This small pool a couple of miles from where we live belongs to a local angling club. It was completely deserted today…

Day 220 – Chicken Tonight…
Our take on Beer Can Chicken… Chicken was rubbed with Jack Daniels BBQ glaze, and allowed to marinate for a couple of hours before being set up on the BBQ with cola instead of beer inside. With vegetables around the outside and the grill running at around 180°, it took about an hour and a half to cook and was delicious!
Day 219 – Just Desserts…
After a full day working in the garden, a ‘special’ gin and tonic was the least we deserved, even if we were almost too tired to enjoy it! Very handy having our own ‘cocktail corner’ in the kitchen…
Day 217 – Roses Are Red…
… and lots of other colours too. My wife loves flowers, especially roses, so this jumbo bunch of multi-colored blooms looked perfect for our kitchen. 
Day 216 – A British Summer…
After our hot and sunny week in Ibiza, we were not unhappy at the prospect of some cooler weather back home. What we didn’t plan on was thunderstorms and torrential rain this afternoon! Fortunately it didn’t last long, and we can expect some kinder weather next week. 
Day 205 – Does It Get Any Better…?
Another fabulous sunset, shot from the top of the garden. The local farmer, whose land is adjoining, has fortunately now cut down the tall grass that was blocking this view. How lucky are we?
Day 204 – Not A Birthday Cake…
It was our daughter’s birthday today and she asked if she could have ‘fruit’ instead of a cake… Well, no ordinary fruit would do so we made this watermelon ‘boat’- it was carved out and shaped, just as you would a pumpkin, and then filled with a selection of fresh fruit. Needless to say, she loved it!
Day 201 – Killer Cat…
This is Barney. Next door’s cat. He has attitude. He’s also very efficient at keeping our garden free of rabbits, mice and other miscellaneous wildlife. There’s barely a day passes when we don’t see him trotting across our garden with his catch…
Day 199 – Star Baker…?
This young lady was off school today with hay fever, and spent the day with us as her Mummy was working. One thing she loves is baking!
Day 195 – ID Photo…?
Our granddaughter asked me today if I would take a photo for her school ID card. She starts senior school in September – how can that be already? I got my phone out ready to take the photo, only to be told she didn’t want a ‘phone photo’, she wanted a ‘proper’ photo! So out came the SonyA7iii and we had a mini portrait session…
