Not far from my daughters house, there are these pretty lakes.
On previous visits, they have been all but dried up, muddy pools only suitable for hippos.
However, there have been days of wall to wall rainfall interspersed with beautiful sunny days. As a consequence, the lakes are perhaps a little over full.
I took these photos yesterday while out walking the dog.
Spitfire and Hurricane pilots demonstrating some close formation flying at the Goodwood Revival.
Sorry if I have posted this before.
This is just a nostalgic photo from a family gathering at my parents’ home in Hastings, many years ago.
So, Maureen is the eldest of Kathy’s daughters. And, Kathy was my mums eldest sister.
Mum and Kathy were two of six siblings!
I’m not sure of the occasion or why they were sitting with ‘wellies to the fore’ but I do know that getting any of them to sit quietly for a photo would have been a challenge as they all, like me, could talk the hind leg off a donkey.
There we were, minding our own business, enjoying a sunny picnic in the grounds of Blenheim Palace. When this fellow came mooching along, hoping for a tasty morsel.
What, do you suppose, had caught his eye ? Was it the pork pie with its jelly and crispy crust? Or was it the egg mayonnaise and watercress sandwiches. Perhaps, when all’s said and done, it was strong cheddar cheese and tangy chutney.
Either way, he was out of luck with me around. I don’t share my food with party crashers.
A beautiful pair of Orchid blooms.
This cute fella was helping himself to the sunflower kernels I put out for the birds.
We put this bird box up last year, well after normal nesting season.
So you can imagine how chuffed we are that we have new tenants in the first year since we opened for business.
We have been watching them coming and going for quite a few days. The photo shows the removal of what must be the “wrong” type of feather.
Can’t wait to see the young when they emerge..
Fabulous sunset viewed from my front doorstep.
Received an e-mail with the following photo’s attached. The e-mail claims that they are from Mexico.
Wherever, I don’t feel quite so bad about my own DIY plumbing results.
Anyone out there have any evidence of more outrageous installations ?
