His progress through life was hampered by his tremendous sense of his own ignorance, a disability which affects all too few people
Terry Pratchett
It seems that in so many photos I end up being ‘photo bombed’ by birds. Sometimes you might expect it, but often it is quite a surprise – certainly in this selection I rarely chose to include the birdie!!!
This album will pop to the top of the list each time new images are added.
We visited the Abbey on 8th August – I must admit that the pic of the horse is an interloper – that was actually taken the following day at Danebury Iron Age Hill Fort.
Some pictures from Lancashire and Yorkshire during our trip to Rochdale
As we were staying just a couple of miles from the route it seemed like a good idea to hike uphill to see the passing of the peloton! I’ve tried to capture a few images that illustrate the atmosphere.
Are there any endings that we really want to happen? Even the best endings – the climax of a wonderful piece of music, the last page of a rivetting book – leave us in some way ‘sad’. When we have been enjoying something good, the fact that it has ended will – no matter how much pleasure it has afforded us – inevitably bring with it at least a tinge of disappointment. Indeed it may well be the case that the better the thing is, the more we feel a “loss” at its conclusion.
A visit to Southampton to see the Cunard Queens.
Wouldn’t it be awful if we knew! Yes, there are some things that we can say will (almost certainly) happen – but for the most part tomorrow is a mystery – and all of our tomorrows after that! I may be wrong, but if we knew everything that was ever going to happen in advance it would take all the fun out of each and every experience.
We had a great few days staying in a lodge at Wooda Lakes – and although there are far too many pictures of ducks and waves we did get to see quite a bit of a lovely part of the country.
