Some lovely photos, there. I’ve borrowed the one of me in the pool for my desktop. I might even try and transfer it onto the mypod, if i have a spare half day to work out how to do it.
Apparently, a ‘sourcier’ is someone who searches for water, using divining rods; a ‘sorcier’ is a witch. However, as the sign was outside the house of someone who removes warts using a form of magic, maybe they practice both arts; or maybe they simply mispelled the word, as someone down the road from us presumably has with their ‘Junc Shop’.
Very tasty, indeed. That large piece of bark on the side of my plate was cinnamon, which we took home with us, to reuse … it was hard not to imagine a chunk that size having already made a number of previous appearances!
I don’t recall ever going to Derby, but there’s meant to be some lovely countryside nearby, well away from those monstrous cooling towers. I believe Darcy’s Pemberton Hall is to be found thereabouts.
I can’t quite see what it is… is it a man on a really high bike? How bizarre – guess it means your trouser legs don’t get splashed when you go through puddles! Surely a bit difficult for drivers to spot though?
I wonder what benefit there is from such a high riding position … what does he do at traffic lights – rest his foot on a nearby car?
Very odd. As you say, ‘only in Brighton’. Maybe he was an escapee from a circus.
When Han and I were wandering round Brighton the other day, we came across this in a sweetshop window. It’s made out of jelly beans…
Some good pictures there – but do I have to click on each of them separately to see them full size? Is there some easier viewing option? Maybe a slideshow …
Shame Geoff didn’t catch you doing your ‘jump’!
indeed. The “jump”! The kite was already quite overpowered when a freak gust yanked me fully some meters in the air and many more forward, where I proceeded to land on my knees ruining my “good” trousers and also my knees.

I’ve uploaded a few photos from a recent trip to London and camping in cornwall. We stayed a couple of nights near Axeminster in a bed and breakfast, taking in a meal at the River Cottage Canteen (very tasty) and a look at Lyme Regis (we didn’t find any fossils worth bringing home). Once we’d driven to Cornwall and pitched the tent for a planned four night stay, a barrage of non stop wind and regular rain commenced, and after a couple of nights we decide it wasn’t worth the fight and popped home early. But we’d had a couple of good days, fitting in a couple of surfing sessions, a coastal walk and visiting a castle and a couple of towns.
The Cobb looks lethal. I wonder how many people get swept off it.
some photos of t, g, r and o, and p, s and a visiting.

I was passing through SCATS stores the other day and discovered that they stocked Thor’s Hammer. Handy!
Now, that’s what I call a rubber mallet. Presumably you bought it, to hammer home the corner posts of your vegetable bed?
Let’s hope your cats don’t see it as a giant litter tray”
Hammering in those posts into the rock hard earth and removing the turf from the flower border to bulk out the raised bed have not only knackered by back but most of my other muscles as well!
Thankfully, there isn’t much more to be done…
Lulu ‘christened’ the patch with a No. 1 as the last sack of compost was being emptied. Fortunately, she was so distraught by the powdery nature of the soil sticking to her paws, that she hasn’t gone near it since.
Started work on the raised vegetable beds this evening. Hard work!
That looks great. Remember to leave a small pathway alongside the fence, so you don’t have to step on the bed.
We are planning to use the concrete fence supports as part of the raised bed (instead of more wood). I found some spare patio tiles and some bricks down the side of the garage. I though these could be used as stepping stones between the veg. Do you think that would work?
That should work fine.
Excellent photos – though I find they’re easier to view in Picasa, with its slideshow, than clicking individually.
how do you add photo’s then? not obvious, if i might make one criticism!! also, not sure about the Hey Ginger greeting
photos are added in the normal manner. “Dashboard” -> “new post”, etc.
posting via the front page is text only i’m afraid.

diets all round I say! I was looking in the mirror the other day – slightly too much of the heifer around the waist, and bluboid on the arms !!
