A sad and happy day today… We went to the funeral of my wife’s eldest cousin who died a couple of weeks ago. Despite the sadness, there was much laughter as relatives and friends met up for the first time in years. This was a simple and moving tribute. 
We are off on holiday (vacation) on Thursday, and I really didn’t want to go in a dirty car, so off to the local hand car wash. Have to say they made a brilliant job of cleaning the car, and at a decent price…
This is Daisy, aged 10, kitted out for her first lesson in beekeeping from our friend Andrew. I think she found it a little intimidating…
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…
I love great food, and tonight’s dinner at The Hinds Head was no exception. A small family run pub/restaurant where everything is cooked to order – no pre-prepared catering here! And a bonus – there’s been a Gin Festival on in the village, and the pub has a better than usual range available, with special prices for doubles. What’s not to like!
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…
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.
… 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!
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. 
Mono seems to suit graveyards…
