Autumn Glory

You just can't beat the UK Autumn colours this year. We have had the most glorious Autumn with the countryside looking magnificent in it's Autumn Glory. We are so lucky in the UK to have these wonderful seasonal changes. I've travelled to many parts of the World but nothing can beat our seasons here. I am thankful for my eyesight, something I take for granted!! Enjoy.

UK Great - Delightful Durham.

Had cause to drop in on Durham last Friday,what a pleasant City and a delightful evening. We are so lucky in the U.K. there are so many delightful treats tucked away in all corners of our Country everywhere on this island of ours and so much History aren't we lucky Brits!! Bring back proper history teachers we have a History to feel very proud of - well sometimes! Some shots of Durham in the evening, enjoy.

Another Great Sunrise

Early morning one day last week what a view from the window. Enjoy.

Never Too Old

Never too old for a party they say. However when you get caught out by the youngest grandchild for cheating in a Halloween game and then when attempting to hide said act, another grandchild produces a picture to prove you were cheating - well maybe one has to admit the game's up!! Methinks I need to change my strategy next time!!

Blackberry Preferences

Everyone seems to have a Blackberry these days or sends me messages indicating that it was sent from a Blackberry. How ridiculous is that? Blackberries can't do things like that - well not the ones I know anyway. Mine are like the ones in my pics. Sweet, tasty and make fantastic pies when mixed with apples.

Where on earth did the inventors get the name 'Blackberry' from anyway and why is it called a blackberry?? Looks nor tastes anything like one!! Methinks I must be off this planet again.

I prefer my type apart from the prickles one has to encounter to get at them but it's worth it when you eat them in a pie with loads of Custard. Can't beat it. Give me back my natural blackberry at least it's reliable and not a danger to one's eyes (well only

if you duck the brambly bits that you have to fight back to get to the best berries!!), ears or general health and certainly a lot less stressful to handle!! Now back to my crumble - scrummy:)

What a Wonderful World

Early morning, breakfast over, looking out the window and saw the most amazing sunrise this morning. The clouds were a mass of pinks, greys and stunning blues and I just sat in awe as the dawn started to break. Wake up Sue get the camera and capture this, although its never quite the same on a photo as the real thing but the memory will always be there. Darn it, camera never to hand when I need it time running out and the sky is changing by the minute. Eventually finding said piece of equipment I dashed outside to take these shots all of which only took 10 minutes but the sky changed so dramatically it was like a play unfolding before my eyes - amazing. Is it me or have we been more than blessed with an unusual number of the most gorgeous sunsets and sunrises this year than I can ever remember in my lifetime? Perhaps it's an age thing, you notice more when you get to this end of the life-cycle or what -and you appreciate every single day or perhaps in this case every few minutes as Phoebe (as my Dad always used to call the sun) peeps her head up above the horizon to welcome a new day? I hope I am blessed with an equally gorgeous sunset this evening. No wonder the ancients of this world worshipped the sun I can understand them being in awe - truly amazing. Readers I hope you enjoy a little of what my amateurish capturings have achieved. Don't we live in a truly wonderful world??
