A few pictures of Swansea

Hi everyone. David and I have just been away for a few days to Swansea. I thought you might like to see some of my pictures. We love Swansea, I went to Uni there (a long time ago!) and David grew up there (even longer ago!). We stayed at Morgan’s hotel in the marina. We’veContinue reading “A few pictures of Swansea”

2021 – the year that was

Hi. Happy New Year’s Eve. I’m just looking back on my photos from this year, to remind myself of the highs and lows. This time last year I was enjoying a walk to Budgen’s supermarket to buy our New Year’s Eve ready meal. I looked forward to the outing for quite a few days, asContinue reading “2021 – the year that was”

Brimstone moth and other important matters

Hello world. This lovely Brimstone moth visited our house recently. It was on the floor downstairs, then upstairs on a window ledge and then on the stairs’ carpet for a couple of days. We were careful not to step on him and I called him “Mr Brimstone” which hopefully he found quite respectful! He hasContinue reading “Brimstone moth and other important matters”

A picture perfect day in Windsor today

Hello everyone. The sun shone and the sky was blue in Windsor today. I had a relaxing-ish day. I managed an 8 minute walk, yippee! But my ankle is aching a bit now. I think it was the over enthusiastic physio at home this afternoon rather than the walk though. I’m trying not to letContinue reading “A picture perfect day in Windsor today”

Super sky and architectural details of Windsor

Hi. You’re going to get a lot of photos today… brace yourselves! To start with, here are some architectural details from my lunchtime walk last week around Windsor. I like the sign above for “Brooks DIY stores”. Obviously the store has long gone, but the sign remains, a little snippet of history. These are someContinue reading “Super sky and architectural details of Windsor”

Trees without leaves

Hello. It occurs to me today that, in my humble opinion, trees without leaves are every bit as beautiful as those with autumn colour. What do you think? (And did you spot the bird at the top of this one? Lots of birds sitting in trees today). These were all taken this afternoon on myContinue reading “Trees without leaves”

Fish Risotto

Hi Wafflers. How are you? I’m feeling quite tired but happy. Last night I cooked this fish risotto. It was really delicious. I would happily gobble up another plateful of it right now, but there’s none left. For tonight we are having an M & S ready made lasagne with petits pois, which is justContinue reading “Fish Risotto”

Champagne Mojitos and belated BBQ

Good evening, morning, whatever to you all. This is going to be a quick post as I have a BBQ to arrange. We were going to do one last night but the typically unpredictable British weather had other plans and we decided to postpone to tonight. On the menu is rump steak with a homemadeContinue reading “Champagne Mojitos and belated BBQ”
