Foxgloves in Devon This was an entry for the daily monomad contest the theme of which was skies. It is a picture of the skies over the Isle of Skye in the Inner Hebrides, off the west coast of Scotland.

John was working from home today so we decided to go out for lunch together. Not something we get the chance to do very often. We walked to one of our favourite cafes in Hove and I my had mushrooms in

What sort of beer is this? It's not how it should be done in the UK but it makes a good photo. :-) I've been working at my home office today. I had a few meetings locally so there was a bit of earning

Let The World Decide Whilst beginning the long task of reorganising my photos, I came across this photo of a piece of art I made some time back. (Sadly, I have yet to find a backup of the original file.)

I'm creating losing the will here. I've tried to upload a nice photo collage I made without success. I tried 5 times and now I give up. No more energy. I've got blocked sinuses and a nasty chesty cough

It won't be long before the leaves on the Virginia creeper start to turn red. Sadly this particular one won't do do this year. It belonged to our neighbour who sold up s month or so ago and the first thing

Pink Lacehead Hydrangea I'm almost sure this pretty pink Hydrangea is a Lacehead but I'm not totally sure. 😁 It was my entry to a Pink Flower Day Contest. Previously posted on the account @gillianpearce

These flowers are still blooming outside the community centre and putting on a good show. I stayed fairly close to home today as I'm feeling a bit rough. I've been fighting off a cold all week and today

The Show Must Go On Despite the grey, drizzly weather the day the Olympic torch came to town, we Brits were not deterred. Out onto the streets we went, celebrating and trying to catch a glimpse of some

It's still too warm at the moment to go up to the attic and do some crafty stuff but if I had a bit more time I could at least do something in a journal. Anyway that's for another day. I was working from
