Hi, I’ve had the pleasure of a long walk at Kew Gardens today. It always brings back happy memories of my student holidays working in the gift shop there. I wanted to say to the girl on the till “I did your job in 1989” (summers 1989-1992 to be precise) but she looked a bitContinue reading “Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew”

Bray lake and Boveney lock, February days
Hi everyone. I hope you’re all OK. I have struggled this past week. I’ve been really sad about my Dad and the way we have ended up with no contact at all, our relationship broken down after a very intense period of helping him over the past 6 months since he went to hospital andContinue reading “Bray lake and Boveney lock, February days”
Windsor, Wellington College trees + my first Vintage pop up sale
Hi. Just waiting for the roast chicken to finish roasting in the oven. Yesterday David and I went for a walk in the Home Park in Windsor. David noticed the nice reflection of this house boat in the River Thames. I’m quite pleased with this photo I took. It seems well balanced and I likeContinue reading “Windsor, Wellington College trees + my first Vintage pop up sale”
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..”

Yesterday I visited Fulham Palace with my old school friend Sarah. We’d been meaning to go there since lockdownContinue reading “Fulham Palace”
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”
Trees of Crowthorne
Hello. Feeling a bit exhausted. As usual recently… with all that is happening with my parents. The good news is that my Mum is now out of her Covid isolation and she never had any Covid symptoms. She is able to socialise again with her new care home friends so she is much happier. IContinue reading “Trees of Crowthorne”
