365 Project – Day 317

Beech Hedge. When we first moved to our house in Bath our garden had a horrid evergreen hedge up each side; it was ugly, invasive and was dragging goodness from the ground so out it came. Mrs Sixwheeler likes instant gratification in the garden but I am happy to invest in longer term projects and…

365 Project – Day 316

The Border Terrier. In my opinion there is no finer dog than the Border Terrier. This is Maude, who is a regular on this blog. Maude is demonstrating ambition over reality; typically Border Terrier. 13 November 2014

365 Project – Day 315

Bicycle and Plough. Relics of an earlier generation, an old ladies bike and the remains of a horse drawn plough. We’ve moved on a bit since these were considered to be state of the art.

365 Project – Day 314

Shackle and Chain. Saw this in Newlyn harbour last week. Not sure what it does but as there is a shackle, some chain and a bloomin’ great lump of concrete I suspect that it has at some date had something moored to it. 10 November 2014

365 Project – Day 312

Cornish Steps. As I’ve been traveling all day I’ve not had any photo opportunities so here’s one I prepared earlier.

365 Project – Day 310

365 Project – Day 311

Cape Cornwall. Our last day of holiday in Cornwall and the weather forecast was awful so imagine our surprise and delight when the sun shone. We have decided that Cape Cornwall is quite our favourite spot, so that’s where we headed. From the car park we crossed the field and climbed up to the day…

Cornwall – 7 November 2014

I was walking back from the paper shop this morning and realised that I hadn’t taken a picture of the cottage we’re staying in, so here it is. Not the whole thing mind you, just the bit to the right of the doorway with the open upstairs window. It’s two up and two down but…

Cornwall – 6 November 2014

Today’s been frightful. It started to rain while Maude and I were getting the paper this morning, by the time we’d finished breakfast it was horrid and we could only just see across the harbour. Leaving Maude warm and cozy in the cottage we headed through the gloom to Porthleven to visit a gallery where…
