Today has mostly been a quiet day of rest. I nipped out to the town mall and back in the car for quickness. It has been feeling chilly today due to a cold, northerly wind. This was a surprise when I left

Our town Memorial Gardens are looking marvellous right now. My pictures show some of the azaleas in full bloom this spring. I took a detour from shopping to walk through this small but refreshing park

I had a choice of either going for a cycle ride today or tomorrow. Tomorrow looked dodgy due to possible rain showers, so I opted to go today. Good choice! 😁 While out on my ride, I spotted this unusual

I'm always amazed how quickly dandelions change from the familiar yellow flowers into the equally familiar seed heads. It seems like a matter of days, but in fact, it is probably a week or so in reality.

My stepcount was mostly gained by the school run today. In some lovely weather conditions and a walk that included passing through a local park gardens. My picture shows a young palm tree with shoots,

Our weather temperatures have been rising daily for about a week now. Todays max was about 25°C. Not at all bad for late April! A great chance for a late afternoon cycle, which I really enjoyed. With the

Our weather is now improving, and the temperatures are rising nicely! This afternoon, I went for a short walk around the lake in Buchan Park. It was warm enough for short sleeves, and later this week,

Tilgate Park is such a lovely place for getting away from the hustle and bustle of life. We are so lucky here in Crawley to have a public park like this to enjoy. It is just one of many public spaces here

All the trees are now green. The fresh growth of leaves and shoots is always great to see each spring. There is such an amazing hue to the colour, a kind of yellow/green when leaves are new. As the leaves

The Bluebell woods are simply wonderful right now. You can smell the blooms even before you get into the woods! My picture here simply does not convey the scene very well at all. The bluebells disappear

There are some really nice flowers appearing now. Walking around Worth Park gardens today, I spotted these red Camellia blooms. Looking lovely under the covered walkway. Today, they weather was not very

Poor cat! 😐 ...and the owner. Lately, I have been looking at the maps of my area for new off-road tracks and routes. Part of my ride today was to include some of those new tracks and to scout for better

Family duties were the order of the day, childminding! Well, just the morning really, which is plenty of time when it's very young children 🤣. After that, hair raising fun, we went to a local supermarket

Part of my activity today was a short walk in Worth Park for some fun with my grandson. During the fun, I took a picture of a curious looking tree. It is actually a Horse Chestnut tree. Some of the branches

The weather early this morning was not good, so I waited until late afternoon before setting out on todays ride to a place called Christ's Hospital. It is actually a school and has a massive area of grounds

Shopping again! Why do I feel that I'm in the shops too much? Is it just me or what? There is not much else to say really, except about the weather, which could do with warming up a bit more. 😁. We seem

The Memorial Gardens in Crawley looked tempting today as I passed by, so I took a little detour from my walk into town. This is only a small open area of town, but it has so many gardens and hidden corners.

On my way to the lical shops I took a detour through the park where their is plenty of activity with the wild bird population! I admit that my picture is a little shaky, but there are no less than three

The timing was a bit off for this ride! A day earlier and the conditions would have been perfect. As it was, a weather front was passing by, which produced some rain, not heavy but intermittent drizzle.

Trying to keep three grandchildren happy all day is a challenge for anyone. An overnight stay included for two of them! 😱. However, it all went we'll, and they all went home happy 😊 . I suppose that
