My mood started to life today Thank goodness. And I decided to spend some time in my art studio in the attic. I haven't been up there for months so it was nice to be in a different environment from my

Sun, Sky and Birds Brilliant sun shining through scudding clouds enticed me to take this photograph. And just as I got out of the car the birds flew across the shot, giving depth to the vastness of the

Another tough day for me today add in really not feeling good. I walked to the other side of town this morning to meet a friend to work in a cafe together. Then I walked home. This afternoon I walked to

Birthday Roses Last week was John's birthday, but I don't think he's quite got the hang of birthdays yet. I got up in the morning to find a card for myself and two dozen roses. Hmmm. Isn't it supposed

Wow uploading that photograph took forever again today. I was about to give up! Is been a crap sort of day all round really. I'm surprised I've done at many steps as that. I thought I did way more yesterday.

Steps from running around after the grandchildren this morning. This is a picture of a dinasaur egg that they left to hatch overnight. It caused a lot of excitement! We all went out for a walk this morning.

More pretty flowers blooming in the Church Garden. I love walking past here most days and, at this time of year, there's something different to look at regularly. Steps today came from a long walk along

Sundown Over The Lake This sunset was the highlight of taking my son back to college, in Wiltshire, a couple of weeks ago. I miss him when he's gone so dropping him off is not particularly fun. However,

New blossoms today. I first noticed it by the smell. It's not particularly pleasant to be honest. Although I was at home I was petty busy stripping the beds and cleaning the spare room now my mum has gone

Queen Victoria Statue, Hove This Statue of Queen Victoria Stands at the bottom of Grand Avenue in Hove. Click on the link to see another post I wrote about the area, where you can see her in colour and

Lots of steps today. We took my mum to the airport. That's where I took the photograph. On the way in. First I helped mum with her packing. Then I helped her check in. Then we went to a restaurant inside

Brighton Prepares For The Marathon Last weekend you could find lots of these groups of barriers all around the local Streets near the sea front. They were there in preparation for the road closures for

Getting a bit repetitious now as it was another quiet day today. Most of the steps came from a walk this afternoon and then going out for my coffee later. I also walked to a local cafe this morning to

Quiet again today. I'm starting to feel really sluggish and need to get out more I think. The last few days I'm just been getting by my steps mostly by going for a long walk to the coffee shop in the

Glorious Grape Hyacinth It's been a while since I made a Saturday Indigo post since it is such a difficult colour to determine. Often the Saturday posts I see just look like purple or blue to me. However,
