A date for the diary

+For art lovers everywhere there’s a fantastic exhibition coming up next month. This runs from the 14th to the 22nd September at Barmoor, which is just north of Hutton le Hole. Where’s Hutton le Hole you ask? Just north of Kirkbymoorside, on the edge of the North York Moors. It will be splendid show. Yes, some of my stuff will be in it.
 
+Today marked the day when the last Kittiwakes nesting on Scarborough Castle cliff departed. There were some, perhaps around a hundred still there yesterday. Despite the weather, summer is coming to an end.
 
+It’s getting tedious in the extreme. It seems that no news bulletin can start without the words ‘Boris Johnson.’ What follows is always even worse. He takes us all for fools.
