Duke Street, Bath. I know that I’ve said it before and I will probably say it again but Bath is a beautiful place to live. I had shopping to do today and as it wasn’t raining and the sun peeped out occasionally of course I took a camera. After a stroll along the River Avon…
Autumn Leaf. Autumn is really taking hold now and there are some dramatic leaf colour changes taking place. I have the feeling that a good strong gale or a hard night of frost will leave the trees mostly bare. 15 October 2014
Door of the Day. Good Heavens, it’s been six months since I gave you a nice door, so here is one. You’re welcome. 14 October 2014
Memorial Panel. Saw this panel on the side of a memorial in Weston churchyard and really liked the texture and colour together with its rather corroded appearance. 13 October 2014
National Princess Day. Some of you may not be aware that yesterday was National Princess Day and it was celebrated in Bath by a mass assembly of Princesses for a charity attempt on the most princesses in one place at the same time. Sadly the record was not broken but many people turned out, music…

It has been found in churchyards since the Middle Ages and some specimens are very ancient indeed; the Fortingall Yew in Scotland is believed to be over two thousand years old. Yew has various religious and occult connections but in…
Police Horses. Went into Bath this afternoon and was very pleased to see the Avon and Somerset Police horses. These delightful beasts are always a huge attraction when they are in town, particularly with our overseas visitors and when I went over to say hello I had to negotiate a forest of ‘selfie sticks’. They…
Wind. Today I took Maude out for a walk and for the first time the day had a real feel of autumn about it. Up the hill we could hear the wind roaring in the trees and once we were out of the village we could see them really threshing about, as you can see…
Sofas! Another of the delights of living in Bath is The Little Theatre Cinema, this gem has one small and one tiny auditorium and shows well chosen up to the minute releases as well as a mixture of quirky and classic films. It also screens opera and ballet from top international venues such as New…
