into the inn
this is like a demonstration sentence for how to include the words in and inn in a sentence.
pez
i spotted this pez sweet dispenser in the gutter just as one of the friendly street cleaners was brushing it up. i asked him if i could take a photo of it and he kindly held it up for me.
by right, the street cleaners and i should be enemies as they always steal the good stuff before i get to photo it. but in fact we get on great and always greet each other with hearty shouts of ‘morning’ as we pass each other in the morning.
except over christmas when they changed the cleaning people and they didn’t respond to my shouts.
strange equipment on the platform
there were some train track signalling equipment boxes on a platform on a station i went by yesterday evening. i think it was part of a customer have-a-go-day. regular commutters could have the chance to prove they could run the train service better than the people who do it at presently. the train company are probably hoping the commutters are just all talk. but what if they really could run it better than them ?
ski lift
i hope you’re not sick of my mountain snow pictures. here’s another one for you anyway. it’s of a ski lift in the early morning
meeting up with blog friends
our lovely american blog friends Dan, Michele, Sophie and Susanna were in London so we were able to spend the day with them yesterday.
they were staying at an amazing residential complex in Vauxhall and had a great view from their balcony.
we went to Tate Britain where the girls did some crafting in the galleries
and they continued crafting in the cafe over lunch
we had a great time and the girls did too. it really is a pity we live so far apart
pedestrians look both ways
pedestrians look both ways – happy AND sad. smart AND scruffy ?
this season’s must have gallery accessory
why was this chap carrying a green and white rugby ball round an art gallery ?
the thames path – part 1 The Source to Kemble
we’ve decided as a family to walk the thames path and yesterday we went in search of the source. The walk is 184 miles long and starts here:
we’re following the walk using this book
the girls sang a song at the start to mark the beginning of our trail
you’d expect there to be some water whizzing out of this spring at this time of year, but there was no sign of water here, or across the field where the thames sometimes flows
however, once we were over a main road we started to see the path the Thames sometimes takes
actual water started flowing in to the Thames from this ancient spring called Lyd Well. So here we see the watery start of the Thames
and then we were walking along an actual, wet, river Thames
and an attractive little stream it looked too
we planned to walk for 12 miles along the river, but we only managed a couple as it was too cold for little Kezia who was frozen like a lolly. so we went back to the car which we’d parked at Kemble station.
to be continued …
