Today has been a quiet day spent mainly at home. Actually that's not unusual, I spend most of my time at home. I used to have to go out at least twice a day to walk my dog but now he's no longer with us

One of the joys of having a garden is the wildlife it attracts. I particularly like to see birds in my garden and one of my favourites is Robin Red Breast. It's always a pleasure to see him flitting around

I took this picture at low tide at Porthcawl in South Wales a little while ago. I had forgotten I'd taken it until the other day when I was going through some old photos on my Google photo account. The

For most of our 42 years of marriage, my wife and I have had a dog, three in all. Two of them were a huge part of our family when our children were growing up, the last one, Khan, was around to see our

I had managed to avoid catching covid since the epidemic started in 2020. I have been a little nervous about getting it because of the chronic health conditions I have. Among them two lung conditions,

It's a beautiful early autumn day here in the south east of England. The sun is shining and the sky is blue and it's a pleasant 17C. I managed to find a sunny spot in the garden this morning to sit, watch

Today I completed my 63rd orbit of the sun. Actually, I won't have finished it until nearly midnight tonight, but that's just splitting hairs. So I'm relatively old and for many people that isn't something

It's been a slightly cooler day here in the UK after our latest heatwave. So I have been in the garden doing a few odd jobs with my wife. I was going to write a longer post then this, however my eyes are

I realise that I have been missing from Hive for a little while, and some of my regular readers may have assumed that I may have had enough of it and gone my merry way. No chance of that, I enjoy this

I took this photo of a comma butterfly in my daughter's back garden. I never used to see very many of these but there seems to be more of them about this year. Which is strange as there are generally less

It's strange how our tastes change as we get older. We had rhubarb growing in our garden when I was growing up. A great big patch of them. My mum and dad loved rhubarb, and as far as I can remember, so

"Change! Not more change" said Laura, "I've only just got used to the last lot of changes Facebook brought in!" "That's technology for you, you need to be more flexible."

I'm still in the process of a complete garden makeover, but I decided to plant a few plants behind a low wall that edges the patio and next doors garden fence. The wall isn't finished yet because the blue
