Learning to take pictures with different settings.

  • Week 120 – June 30th – At least it was free

    This afternoon I claimed my free frappe drink.

    They must make a good money on this, as it should have been £4.20.

    Not my cup of tea or frappe, lol.?

    Drink
    Strawberry frappe

  • Week 119 – June 26th – West Malling farmer market.

    Today we went to the West Malling farmer market and Manor Country Park.

    This was the first time to the market since Covid19 hit, unfortunately the number of stalls had greatly reduced, so another fallout from the pandemic.

  • 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 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.

    The rose bush is doing really well this year, as have all the plants.
  • 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.

    Drink

  • 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 116 – June 5th – Platinum Jubilee Pageant

    The last day of the four day Platinum Jubilee for the Queen.

    A pageant was put on, again thankfully the weather stay dry for the performers and the people watching.

    It was good to see the younger and older royals interact whilst watching and shows how the Royal family has evolved over the Queen’s rein.

    The Queen made an appearance on the balcony which was great to see.

    A picture of Queen and the next 3 in line to be the Kings of England.
