As smartspeakers proliferate, there will eventually come a time when, at 7.50am, the great collective British shout of ALEXA!

Money in the bank, money in the pocket. Money that comes in monthly and goes out daily. Money for food, heat, lighting, cooking. Money for internet, TV, buses, cars, clothes. Money in the hand. How much do you have? Not enough to keep warm or feed the kids or yourself?</p><p>There is help available, but you have to ask for it. You have to identify yourself as in need. And then people come and check that you really need it. Or really, really need it. They test your means. </p><p>Could there be anything more humiliating? Maybe queuing in front of your neighbours for a foodbank. Or I heard about a well-meaning Edinburgh lady who was in the habit of buying bags of groceries for neighbours she thought deserved help and hanging them from their front door handles. Prominently.</p><p>Means testing has been a feature of social benefits since they were introduced, and sometimes it was administered with grim, exhibitionist brutality. Humiliation was the price you paid. Of course, it’s understandable that only those who need help should get it, and there were - and are - inevitably those who seek to exploit the system for their own benefit when they don’t deserve it.</p><p>Nowadays it may be done with relative discretion but everything from Universal Credit to care home eligibility before death is means-tested, often by the provision of proof that you’re in receipt of some other aid, but sometimes by more intrusive methods. The state pension is not, just as long as you’ve paid your national insurance for long enough. As I have discovered, now being over 66 and in receipt of my monthly £817.44. And very welcome, after a lifetime of freelance scrabbling, it is too.</p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" href="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f8220ed-46e0-4c90-93e2-73ae5f4c25ff_429x482.jpeg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><picture><source sizes="100vw" srcset="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f8220ed-46e0-4c90-93e2-73ae5f4c25ff_429x482.jpeg 424w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f8220ed-46e0-4c90-93e2-73ae5f4c25ff_429x482.jpeg 848w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f8220ed-46e0-4c90-93e2-73ae5f4c25ff_429x482.jpeg 1272w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f8220ed-46e0-4c90-93e2-73ae5f4c25ff_429x482.jpeg 1456w" type="image/webp"></source><img alt="" class="sizing-normal" data-attrs="{"src":"https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8f8220ed-46e0-4c90-93e2-73ae5f4c25ff_429x482.jpeg","fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":482,"width":429,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":92436,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null}" height="482" sizes="100vw" src="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f8220ed-46e0-4c90-93e2-73ae5f4c25ff_429x482.jpeg" srcset="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f8220ed-46e0-4c90-93e2-73ae5f4c25ff_429x482.jpeg 424w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f8220ed-46e0-4c90-93e2-73ae5f4c25ff_429x482.jpeg 848w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f8220ed-46e0-4c90-93e2-73ae5f4c25ff_429x482.jpeg 1272w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8f8220ed-46e0-4c90-93e2-73ae5f4c25ff_429x482.jpeg 1456w" width="429" /></picture></a></figure></div><p>Now we are facing a cost of living crisis, fuelled by huge rises in energy prices, Brexit, food cost inflation, COVID-19, and worse to come.</p><p>The island community I live in has for decades been extremely wealthy, with almost full employment and an oil-rich Council, with its affiliated trusts, providing services and infrastructure second to none in Scotland. </p><p>Now, however, in these troubled times, some residents are facing hunger, cold, the inability to feed family members or afford transport to and from work or shopping. And this is a proud community where admitting vulnerability or poverty is difficult. It is also a caring community where people tend to look out for one another. But there is, and will be for some time to come, a need for public bodies to help those, often those in work, with the provision of food, energy, and services they find themselves unable to afford.</p><p>Charitable organisations are already delivering this kind of help, and they do it in ways that endeavour to be accessible, open and stigma-free. Lunch clubs, free transport and the like are readily valuable. And there is more charities and other organisations could do. Could the Shetland Charitable Trust, which administers the isle’s oil compensation funds, reinstate the annual pensioners’ Christmas bonus, which was once paid automatically to all residents over pensionable age? Should the Shetland Community Benefit Fund, which administers compensation from the isles’ industrial windfarms, change its position on paying out only to organisations and find a way of supporting individual and families in need? Our local community development group, NCDC, spent some of the profits it gains from the hugely successful Polycrub on a ‘bonus’ last year for all Northmavine residents as a post-lockdown measure. </p><p>What about the practicalities? Because although this is a caring and close society, that brings problems with confidentiality. Are there essentially invisible ways for public bodies to help, without the risk of stigma, blame, gossip and bullying, particularly of children?</p><p>Pre-pay electricity cards can already be subsidised using fuel vouchers. Could account cards for local shops be issued to all local residents, with those in particular need able to access additional discounts? Or maybe there should simply be temporary grants or discounts for all pensioners and all families with children under, 16? Child benefit obviously continues to exist, with clawback in tax from those with higher incomes, but I’m talking about extra measures to deal with the crisis we’re facing now.</p><p>I heard of a church in Edinburgh that simply put out baskets of food and essential goods along its wall every morning, for anyone to help themselves to. Sure, some abused the system. But not many. Maybe we have to be indiscriminate in our generosity.</p><p>I’m not in the habit these days of quoting the Bible, but I’ve always liked some of Jesus’ visual jokes. And you can imagine the Lee-Evans-like physical contortions that accompanied this vignette from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapter six; this is in the King James Version, the only translation worth memorising):</p><p><em>Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. That thine alms may be in secret…</em></p><p>ALEXA!</p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" href="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff1ae9a5e-b3c7-4007-8179-25224d18e924_750x639.jpeg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><picture><source sizes="100vw" srcset="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff1ae9a5e-b3c7-4007-8179-25224d18e924_750x639.jpeg 424w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff1ae9a5e-b3c7-4007-8179-25224d18e924_750x639.jpeg 848w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff1ae9a5e-b3c7-4007-8179-25224d18e924_750x639.jpeg 1272w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff1ae9a5e-b3c7-4007-8179-25224d18e924_750x639.jpeg 1456w" type="image/webp"></source><img alt="" class="sizing-normal" data-attrs="{"src":"https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f1ae9a5e-b3c7-4007-8179-25224d18e924_750x639.jpeg","fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":639,"width":750,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":451658,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null}" height="639" sizes="100vw" src="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff1ae9a5e-b3c7-4007-8179-25224d18e924_750x639.jpeg" srcset="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff1ae9a5e-b3c7-4007-8179-25224d18e924_750x639.jpeg 424w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff1ae9a5e-b3c7-4007-8179-25224d18e924_750x639.jpeg 848w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff1ae9a5e-b3c7-4007-8179-25224d18e924_750x639.jpeg 1272w, https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff1ae9a5e-b3c7-4007-8179-25224d18e924_750x639.jpeg 1456w" width="750" /></picture></a></figure></div><p><em>It was 90 years ago…protests against the Means Test Act in 1932. the other cartoons are from the 1930s, courtesy of the University of Kent’s British Cartoon Archive.</em></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="blogfeeds"><$BlogFeedsVertical$></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704984.post-90844976414195191122022-03-17T12:05:00.001+00:002022-03-17T12:05:27.938+00:00New Substack newsletter - free to viewMy new free-to-read Substack newsletter.

It was early 1979, the first oil was flowing from the Brent field into the uncompleted Sullom Voe oil terminal. Shetland seethed with industrial activity, thousands of temporary workers, and a kind of murky, atmospheric grime that penetrated cars, clothes and respiratory systems. </span></p><div class="ProseMirror mousetrap ProseMirror-example-setup-style" spellcheck="false" style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; font-variant-ligatures: none; min-height: 254px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding-top: 20px; position: relative; white-space: pre-wrap;"><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">I was there to report on what was going on at Calback Ness for an oil industry paper. I saw almost no scenery. Darkness was upon the face of the rock. Everyone was cold and wet and too busy to talk. Sullom Voe was a cost-plus contract, North Sea oil the UK’s deliverance from coal. Or, for Mrs Thatcher, from miners, from unions, from strikes and dependence on the workers. So profit for the constructors of Europe’s biggest oil terminal would be added no matter the expense. The level of wastage and casual theft was extraordinary. The dumping of whole fleets of vehicles and their burial as Orka Voe was filled in seems like a legend. But it happened.</p><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">Forty-two years later, I am driving through the Shetland Highlands, my favourite road in the isles, from Voe to Aith, winding high to the Loch of Gonfirth, low to East Burrafirth, over to Aith and beyond to Bixter. It’s Shetland at its most Scottish. It’s a regular trip to the vets, and normally I’d loop back south through Weisdale and return home via Kergord, just to see Shetland’s only old forest and check if my golf club is open for business at Asta.</p><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">I’m avoiding that route, though, as it would take me deep into the heart of a new industrial darkness. The construction not of the Viking Energy Wind Farm for what used to the South of Scotland Electricity Board, but of the access roads that will enable a collection of colossal turbines to be erected.</p><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">This time I can see the level of destruction being meted out. This time I know the landscape being ripped apart. Intimately.</p><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><br /></p><div class="captioned-image-container" style="margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: center;"><figure style="display: inline-block; margin: 0px auto; width: 728px;"><a class="image-link image2 image2-1092-1456" contenteditable="false" draggable="true" href="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0dea6bfd-bafa-47f7-9f9f-ad9effc0e556_2816x2112.jpeg" style="border: none; color: #1a1a1a; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; width: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="" data-attrs="{"src":"https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0dea6bfd-bafa-47f7-9f9f-ad9effc0e556_2816x2112.jpeg","height":1092,"width":1456,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":1800725,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null}" src="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0dea6bfd-bafa-47f7-9f9f-ad9effc0e556_2816x2112.jpeg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-height: 1092px; max-width: 1456px; width: 728px;" /></a></figure></div><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">I used to like wind turbines. Just as, when I was a small child, I was excited by electricity pylons as they marched, skeletal giants, across Scotland. I supported the idea of a wind farm on windy Shetland, before I knew what it was going to cost us.</p><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">Supporters argued at first that Viking was key to the future economic viability of the isles, once the oil ran out. It would help in the battle against climate change. Originally, when part-funded by the Shetland Charitable Trust - ironically the custodian of Shetland’s oil income - the community was set to benefit financially; hugely. But now, the Trust having pulled out, SSE will donate a derisory amount to local community groups in compensation. A few folk will become or remain multi-millionaires. Some new chairs will be bought for one or two community halls. And in the end, we who live here will be left with the whirring and whumping of blades, dead birds, some mountain bike tracks, new roads, peat bog of uncertain stability and vast empty car parks. Most of the money will go south.</p><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">“Rewilding” has been in the news this week, and the poet Kathleen Jamie has been much quoted on how Scotland has never, for hundreds of years, been truly wild. But the Lang Kames, the vast stretch of peat bog, ridge and valley currently being excavated, concreted, tarred and tamed, was as intimidating and wild a place as Shetland could ever offer. It was like a tract of boggy desert, uncompromising and glum. Implacably itself.</p><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><br /></p><div class="captioned-image-container" style="margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: center;"><figure style="display: inline-block; margin: 0px auto; width: 728px;"><a class="image-link image2 image2-1092-1456" contenteditable="false" draggable="true" href="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F149d5b9a-94a9-4e6e-916e-afec2ccccaca_2816x2112.jpeg" style="border: none; color: #1a1a1a; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; width: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="" data-attrs="{"src":"https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/149d5b9a-94a9-4e6e-916e-afec2ccccaca_2816x2112.jpeg","height":1092,"width":1456,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":1933768,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null}" src="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F149d5b9a-94a9-4e6e-916e-afec2ccccaca_2816x2112.jpeg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-height: 1092px; max-width: 1456px; width: 728px;" /></a></figure></div><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">My last drive north from Lerwick to Voe, a decade after the first one, took place on a day of glowing calm. The Kames enveloped me, shrank me to a minute scale in the face of uncompromising, brooding bleakness. It’s a vast building site. Now, the famous Half Way House, once a drovers’ hostelry, where cattle would be rested on the trip north or south, is dwarfed by the scraped-out network of roads and storage areas. </p><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><em>If only there hadn’t been such fervent, embittered opposition,</em> a few locals say. <em>If only there hadn’t been such delays. The community would have gained so much economically if the Charitable Trust hadn’t been forced to pull out. Now, all that prospective money has slipped through our hands.</em> But there were faults on both sides. An intransigent Charitable Trust insisted it knew best, explained itself badly. An aggressive, emotive and entrenched opposition forced legal actions which saw the Trust kick its ball into the willing hands of SSE and flounce back into the world of investment banking.</p><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">But it’s not about the money. It’s about place and love of place. It’s about wildness, if not wilderness, carelessly sacrificed. The unwilding of Shetland.</p><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">It’s about loss. And as the spring begins to shed its light on the mess that continues to be made…it hurts.</p><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><br /></p><div class="captioned-image-container" style="margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: center;"><figure style="display: inline-block; margin: 0px auto; width: 728px;"><a class="image-link image2 image2-1092-1456" contenteditable="false" draggable="true" href="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb1b4ab57-226a-4515-9a1c-4e5795a243b9_2816x2112.jpeg" style="border: none; color: #1a1a1a; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; width: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="" data-attrs="{"src":"https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b1b4ab57-226a-4515-9a1c-4e5795a243b9_2816x2112.jpeg","height":1092,"width":1456,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":2415620,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/jpeg","href":null}" src="https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb1b4ab57-226a-4515-9a1c-4e5795a243b9_2816x2112.jpeg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-height: 1092px; max-width: 1456px; width: 728px;" /></a></figure></div><p style="color: var(--print_on_web_bg_color, #1a1a1a); line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><em>All pictures by Tom Morton</em></p></div><grammarly-extension class="cGcvT" data-grammarly-shadow-root="true" style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Spectral, serif, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19px; left: 0px; padding: 6px 0px; pointer-events: none; position: absolute; top: 0px; z-index: auto;"><div data-grammarly-part="highlights" style="left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px;"><div style="border-radius: 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; height: 565px; left: 0px; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; pointer-events: none; position: relative; top: 0px; width: 1366px;"><div style="border-radius: 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; height: 4539px; left: 319px; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; pointer-events: none; position: relative; top: 316px; width: 728px;"><div style="left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px;"><div style="height: 5259px; width: 2094px;"><div class="q1faR _3x6Zf" data-grammarly-part="highlightUnderline" data-key="77" style="height: 29px; left: 346.141px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: absolute; top: 3761px; width: 85.2812px;"></div></div></div></div></div></div></grammarly-extension><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p id="blogfeeds"><$BlogFeedsVertical$></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704984.post-40286300945975351552021-02-22T11:01:00.003+00:002021-02-22T11:02:26.130+00:00Big southerly - post from my Substack newsletter - free to read<p>The whole post with pictures is free to read <a href="https://tommorton.substack.com/p/big-southerly?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=copy" target="_blank">here</a></p>
