A picture taken a couple of weeks ago now. It seemed to sum up the news that there is now a little more hope on the horizon. I feel that I have neglected this space unwittingly. When the whole pandemic situation started, I was determined that I would try and carry on posting regardless, ( […]
Photography
Sunday Photo – January Light
Just a day late, but the snow kind of pushed all plans back to today. It made such a nice change of scenery (literally!) and was great for the youngest member of the family who spent well over three ours happily pottering about in it in the garden. The older two don’t seem that interested […]
Sunday Photo – New Year 2021
Happy New Year (albeit a slightly belated one) from a cold and grey Winchester…. It can still be beautiful in the gloomiest of conditions, however as the above photograph taken from St Giles Hill hopefully demonstrates. Well that was a funny old year wasn’t it (just without the humour!!)?… I didn’t feel that inclined to […]
Sunday Photo – Christmas Cathedral
Winchester Cathedral in all its festive finery. Admired on a late-night walk home last Thursday after our anniversary meal at the Black Rat…
Sunday Photo – The Favourite Tree
Love this huge (beech) tree we found at a nearby Woods. Someone claimed it to be his favourite. Easy to understand why!
Sunday Photo – Remembrance Sunday
Not the best picture – taken late at night just before Lockdown V2, but these poppies have all been made individually and not only surround the Cathedral in Winchester, but lots of other parts of the city too…
Skansen – Stockholm
Anyone else caught in a perpetual daydream about travel and past adventures at the moment? I think for me started with the first lock down here in the UK, and has probably been exacerbated by the second lockdown that started yesterday… I have come to realise that whilst we might not actually be going anywhere […]
Sunday Photo – Beaulieu
Wisteria tunnel at Beaulieu during the week, still beautiful despite the fact it’s not in flower…
Sunday Photo – Cathedral Grounds in Autumn
Autumn is glorious this year… The colour of the leaves (let’s just ignore the yellow cone in the foreground shall we)? We had a quick trip to the Farmer’s market this year, cut short by a spot of energetic puddle jumping in the Cathedral. He was absolutely drenched, but had the best time. […]
Sunday Photo – Red Coat
Brasserie Blanc invited us to lunch yesterday to review their Autumn Menu (review over on my Winchester Eats blog). I wanted to get a picture of the outside of the restaurant as we left, but it wasn’t really dark enough to capture the glow of the lights inside. I loved the red of this lady’s […]
