no, not really. But Alex and I took her to the Blue Planet aquarium for her birthday treat. I know we were a bit late, but she wasn't well, then it was school holidays etc. Anyway, we went, and a good time was had by all. ... read more

I took this weekend off work, just so we could go to the Michaelmas Fair at Bishops Castle, about 20 miles from home. The street entertainment is great, there are lots of stalls and lots of vintage vehicles. it was rather blowy and a little on the autumnal side, but we enjoyed our day out. ... read more

as autumn approaches, I thought I'd better do some serious harvesting. So its jams and pickles and bottling, what a store. Actually there's still lots left from last year, but you can't let it all rot. ... read more

While Sophie and Tom were staying, I booked a go on the high ropes course near here. Not for myself, I hasten to add. It was both high and wobbly, and you needed to be pretty intrepid. Just look. After a practise run, Tex decided not to go up high, so there aren't any pictures of him. ... read more

I popped up to Leeds this week to see Sophie. She and Tom are choosing a new house to rent, so I thought I'd go and have a nose, but forgot to get a pic! Will take some once they've moved in. Also, Sophie could get some time off work this week. ... read more

Back home again after a week in Scotland. We'd been invited to a friend's silver wedding "do" at Blair Atholl castle, and we decided to make a week of it. So we drove up the west side of England over 2 days, stayed up there for 2 nights,( we stayed in a lovely B and B with friends Joyce and Malcolm, who also know Judith and Peter, the anniversery couple ) down to friends in Dundee, then a night near Newcastle (meeting up with Sophie who was "on tour" there) before driving home again - 925 miles in a week. ... read more

well, its the middle of June again - how has that happened? - and time for the 25th dingy dawdle along the Montgomery canal. We had memories of last year's pouring rain, but today dawned bright and sunny, and we got under way. A couple of showers after lunch, but smiles all round. I did my turn taking the "late entries" - those who waited till today to decide! then Maisie and I strolled along in the wake of the dingies, as far as the first pub, where we stopped briefly for refreshment, then strolled back. Watching the martins swooping over the water. ... read more
