Today’s guest picture comes from my friend Ken, the ex archive group member. His son, Chris, who is visiting Perth, Australia, sent him this picture from a day trip to Rottnest Island, where he encountered a quokka. A quokka is not something that you see every day. We had another cool and windy day here,Continue reading “Paint it black”

Heavy drinking
Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She had a very sunny day today for a trip down the river passing under Vauxhall Bridge. By contrast, we had a very grey day here, but as it was quite warm at 8 degrees and we spent a lot of the day in the car drivingContinue reading “Heavy drinking”

It wasContinue reading “A quicker walk”
