Driving through Eccleshall this afternoon I noticed that with a little welcome sunshine, there were lots of folks around. This group were enjoying a drink at one of the many pubs and bars in town…

Day 165 – Open Gate…
Sometimes when I see an open gate I wonder where it leads to, and what it is intended to keep in (or out). This gate however is directly in front of our house, and leads into the farmer’s fields. It’s normally left closed to discourage casual walkers, but has been left open by a neighbour taking their dog for a walk…
Day 164 – On The Move…
A ‘wrinklies’ day out – off to the Good Food Show in Birmingham, so a good excuse to go by train. Makes a change from using the car, even if it does take longer, and we had to stand part of the way back as the train was over-full… Still, a great day out overall, and here is the obligatory railway photo.
Day 163 – No Great Story…
… starts with salad. We decided to ‘perk up’ one of the walls in our kitchen with some wall art, and loved the sentiment here. So with it being cold and miserable outside, what better than to celebrate with a glass of prosecco!
Day 162 – Another Rainy Day…
So I didn’t really want to go out, but had some chores to do, and we needed food! I pass this barn quite often, and have photographed it in different weather conditions, but never as wet as this… It was always going to have to be a mono shot. 
Day 161 – Dead Centre…
Mono seems to suit graveyards…
Day 159 – World Gin Day…
Today is apparently World Gin Day, so a perfect reason to drink my favourite gin – Audemus Pink Pepper Gin. As if I really needed an excuse… 
Day 158 – Summer, What Summer..?
Fair to say we did not expect to light a fire at home during June! It’s been pretty cool the last few days and seriously wet, so sitting in front of the fire this afternoon with coffee and hot chocolate seemed a great idea…
Day 156 – Roses Around The Door…
This little cottage is one of a row of similar buildings along the High Street in Farndon, in Cheshire. It’s pretty typical of the style of properties here, although there are inevitably some very modern houses just away from the village centre. 
Day 155 – Mother’s Ruin…
So today the postman brought me the third ‘instalment’ of a birthday gift from good friends. Another two miniature bottles of craft gin to try… I’m rather enjoying this!
