  • Week 132 – September 24th – England v India – Part 1

    Today we went to Lords to see the England v India women’s ODI match, final international match of the English summer.

    For the first time ever I arrived at a match late, as we left late.

    Had a lovely taxi journey from Charing Cross with a Greek driver, very chatty.

    There was still a fair queue outside to get in, though it moved pretty quickly.

    Went and checked our plaque on the Father Time wall before sitting down.

    England had started well on a lovely day in September, but there were main twist and turns in this match.

    Flying out to the covers, not a great shot.

  • Week 130 – September 8th – Browns

    We had booked to have a meal at Browns restaurant.

    Still went, but just surreal with the earlier news today.

    We drank a toast to the Queen.

    It was still a lovely meal and evening.

  • Week 129 – September 4th – Biggin Hill

    Afterwards we went to café at Biggin Hill airport and had small bite to eat.

    Again able to capture the spitfire after it landed.

  • Week 129 – September 4th – Memories

    This is where it all started, though it wouldn’t be possible now, looking at this picture.

    This is where from the Easter bank holiday until the school summer holidays finished, on average about 8 of us came here and played cricket all day.

    We even brought a lawn mower up to cut a pitch every so often.

    Looking at it now, it appears no one plays on this land, how the world has changed.

    This was where a lot of my summer day was spent playing cricket.
  • Week 129 – September 3rd – Dragonfly

    We went down to see Claire parents and again the weather was good.

    Whilst sitting in the garden, I was able to capture this picture of a dragonfly.

    I thought unusual, it stayed in the area for a very long time.

    Dragonfly
    I’m very proud of this picture. Good capture of the dragonfly.
  • Week 129 – August 29th – Greenwich Park

    The final public holiday before Christmas. Still decent weather, so had a walk around Greenwich Park.

    Very busy today, helped by the good weather.
