Otters Prompt Vole Resurgence
Unashamedly lifted that wonderful headline from a BBC page. Otters, it seems, are killing the American mink. These have been feasting on our natives voles. Voles have always been close to my heart since that line in Evelyn Waugh's Scoop - "Feather-footed through the plashy fen hurries the questing vole". So go, otters, I say. But, to be honest, I just did this for the headline.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Just struck me that The Vole Resurgence would be a good Robert Ludlum title.
