Whilst cutting the lawn in the front my eye caught our lovely fuchsias. The detail on the flower heads always amazes me, especially in the sunshine and always makes me think of the late Mother-in-law. She loved her garden and a lot of the fuchsias come from cuttings of her plants from North Devon. WheneverContinue reading “June 23rd – Memories of people passed”

June 29th – upcycling project
It’s finished…. Well nearly. We are waiting on our friends at Amazon to deliver a waterproof varnish, but the wife has done a great job transforming our rusty old garden table with a repaint and mosaic makeover.
June 28th – Festivals
Like so many others, we are missing live music due to Covid-19. Today’s picture is one dug out from the archives which I hope captures the atmosphere at Glastonbury, where we should have been today.

June 21st – Birthday
A short post today as I rack up another digit on the age abacus. My wife and I agreed not to buy presents because if we want anything, it is ordered and usually arrives the following day. My favourite present is presence. Seeing friends and family, and making memories are priceless gifts for me. MyContinue reading “June 21st – Birthday”
