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..”
Pink berries
Hi. I enjoyed seeing these pink berries on my walk today. I also saw these white ones which were OK but not as nice as the pink ones. Then I saw these which I think are little flower buds rather than berries. It’s amazing how much is still in flower past the middle of NovemberContinue reading “Pink berries”
A little overwhelmed
Hi. Today I’ve felt a little overwhelmed with all the stuff to do for my parents. After a day with my Dad yesterday and bringing home several bags of my Mum’s clothes to sort through I woke up early thinking of the piles and piles of accumulated stuff in my parents’ house and I hadContinue reading “A little overwhelmed”
Fulham Palace
Hi. How are you all? I’m not sure my last post had uploaded properly so I’ve just hit the publish button on “Autumn Leaves” again so you may or may not get 2 new posts today.

Orchid or what??
There were a few clusters of these pretty yellow flowers at Dorney by the Jubilee River at the weekend. Anyone know what they are? Orchids? Or not? So pretty anyway. I love them!
Mixed bag of a day
Hello. I’ve had the day off today. It’s been a mixed bag. Life is still very much revolving around my parents and I still need to ring my Dad tonight. This morning I talked to my financial adviser for about an hour about paying the enormous costs for my Mum’s care. It’s very tricky asContinue reading “Mixed bag of a day”
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”
Yesterday in Richmond
Hello everyone. 5 days with no Waffle. What is the world coming to? It’s been very busy with my parents and work. I went to see my Mum today. She is still sad in Covid isolation but still with no Covid symptoms so that’s a great relief. She may be allowed to socialise with herContinue reading “Yesterday in Richmond”
