I have a love-hate relationship with the winter. For example, there is a lot that I can find to like about winter – white fluffy snow, warm fireplaces, hot beverages, flavourful soups and stews, cozy clothes, skiing, skating etc. What I really dislike about winter are the short days. This is what I mean. Here it […]
This is for the heading “Stranger” in the photo challenge. I believe that he is a Maine Coon cat that’s a little feral. There was one in the area a few years ago, who just seemed to disappear – maybe he’s come back. Anyway he was at the back door this morning so I was

This picture is for the heading “liquid” in the photo scavenger hunt challenge that I’m in on Facebook. It is actually a close up of a bronze statue in a little parkette near where I work. The statue is called “harvester.” I guess it is left to our imagination to decide whether it’s just water
Elevenses is a fine British tradition – a bit like High Tea only earlier. It’s a little break in the workday about 11 o’clock, when you sit down and have a cuppa. It may be tea or coffee or something to act as a pick-me-up. Well, I didn’t really mean this type of “elevens” when
