  • Week 119 – June 25th – Summer plants in bloom

    The new plants for summer are starting to come out and this one looks in great shape.

    Do you agree?

  • Week 119 – June 23rd – £100 up

    In a recent post, I mentioned that the cost to fill up a car with petrol hit £100.

    Today, I had the pleasure of doing that myself, with a 1 litre of fuel costing £1.91, easily went passed the £100 mark to fill the car up.

    When will this end?

  • Week 119 – June 20th – Magpies

    I was sitting in the dining room and could hear a lot of noise in the garden.

    Manage to capture two magpies sitting together on the fence.

  • Week 118 – June 17th – Tree

    Claire had a hospital appointment today.

    Whilst waiting for her, I took this picture of a tree in the grounds on a glorious day in England.

    The colour and shape of the tree caught by eye, especially against the blue sky.
  • Week 118 – June 16th – Rose bush

    As mentioned in previous postings, we seemed too have done really well with the planting this spring and summer.

    Rose bush flowering well.

  • Week 117 – June 12th – Ruxley for lunch

    On the way back, we decided to go to Ruxley garden centre for some lunch.

    To refresh myself, I had a strawberry lemonade in this quaint glass.

  • Week 117 – June 12th – Greenwich – Part 1

    We decided to go up to Greenwich again for a walk in the park and by the Thames.

    Never seen the river Thames so high.

    Compare this picture to the one I took in early May. (see earlier post in blog)

  • Week 117 – June 10th – Always good to enquire

    Yesterday we went to a coffee shop for a coffee with our reusable cups and you get extra rewards for doing this.

    During the day I checked and noticed I hadn’t been correctly rewarded.

    So I filled in a form and today I had a response from the customer service and was given double points.

    Always good to check and follow up  

  • Week 117 – June 9th – Ridiculous

    For the first time in this country to fuel a petrol car up, cost over £100.

    It’s just ridiculous how everything has gone up in the last few months.

    Something has to give as the cost of living is just spiraling out of control!!
