Life is a walk in the park..

Well, yesterday morning it was, anyway. I had a lovely cappuccino, carrot cake and chat with my friend at the Imperial Park café in Windsor. The sun had kindly put his hat on which was very welcome. Gorgeous views. A few little dogs but no big scary ones. We walked several laps of the parkContinue reading “Life is a walk in the park..”

Fulham Palace

Word Press anniversary etc

Hello folks. I received this message above yesterday. I started my WordPress account 2 years ago. It took me over a month after that to figure how how to post a blog post.

Cambridge, Cromer and Ely (part 2)

Last week David and I were on our little break away in Cambridge, Cromer and then Ely. It seems an age away since I’ve been back at work for a week.

Usually it costs £13.50 per person including parking, but we used the 241 Gardeners’ World ticket I got recently with Gardeners’ World magazine so £13.50 total for us both. TheContinue reading “I hope you like pink?!”

A walk around Bray Lake on Cocktail Saturday

Windsor is busy. There are cars, bicycles, people, dogs, children, everywhere! It is hard to find some space. All the restaurants and bars are now booked up weeks if not months in advance. The virus figures are going down and down (thank goodness) and everyone is out and about in the sunshine. For lunch todayContinue reading “A walk around Bray Lake on Cocktail Saturday”

Trip to Greys Court, Henley

Hi. On Sunday we visited Greys Court, near Henley, for a walk. This is a National Trust property for which I pre-booked tickets at £8. each as we are not National Trust members. Even though we visited National Trust places about 5 times last year, we would have to go at least 7-8 times toContinue reading “Trip to Greys Court, Henley”

Day trip to Winkworth Arboretum and duck curry

Hello. As my ear drums and my brain fight for a bit of space competing with the rock guitar practice going on upstairs, I’ll tell you about my day. This morning we did a few jobs at home. I did my parents’ online food shopping and gave David a hair cut. He now chooses forContinue reading “Day trip to Winkworth Arboretum and duck curry”
