I tried uploading a photo at work today so it might be my machine which is making the gallery act funny but we’ll see what happens today. We managed a second day where we had a short walk round the village after work.

Okay, it’s an issue with Firefox on my Mac at home. No idea why it just freezes all strange like with a blank screen whilst it tries to generate the code but at least I’ve now figured out where my saved posts are hiding.

Aha but it seems to work a treat using Safari. How odd. Now where was I?

(The one bright spot about this new WordPress install is that you can now click on my photos and see bigger ones. Happy clicking)


I love the leaves of this plant. We have one in our garden and it always fills me with joy to look at it.


More greenery but this tulip is about to burst into colour.


pao knows how much I am fond of Jolly Roger so we walked round to the church where we first met him and found him sitting in the driveway of what we know now is his old house.


But who is this young imposter? I have christened him Wriggler and he now lives in what was Jolly Roger’s former home. He’s pretty cute and awfully friendly. We watched him trying to get at some birds in a holly tree. He can’t be that old yet but he has the most beautiful coat.

We witnessed an accident on our walk today. A small terrier dog was chasing a black cat across the road. The dog just ran straight into the path of a car and bounced off its wheel. I was amazed to see the dog running straight over to its owner who was coming out of a wooded copse as if nothing had happened. If we hadn’t witnessed it and the car owner hadn’t stopped she mightn’t have known something had happened to her little dog. I really thought that little dog would have died on impact or been limping but it just shook itself and ran off. Are dogs more resilient to injury?
