Bullies?

It appears to me that Ukraine is "between a rock and a hard place". 

It looks like they are being offered a very poor deal over their heads by Russia and the USA. 

If they do not accept the USA is likely to stop intelligence sharing and just walk away.

The world seems to be run by selfish individuals who are more interested in their own enrichment rather than that of their citizens. 

Where are the leaders who put the interests of the common person ahead of rich billionaires?

View from the kitchen


We had our first heavy frost this morning. It was cold, but it is now sunny. We are lucky to look out of the kitchen and lounge on to a windmill and village museum.

Hope Cove, Devon, UK


My family can be traced continuously back to the mid 1500s in this Devon village. Most days I look at the webcam at the Cottage Hotel there to see the weather.
