Holiday, trips and events

  • 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.

    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.

  • Week 128 – August 28th – Will this help my diet?

    After the mess at Royal Victoria Garden Park, we came back and went to Ruxley garden centre and had a bite to eat.

    I decided to have a coffee sundae. It was yummy.

    So naughty but nice.
  • Week 128 – August 28th – Royal Victoria Garden Park

    Well the website said free parking, but there was none. Nowhere to really park either.

    We both heard a bang and wonder what that was.

    As we turned around to leave, a car that had thanked us for letting them out, at the top of the road had been crashed into quite badly.

    Why do people speed in built up areas?

  • Week 126 – August 11th – Good short break

    So the short break is nearly over. We have been very lucky with the weather.

    Definitely had a summer this year.

    After another lovely meal at the Upper Deck, went for a walk and took this picture of the calm quay as the sun set. The water looked like ice as it was hardly moving.

    Never been before, but will come back.

    We came back along the Dorset coast and went to Cliffhanger for some lunch and from here we could see the Isle of Wright.
