The News This Week - Lighthearted, No Death and Destruction

I was going to write a blog post about the stories that dominated the news this week, but then I thought that was way too depressing.
So after a quick search online, I found some stories that are not as serious as the usual mainstream news.
There's no news about the general election, no Samsungs 'Spy' TV, no politics, no war, and there's nothing about the economy, banks, or the NHS.

Geese migrating. Sunrise.
As I'm keeping things light, here's a shot of some Geese flying South


Here's a few news stories that you may find interesting.
  • Coronation Street super fan tattoos his wife with the faces of all his favourite characters. Read more on the Coronation Street blog

They were far less depressing than the 'proper' news, weren't they?
I hope you enjoyed these light-hearted news stories, and that you have a lovely weekend.
