Getting the boot

Today’s guest picture comes from our friend Bruce. The War Memorial angel is back in place in the park and Bruce liked the delicate frosting which it had on it. It was another sub zero morning here today so we thought it prudent to walk to church rather than cycle. There were four of usContinue reading “Getting the boot”

A day of song

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary. She met a moorhen on a recent outing.. It stayed above freezing here overnight but it was far from warm as we cycled to church this morning. Only four choir members turned up, but as the hymns provided plenty of opportunity for cheerful singing, we did ourContinue reading “A day of song”

Green walk

Today’s guest picture comes from my sister Mary’s Lake District trip.  I have shown you some of her nice bridges so I thought I better include a lake too.  This is Grasmere. The main business of the day was our Carlisle Community Choir concert in the afternoon but the morning was free for other things. Continue reading “Green walk”
