On my own at home today as ‘The Boss’ was out at a baby shower. So a perfect opportunity to indulge in one of my favourite lunches – beans on toast. Even better as it was home made bread….

Day 144 – Cast A Long Shadow…
Walking home along a country lane this evening, the setting sun was behind us and cast the most amazing shadow…
Day 143 – Eating Out Again…
After 2 weeks of fabulous food during our 2 weeks in Cornwall, it was back to normal today. However, with no food in the fridge, lunch out seemed a good idea, so it was off to our favourite local restaurant. Halloumi Fritters and salad was the dish of the day and tasted pretty good. 
Day 126 – Nice Motor!
Spotted outside our local restaurant this evening – a rather snazzy Maserati. Very smart indeed…
Day 123 – Straight & Narrow…
Not a crop we see around these parts very often, these potato plants were doing very well, helped along by some milder and wetter weather. I was struck by the geometric straight lines

Day 122 – Swing Low, Sweet Chariot…
Although ostensibly we installed these swings in the garden for our two granddaughters, I suspect they also fulfilled a long term ambition of my wife to have something she never had as a child… Anyway, they all get pleasure from them, so that’s the main thing I reckon. 
Day 120 – A Sinking Feeling…
Our local farmer has a store area where he keeps ‘bits and pieces’ (aka junk) that might ‘come in handy’ one day… These were some large Belfast style sinks formerly used as drinking troughs, but now replaced. I wonder how long they will stay there…
Day 119 – A Step Too Far …
Pushing the sliders all the way in Lightroom shows what can (and probably shouldn’t) be done with images – I prefer a more natural look.
Day 116 – Crop Rotation…
The extremely hot summer last year not only caused low grass yields for farmers, but has left meadows in poor condition this year. Several of our local dairy farmers have had to plough up meadows this year and plant with maize to give the ground chance to recover. 
Day 115 – Give Way…
Living in the country has its challenges, especially if you are in a hurry. On the way home today we found our way blocked by some of our local farmer’s 700 odd Friesian cows crossing the road on the way to milking. No problem today as we weren’t on a tight schedule, but there have been times when the 10-15 mins holdup while they cross has been a real pain…
