Saturday night. England beat Switzerland 5-3 in the football championship. This match doesn't much interest the locals ( Scotland having been sent home some time ago ) but the shouts and screams emanating from the local hostelries tell us that the visitors from south of the border are heavily invested in what's going on. This is turning out to be a bumper year for the bar owners. Tables of slightly bemused American golfers , out for a night cap, look on.
Memory of the week - sitting on the sofa on Thursday night waiting for the exit poll. That was a nail biting time. Two days on and the new government is in place. How smoothly and quickly power has been transferred. The Prime Minister seems much more at ease governing than he did campaigning. Just after nine tonight we'll know what's happened in France. This truly is a year of elections.

There is a reason for not many wire-bristle BBQ brushes. Google Barbeque brush injuries and you will find over 100,000 articles on why you and "The Font" should consider not using them and instead find an alternative. When bits of the bristle break off and get eaten hidden in BBQ food, many people end up seriously ill after ingesting wires that get lodged inside their bodies.
Keir Starmer becomes Prime Minister and suddenly the England football team acquire the ability to win in penalty shoot outs. Coincidence??
WFT - Our neighbouring farmer ( a staunch Tory ) pointed out that it's rained solidly every nights since Labour took power. Proof there is such a thing as Fife humour.
The top two photos are sublime - also yesterday's Starlings

A year for elections. I'm in the U.S. You ain't kidding! Ugh!

The person undergoing a multi-stage interview for a top job in any company may not always be smiling and relaxed - but once the position is gained, they can breathe and get on with the job. Until they hit the first hurdle, of course, then their mettle will be tested! YAM xx
That pop of poppy red against the green landscape is stunning!

I envy you and the peaceful transfer of power, we can only hope to have that happen here in the US.
