Time for summer - or winter if you're downunder.

The RAC could make road signs until 1964, adding them wherever they thought they were missing. They were usually enamel and had their badge on them. This is by the Severn bridge in Bridgnorth.

How to find a deserted beach during lockdown



Photo taken 3pm 1st June 2020. That's Lossiemouth in the distance, but the only bridge to the beach is closed. Difficult to get to from the other side. It took just under an hour to bike here from home (walked the last bit as it was too sandy). Only two other people and on dog in sight, and they were behind me long way off.

Old church turned into a bistro style place. Sandwiches and tea.

We've had some nice days, even though isolated, and have been able to enjoy our yard. Here are our Korean dogwood and waterfall.

That's really nice. Thanks for sharing it.

Here's what I've been up to...

Hanging out with Alice and the Mad Hatter.

The golf club I learnt to play on in Edgware is now Europe's largest crazy golf course, but they seem to have kept the real course behind it.

Everything at the North Circular junction in Southgate is new.

The New River in Enfield, without water at the moment as it has hardly rained for weeks.

The last rose of Spring


It's a little tired and the bushes are looking for a rest now that we're regularly hitting triple digits. They'll be dormant until mid-September.

Have you been? Chipping Sodbury.

How sad. I've got two red rose bushes grown from seed bursting with buds. My peach roses have sprouted a new stalk that produced three blooms already. These are the roses in my kitchen. My new rose bushes outside aren't doing well. I'd bring them back inside but I don't have room on the kitchen counter!

Our crepe myrtle trees are having a good year. They're almost covered with blooms but it shows better with a medium close up.
