  • A great day out.

    We’ve been venturing a little further but still not wanting to put ourselves at risk. This proved to be a great day at the coast. We wanted to visit the coast at Skegness but didn’t want to be amongst large crowds. Our answer was to visit when most of them had gone home. We decided…

  • Amanda’s Workout

    Not to be beaten by the lockdown, Amanda has a workout at home. Here’s Amanda having her workout ably assisted by Shakira and, of course, Big Bird.

  • Tensegrity Magic!

    No – I didn’t know what it meant either but it looks impressive. This is one of Robert’s lockdown projects – clever eh? Here’s a Cluedo box suspended in mid air by some strings? Look carefully and you’ll see one small string in the centre between the two sloping rods. Could this be holding everything…

  • Bird Family Bath Time

    We move the garden camera around to watch different things and here are a couple of recent short videos. Double click the videos to go full screen. It’s the starling’s family bath time.

  • You gotta have a dream

  • Spring Flowers

    These are tubs from Rob and Zowie’s garden. The colourful flowers welcome Spring and also keep us cheerful at this difficult time. It’s good to have flowers in the garden. This tub of pansies is outside our back door and is a welcoming sight as we step outside. Do you have a photo of Spring…

  • Ruby’s a teenager!

    Happy 13th Birthday to Ruby Here are a few pictures of Ruby on some of the occasions when we’ve been lucky enough to have her company. Those who know Ruby will realise that she’s spent all of her life so far preparing to be a teenager. We hope that you have a great birthday even…

  • Easter II : The Eggs

    It seemed a good plan at the time – we’d buy Easter Eggs for the Grandchildren before we went to Colombia and then we’d have them to deliver when we returned. Little did we know …. So, rather than waste them we’re having to eat them ourselves. They’re tasting good, especially when combined with a…
