When we woke up this morning, as we were drinking our first cup of tea, we made a plan for the day. It was a good plan, and we were both looking forward to putting the plan in to action. The plan did not survive first contact with The Lad. He phoned us and withinContinue reading “1370 – Conversations”

I read a blog called The Gorse Fox. He writes about his life. Only a few paragraphs, perhaps four or five, rarely longer than that. I found his blog years ago, well before he retired. What I liked about, apart from the fact it was very well written was that he’d given everybody pseudonyms. ForContinue reading “1369 – Saturday”

Not got out enough this week, really must try and do better. Well, that’s one goal for next week, I should set myself another, but I really can’t think of one at the moment. I downloaded a list of shops on the highstreet from the council website a few weeks ago it’s dated 2019 soContinue reading “1368 – Not a good walking week”

This building always attracts my attention when I’m on the high street. I’d love to know what style of architecture it is. The shop on the ground floor is run by a chap who is very trusting. A couple of weeks ago, I went in to get a new screensaver for my phone. He putContinue reading “1367 – Brief Post”

I was playing with the phone, as I was walking around and unintentionally took this picture. It makes me smile. The walk this morning was very pleasant. Nothing much going on. The new road between the cross streets isn’t taking traffic yet, but it can’t be much longer. The bus stop is being worked on,Continue reading “1366 – Sometimes, a picture makes me smile”

So, this idea that I have had to get me back on to facebook on a regular basis, or at least try requires a little bit of thought because I don’t want to just dive right in, as i might miss something. So it will be a little while before I resume as I wantContinue reading “1365 – A little bit of planning”

I think probably about a year ago, I pretty much stopped doing regular posts on Facebook, I lost the facebook mojo, so to speak. A surprisingly humbling number of people have repeatedly told me that they miss my posts, and could I start them again The thing is, I want to start posting again, butContinue reading “1364 – Monday”

The picture is of a vase that was in the pub where we had lunch after the camera club walk. There was something about it, possibly the contrast of the background colour against the unusual choice of flowers. It all fits actually quite well. I started writing this post last night, with the intention ofContinue reading “1363 – Hobbies & Interests”

Ok, it’s not a good picture, but I was walking along side the Cockle pond, looking in the water to see if there were any Jelly Fish (there isn’t) I looked up to find myself only about 15 feet from the Egret. In fact, I got the impression that it was looking at me withContinue reading “1362 – Still Thinking”

I didn’t go for a walk this morning. No particular reason other than I didn’t want to get up. That’s OK, I was happy with that. I did feel a little guilty though. I enjoyed yesterday’s walk. but I had a strange feeling over part of it, feeling that I want to write about someContinue reading “1361 – Thinking while walking”
