant today as it was when it was written.

What do Preseli (Pembrokeshire) and Haltemprice and Howden have in common?

I live in South Cave, a village within the Haltemprice and Howdenshire constituency. I've been on holiday to Pembrokeshire (and a really beautiful area it is!) However, my latest contact with Preseli has been to pair up with a voter from there named Liz.
There are two others in this locality who have also paired up with two other members from Preseli.
In the general election in 2005 the results in Preseli were:
Conservatives 37%
Labour 35%
Lib dem 13%
In the general election in H&H, the results were:
Conservatives 47%
Lib dems 36%
Labour 13%
If I want to vote labour, it makes no sense in H&H, however in Preseli it makes far more sense.
And if Liz in Preseli wants to vote LIb dem it makes no sense, but in H&H it makes more sense.
There are lots of people waiting for swaps. Tactical voting makes a lot of sense.
Don't waste your vote!
Red Kite
Coming back from Beverley this morning, I was lucky to see one of the redkites. They are breath taking as they glide with the sun catching their wings.
The Jerry Springer show ~ In my garden!

Don't remeber ... well lets just remind our selves.
So we have two male blackbirds squarking and sqabbling and in flight fighting. Could it be over a lady bird (a feathered one rather than the red and black variety!).
Well closer inspection of the pair has revealed the real reason.

Now the dilema is that both male blackbirds think they are the dad of this cutie pie. Mum is saying nothing!

Poor little cutie pie can't tell where his next meal is coming from. He's chiruping in the most pityful way.
How on earth these two males both think they are the dad, I do not know. I just hope cutiepie gets some grub.
These photos were taken yesterday and I'm glad to report that this morning he is hopping around, but still being fathered by two dads. DNA test required!

GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Day 100 ~ One A Day Challenge ~ Angle Necklace

100 Days!!! I am so chuffed. If you have missed my challenge, it is to create one item per day (at least) for a whole year.
Todays creation is based on my popular cherry blossom design and has a modern tilt to it. Acrylic cubes are seemingly suspended on silver wires.
There are also a pair of earrings to match.
In recognition of the hundreth post, this one is a giveaway and will be given to someone picked at random who has left me a comment on this post. The draw will be made on sunday at noon.
Please also mention whether you'd like clip on or hook earrings (as I will alter them for the winner)
