church stretton

well i am back from my hols in the countryside. we stayed in a cottage surrounded by hills and lambs and bunnies. walked up some of the hills. drank lots of fine wine, ate very good food (if you are ever there jaipur does amazing indian take-away - so good we had it twice!) and were in excellent company.


visited castles at ludlow, stokesay and wigmore. very taken by the ruins of the priory at much wenlock. and the first ever iron bridge at ironbridge was smaller than i was expecting! and a sheila-na-gig above a door in the church at church stretton was the first one i've ever seen in the flesh so to speak. very cool.

there are many more photos but i need to go and watch my new box set of family guy!

home again

we had a swell time. sunny all week. i will get some photos up here this afternoon but in the meantime these are my babies now!! no watering for a week and look how grown up they are. i'll be needing to plant them outside soon...

tonight

had a lovely time tonight, thanks. glad we moved pub. here are my spring onions and carrots who will keep you amused while i am away. back on friday next.

help!

ok that seems to have sorted itself out but how the heck do i get my pic up at the start by my name? it doesn't have an url (that i can see) and it's just coming from my desktop. any help gratefully received!!!

oh the pressure

well i can't say this is going so well. first of all i can't seem to get a picture up on the first page by my name and then when i just composed my new bit and managed to get a picture to accompany it it has vanished from view.

sunny sunday

finally a sunny day off.
"you will find me if you want me in the garden.."
this is my garden today.

easter saturday

i am dying. it is all self-inflicted so no sympathy required. well actually i blame john for making us go to the pub on the canal because he'd never been before. it was rather pleasant sitting in the last rays of the sun watching canada geese terrorise coots sipping beer. us not the coots.

well as this is my first attempt at blogging i will leave it at that and come back later.
