our good friends dave and em came for dinner last night. they were our first guests this year due to our domestic reshaping, which is finally nearing an end.
it was great to catch up and also to play articulate which is a game i’d forgotten all about
what exactly are those burnt things in the picture above ?
if i could take this picture again i’d use a larger aperture to throw the distracting background out of focus. just so you know.
this dog is pink
and 4 miles later there was an invisible white dog
no need for the ‘to the’ in this sign, which is perhaps why they put them small. you know. as a compromise.
kezia said this sign must mean elderly people are people over 30 years old. but she also told me people put cucumbers on their eyes so they look like people with cucumber eyes, so i don’t believe everything she says. so i suggest you don’t either.
i found a jethro tull album to listen to whilst blogging this evening (Songs from the Wood). i’m considering reinventing myself as a pixie.
i had the day off yesterday and it was back to the thames path after a couple of months off due to construction/destruction and illness. we were all fighting fit (and nearly builder-free) so our short reintroductory 4 mile walk from wallingford to moulsford
here was the first view of the thames as we crossed the bridge in wallingford
what do you do if you haven’t got any signs with the arrows pointing the right way ? turn one of the other ones sideways obviously.
suckling calf. it’s their milk after all
oxford boatists
we passed fairmile hospital, which is now inmate less. it used to be owned by the Berkshire Mental Health Trust and now looks set for regeneration
and lovely flat water (notice the woman at the front and man at the back of this boat – togetherness)
red, green and gren
signage
boardwalk
under the viaduct
at moulsford we stopped at the Beetle and Wedge pub which was a very posh restaurant, but slightly less inviting for a post walk drink. but the view and drinks were still very welcome.
probably quite an easy one for londoners, but can anyone guess the building ?
esther, kezia and I went on the Henley Arts Trail yesterday. I didn’t take too many photos as it was too wet, and people’s art is their copyrights etc.
it really was a great day out. it was fascinating to see the different types of artists and see their studios. everyone was so nice and jolly.
so, all in all, another great bank holiday weekend activity !
