Week 180 – Aug 26th – Double pot of gold
After so much rain which we thankfully missed when we were at Greenwich earlier today, typical for a bank holiday weekend in England, then going sunny this evening, Claire captured a double rainbow at home.
I can’t remember the last time I saw one.

Don’t see this often, double rainbow. Picture taken by Claire. -
Week 179 – Aug 16th – Rose tree
The rose tree for the memory of Claire’s mum is blooming well.
The rest of the plants not doing too badly either. Do you agree?

Claire’s mum rose blooming nicely. 
Flowers doing well, though it looks like the lawn needs a cut, but the weather not helping. 
The new yellow rose is flowering well. -

Week 178 – August 13th – Freddie Mercury – Part 12

Bohemian Rhapsody was the second single I ever purchased. This was the first song to have a video for it and this changed how records were produced. Some youngster’s will wonder what this item is.
