I found a little estate built on a grid system today in Whitton, just to the west of the middle of nowhere.

Would anyone like to have a glass of sherry with me?

Don't mind if I do thanks szabs!



This is a section of the Nelson Place streetscape in Williamstown.
Buildings that were once ships' chandlers or banks are now geared to meet the requirements of tourists and sight-seers.

Still in San Francisco, this time at Pier 39 with Alcatraz in the background.

This is the park in Kingsbury where my aunt and late uncle used to walk their two labradors from the late 60s onwards.

So that's your living room Szabs?

Super photos! Szabs, yours make me just a bit "homesick" at times

Nice and sunny out today, though still cold, and Precious was fascinated by my neighbour's empty recycling box.

Oh I just love Butu! What a stoic expression. Aw!!

Are TARDIS sightings allowed?

I picked a little bunch of mixed salvia flowers, thinking they are the colours of our flag. Then I realised quite a number of us have national flags in red, white and blue.

A frost laden tree in a churchyard, took from the bedroom window of a property i was working in at the backend of last year.

Awww Butu, your adorable and don't worry, you will soon outgrow that cage.

Ren now that you saw my living room here is my pantry...

Liz this is just to make your mouth water just a tad!

These are the typical Spanish Serrano hams, they should always be hung, and the little white cups you see underneath is to catch fat drops, as the hams sweat quite a bit. This picture is taken in a typical bodega/tapa bar restaurant, where you can just go in for a few drinks and a plate of ham and cheese or other tapas.

Oh, yum! I found some rather nice packaged (and expensive...) Serrano ham here recently, but that is the real thing

Right when the Geraniums begin to make their presence known...

The Marigolds are starting to fade. They lasted three months. I plan to replace them with pink Impatients. But not until the orange from the Marigolds have done their part in giving me a little green, white and orange for St. Patrick's Day. Then by Easter this bed should be lovely, dressed in pink and red.
