Years ago, a friend had a flat that backed onto the Thames here:

I lived there for a year. Renting while we looked for a permanent home.

@murrayjohnson Time to get the pitchforks out again!

The very definition of class enemy. Reeducation and self criticism now!

I have a degree of sympathy with landowners on some of this. The issue of wild campers trashing the area they camp in is live across many national parks. I have seen it in Scotland and the lake district, with idiots turning up leaving; rubbish, burnt out fires, cheap tents and shit on their campsites ( often no more than a few yard from where they park their cars!).

The park authority/local government./central government should foot the bill for policing this and clearing up the land afterwards.

Heads up for you Devonians, keep your eyes peeled if you manage to “trespass” on Dartmoor in the future.

Remember working in jersey and seeing red squirrels everywhere after not seeing them since the 70s. Guess they caught the ferry over there to avoid nut tax

Jersey had an effective Stop The Boats policy and the gangs weren’t able to fill inflatables with grey squirrels who found mainland UK an easier target.

Mrs J was down at Lopwell earlier today complete with her paintbrushes for some recreational art.

She noticed this contraption next to the non functioning cafe which apparently is a sauna for the use of a ladies wild swimming group that now meets there.

I reckon the Brownies will have towed that away before the week is out.

Great painting!

Can envisage something of a culture clash if/when wild lady swimmers encounter Meatmen next June.

They will probably be wild if the car park is full of snoring farting Meatmen!

Or changed the lock and filled it with stolen goods.
