The lovely ceiling in our parish church, with decorations for today’s music festival, which was a splendid occasion, celebrating just some of the rich musical talent in our fairly small town.

Hello, little Geum flower, how pretty you are.

First poppies have appeared in my wildflower planter. Always delightful.

Had a little walk round Kingston Lacy this afternoon – gave the new camera a bit of an outing. Very pleased with the results; relatively easy to take decent photos with it, although I have a lot more exploring of its functions to do…









Just returned from my first exercise class in years. Zumba for -ahem- older people. It was good, back trouble notwithstanding. Plus I managed to fall over when doing some weeding yesterday, twisting my ankle, elbow and shoulder. So, my movements were slightly restricted. 😇
Beautiful display of rhododendrons at Exbury Gardens, in Hampshire, today

Lovely sunny day & one of my favourite walks completed: May Beck to Falling Foss & back.

The beautiful colours of a peacock. I may have taken a lot of photos of them today…

Positive thoughts, day 8: a lovely day out at the Washington (UK) Wetlands Centre, with my best friend. They had a Lego exhibition, with giant animals & birds dotted around the area.

Positive thoughts, day 7: a relaxing afternoon spent sketching some crown imperial fritillaries. I really am no artist, but I think they are recognisable.
