On another beautiful summer afternoon, I decided to walk to one of our local supermarkets via a small cricket ground. It was very warm, and I took my time walking through the park, enjoying the sunshine

Rain threatened, and it was cloudy all day. Very humid, feeling thundery too. However, I could not wait any longer to go for a ride. 😆. As usual, the woodland scenes that I passed through were stunning!

On a gorgeous day like today, what better idea than to be outside in the park. I can imagine that the beaches would be jam-packed with families on this school holiday. I am not a fan of driving to the

The fine weather continues and gives me an opportunity tomorrow to make the most of it and get out again for a nice mountain bike ride! This summer has been very warm and dry. It makes a change as summers

Well, I barely covered enough activity steps today, but I got there in the end! It has been a day of catching up on a few of those items that get put to one side. The trouble is remembering them, but once

Conditions here in the UK are unusually dry. The small ponds are drying up, and track conditions are very dry and dusty. Another thing to mention is that this makes the going very hard and bumpy. This

The roses are looking tired now but I managed to find a nice specimen amonst the shrivelled and tired looking ones. The days are shortening now, and it is evident every evening as the sun goes down. The

Tilgate Zoo is a great place to take children. This animal sanctuary is situated in one of our public parks, Tilgate Park, to be precise. The entrance is found inside a garden area called the Walled Garden.

A few years ago, I noticed a tree species that I had not previously seen, or at least realised what I was looking at! It was the flowers that caught my eye in early spring. They are a lovely lilac colour

For my off-road cycle ride today, I explored some of the fields and woods that have been obtained by a building company. There are plans for a vast housing project here, so I cycled over there to have

Most towns these days have gyms, and our town is no different. There are many, actually, more than enough, in fact. I have never been a member of one in my life! It's something that I have considered in

We are told that on the horizon is another heat wave coming. I say, bring it on! July weather tends to be a bit of a mix these days, alternating between low pressure systems and more settled hot periods.

Our plan for today was to go to the beach, but as the weather was not suitable, we decided to go to Butlins Holiday Resort in Bognor Regis. Temperatures were in the region of 18° when we left, but it was

I took a late evening walk to the local supermarket. I'm lucky enough to have two large supermarkets within walking distance, and it only took me 8 minutes to get there! There were two reasons for this.

These public park protection orders and regulations are very well displayed for all to see, but they need to be enforced and policed somehow. I suppose the ground staff would fit this job, but they can't

We are now well past the summer solstice, and it is evident that the evening sun is setting much earlier now. August is just about to start, but in typical fashion, our english weather is mixed. Tomorrow,

Continuing along with trying to fit in looking after grandchildren and catching up with other things, which can be a bit frustrating when everyone wants a piece of you! 😬. I am also surprised at how tanned

Holiday memories are fresh in the mind. 🏖🏝 After the return flight arriving in the early hours, today was to be a day of doing as little as possible, but the plan didn't turn out like that! All the usual

Our last day of our vacation 😢. Travelling back overnight is not good, but that's part of the experience. As I write this the following morning, we arrived back in the UK at 02.45 hrs! 🫩 We enjoyed our

There are some splendid examples of unusual plants and trees here in the Canary Islands. Well, unusual to me anyway! 😆. This picture of a tree with huge seed pods is one example. At lunchtime today, we
