Well, as the farmers say, we need the rain. We had a really heavy storm earlier, and I was going to take a photo of that but a cooking incident hampered my efforts. I played in the kitchen again, and conjured up some chicken in Hoisin sauce, with garlic rice and black beans, topped withContinue reading “June 5th – Weather”

June 1st – Sundowner
Another fabulous day in the UK, with lovely sunshine, and a great game of golf with great friends. I got home from golf and shared a BBQ with our drive guests Clive and Sarah. Afterwards, we headed up to the back of our garden to watch the sun go down on a fab day, withContinue reading “June 1st – Sundowner”
May 29th – Dinner party
Just over a week ago two dear friends arrived in their motorhome. Clive and Sarah rented out their house to go on a 12 month trip around Europe in their motorhome. Like many others, this was severely disrupted by Covid-19 and they needed to make a dash back to the UK, but had no homeContinue reading “May 29th – Dinner party”
May 27th – Relationships during lockdown….
How are you coping? Living in close proximity to loved ones for an extended period, with no interactions with others can really test relationships In order to survive I believe it takes understanding, empathy, humour, and compromise. I normally drive my wife up the wall, but on this occasion she couldn’t find a wall soContinue reading “May 27th – Relationships during lockdown….”
May 25th – Memories
A year ago today we were at the most northerly point of the mainland UK, Dunnet head. It was our first ‘big’ trip away in Dizzy, and we had a blast. The weather was a little strange. When we arrived we couldn’t hardly see our hands in front of our faces due to the fog,Continue reading “May 25th – Memories”
May 21st – Small things
A little photo from my little wander with the woofers this afternoon. This little chap was busy flitting from one bush to another. I have no idea what type is, nor whether it is a moth or a flutterby…. whoops butterfly 🙂 but it got me thinking about what it would be like to beContinue reading “May 21st – Small things”
May 18th – Queues
The new normal? I’m not sure how many will agree with this observation, but since the 2m rule, people seem a lot more chilled and easy going. The queues I have been in are generally well ordered, and people tend to chat to others in the line. No pushing and shoving. Let’s hope it continuesContinue reading “May 18th – Queues”
May 16th – Memories
Again, love it or hate it, Facebook does pop up some memories which takes us back to different events. This time last year we were a few days into our Motorhome trip up to Scotland, and the weather was great. We took the woofers on a lovely walk on the Northumberland coast. Sitting here inContinue reading “May 16th – Memories”
May 7th – Make hay……
Today’s photo is of our neighbour cutting his grass…. makes my task look simple, but the old saying ‘make hay whilst the sun shines’ seems incredibly relevant during the lock-down period. There seems to be 2 schools of thought on what to do during the lock-down, be bored, sit and worry, or use the timeContinue reading “May 7th – Make hay……”
May 4th – As the sun sets…
I was sat contemplating what today’s photo story would be about when ….. Ping …. An IM arrives from my lovely neighbour…. “Have a look at the sky”. Well I see why. The sun setting over the horizon this evening was amazing, with the ferocious sun against a dark sky. Each time the sun goesContinue reading “May 4th – As the sun sets…”
