leaves – The Windsor Waffle

First glimpses of autumn

Hi. It’s still very warm here in Windsor on 1 October but nature is showing a few little signs of change. I don’t feel very chatty today, so I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. I hope you are finding some connection to nature this season Xx

Leaves in the rain

Hi everyone. How are you all? It’s a very rainy Saturday here in Windsor. For all of you rain haters out there, just how beautiful do these leaves look…? So shiny and fresh. I ❤️them. It was fun taking photos of the leaves in the rain. I’m now home listening to David and John practisingContinue reading “Leaves in the rain”

Autumn leaves 🍁

Hello. I’ve gone a bit crazy for all the gorgeous leaves that are around at the moment. Red, yellow, brown, orange, mahogany, rust, amber, cerise, scarlet, multicoloured little beauties. I get particularly excited about a tree with multiple colours on or an individual leaf with different portions of colour. Nature changing in front of yourContinue reading “Autumn leaves 🍁”

Banks etc

Hello. My life seems to revolve around many different banks at the moment, helping my parents with the Power of Attorney. The process is both frustrating and time consuming and the continuing inefficiencies of Barclays left me in tears last night. After pub and sleep it was off to Santander in Maidenhead this morning. SantanderContinue reading “Banks etc”

And relax 🫖🍪….

Hi. How are you all? I’ve been busy doing very grown up things. I don’t mind being a grown up, but then when your parents get old and ill you suddenly have to grow up to a whole new level. You become really responsible, they become dependent on you, and at times it’s quite overwhelming.Continue reading “And relax 🫖🍪….”

More kitchen saga…

Hello. This is quite pretty I spotted out on my walk this morning. The workmen were in the kitchen first thing so I went to the post office to send Christmas gifts to my sister and family, and then to Costa for a coffee. Costa was a bit like a crèche this morning. I seemedContinue reading “More kitchen saga…”

Pretty reindeer and kitchen progress (or not)

Hi all. Windsor is starting to look quite Christmassy. I like these pretty reindeer I spotted today outside my hairdresser’s. It’s called Icon in Windsor and is run by some lovely Polish ladies. They only take cash even in these post lockdown times, but their prices are reasonable for central Windsor. My locks are gettingContinue reading “Pretty reindeer and kitchen progress (or not)”

Pumpkin progress, trip to Reading and walk in Boveney

Well, the pumpkins are turning orange albeit very slowly. I think we’ll be having Halloween at mid to end of November at this rate 🤣. They seem to go orange from the bottom up, interesting stuff. Apart from watching pumpkins turn orange, we’ve been having a relaxing weekend at home. Yesterday we had a tripContinue reading “Pumpkin progress, trip to Reading and walk in Boveney”

Pumpkins, Foxes, Twinkletoes and Trees…

Hi everyone. Do you like my pumpkins 🎃? I grew them myself. I know they’re supposed to be orange. I’ve now brought them into the house as apparently that will help them to turn orange. They are clean, warm and cosy next to the kitchen window for sunlight. I was planning on making curry andContinue reading “Pumpkins, Foxes, Twinkletoes and Trees…”

Clewer Park, unidentified lunch and a little Covid update

Hello everyone. I do hope you’re well. Let’s start with the Covid update. The day after I heard that one of my friends had died from Coronavirus, I learned that another friend is currently in hospital on oxygen with it. I have decided that I really hate this virus, this is getting personal now. “****Continue reading “Clewer Park, unidentified lunch and a little Covid update”
