Nature’s bounty

This will be our fourth Summer with our small “allotment” of land. Things seems to be hotting up early with broad beans, beetroots, chard, spring onions and honeysuckle flowers already cropping!


A couple of weeks later, we’re getting more of the above, plus gladiolas, sweet peas, mangetout and courgettes:

Three Cliffs Bay

Our yearly trip to Three Cliffs Bay on the Gower peninsular, beyond Swansea and Mumbles. Better pictures HERE. We walked from Southgate, to the east. Lucy had a fabulous time!

Tarka Trail, part two

We cycled part of the Tarka Trail a month ago, but we haven’t trained Lucy to ride a bike yet, so this time we walked, with her, a 13 mile section from north of Great Torrington to Meeth.

Parfum de chien

1. Find a dog;
2. Add to water;
3. Inhale.

Lucy

It’s been nearly six years since our last dog, the globe-trotting Archie, died. We have adopted a Welsh Collie, Lucy, who is about seven and already doing her best to wear us out! We’re still trying to get used to those huge ears, which I’m sure get bigger each day. There’ll be many more pictures, I expect, in future months. And years, we hope.

The Saatchi Gallery

Good old Charles Saachi. It really is a fabulous gallery. And it’s free, which suits we poor pensioners (saves money for a decent bottle of wine with lunch!)

Two pictures of Sally and me.

Three views of the same work:

Plus some others:
