Can you see the pale trailing track of fungi snaking their way along the woodland floor?
I love the colour of these hardy Nasturtians
Then there they were, roses, in November, hung with a dew and web necklace.
Have a lovely week.
Unseasonal Treats
Lest We Forget
My Grandfather fought in the First World War. He joined up with his brothers, he was just 15. Whilst fighting for Queen and country he was shot, but survived. When he was in his 80's he was taken ill, an X-Ray revealed the bullet, still there, buried deep within his body. It wasn't just the bullet that was buried deeply, but also the terrible memories, of horror and loss. Today, at 11pm we will remember and give thanks for the life we have today, and the sacrifices that made it possible.

I recently went to the V & A museum, I spotted something on the outside wall I haven't noticed before
I had gone to see the new photographic exhibition, but saw this as I climbed the staircase
which led to Annie's house
via Annie's door (apologies for photo quality)
with another, smaller house
containing
and here is her desktop
and some of the books she has used for writing her lyrics
also dotted around were some little vignettes of her time in the music industry
Well worth a visit if like me, you are an Annie Lennox fan.
The photographic exhibition for the record was small, it was mostly early photographs from the museums own collection, with the odd contemporary piece - such as an iconic Ansel Adams image thrown in. A narrated link if you're interested;
