29. I should have hired a comfy car!
I was stuck in north-east London on my way back from East Anglia with the traffic at a standstill. Having left Lavenham about 6pm it had taken me just over an hour and a half to reach the A406 which … Continue reading
Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections
This week’s Photo Challenge sent me darting back to the lily pond (whence I came??) for another picture of reflections from the Waterlily House at Kew Gardens! I like this picture because you can see the opaque glass of the ceiling reflected so clearly, … Continue reading
28. In the Wilds of East Anglia!
While in Suffolk I had great fun following many of the meandering country roads in the district – around every corner there’s always another wonderful sight to admire and photograph. Remember to click on a photo if you want to … Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry.
The Millennium Dome in the background has 12 supports (one for each month of the year) on its roof and to my mind they look like small cranes. I photographed it from Greenwich Observatory and thought it was quite a blot … Continue reading
25. Thorpeness – do I have a holiday cottage for you?!
Although there are plenty of run-of-the-mill cottages for you to rent in Thorpeness the House in the Clouds is quite eye-catching and novel from my point of view. I couldn’t stop photographing it. Strangely enough, because of its position, it’s a … Continue reading
Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreign
I had fun chosing a picture for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE :FOREIGN. I’m not sure how you feel but I am definitely NOT used to seeing THIS on a beach in Australia! A very foreign idea indeed! I love it!! What … Continue reading
