As promised new dog Photo
She still has no name yet. It has rained all day so after listening to the Archers and Desert island discs I made a cake, success, bread, failure and dinner beef stew and blue cheese dumplings, success, whilst listening to some good music.
Wedding
There was a wedding in the village today, our neighbours Joel and Carla got married, lots of guests all in their best attire. The sun came out after a shakey start to the day and stopped out for the duration.
Logs, what else?
I thought the ends of these logs would make an interesting photo I have been watching the ends split over the last week or so into spidery patterns.

So I have used one I took aContinue reading “oops not taken a photo today so made one instead”

Autumn colours
Natures autumnal colours are here and the leaves are beginning to fall, the type of stones in the wall are everywhere in the ground left behind I imagine by retreating glaciers in the ice age. All of the older houses including ours are built in this way. We had the most bizarre dining experience forContinue reading “Autumn colours”
