365 Project – Day 33

I was surprised when I finally surfaced this morning that it wasn’t raining. Last night had been a late one following our annual dinner so there no rush to get up. After breakfast I put on appropriate clothing for a winter walk and headed out. When people asked me where I was going and I…

365 Project – Day 32

I may just possibly be getting a tiny bit fixated by the weather. I’m well aware that we British are naturally obsessed by weather and that someone once said of Great Britain that we don’t have a climate we just have weather, but, it really has been dreadful. After a drive to the Lake District…

365 Project – Day 31

Today I drove to the Lake District for our Club’s annual general meeting and dinner. When I left home the weather was dry, by the time I reached the Midlands it had deteriorated and the motorway north was frightful with spray and lack of visibility. In places there was so much water on the road…

365 Project – Day 30

If anyone read the note at the bottom of yesterday’s posting I didn’t go to The Lakes today but I am certainly going tomorrow, so this IS my last 365 Project post until next week. Today has been dry, phew, but very dull with thick cloud all day so the light is completely flat and…

365 Project – Day 29

Today I went to an event in Warminster organised by the local branch of the U3A (University of the Third Age). I had never been to a U3A event before and I must say that I was very impressed with their organisation and their ability to get well over one hundred people out on a…

365 Project – Day 28

I’ve often found graveyards to be a good source for interesting photographs. There is a really good one at the top of Lansdown Hill by Beckford’s Tower which I will hopefully visit again one day if it ever stops raining and the fields dry out. There’s another not far from us at Locksbrook which I…

365 Project – Day 27

Today has been another of unbelievably foul weather. It has been cold, wet and windy. I absolutely HATE days like today and I have gone to ground at home for the day getting dirty looks from the dog who also hates it but would like a walk. She’ll get one later. To cheer myself up…

365 Project – Day 26

Last summer I spent two weeks walking the first part of the Arles Way Camino route in the South of France. I enjoyed beautiful weather and some wonderful meals on my way. I was blogging each day about my experiences and was rebuked by one of my daughters for going on too much about the…

365 Project – Day 25

OK, so I’ve bought a new camera. I like buying new cameras like some ladies like buying shoes, coats, frocks etc., but I like buying new cameras. In fairness I got a good deal by part exchanging and old camera I’ve not been using and that pleases me no end. It means is that I…

365 Project – Day 24

Friday is the day when Mrs Sixwheeler allows me the privilege of pushing her shopping trolley round Sainsbury’s while she does our weekly shopping. This is a treat that I look forward to all week. I have to declare an interest that many moons ago I worked for J Sainsbury which I thoroughly enjoyed and…
