For our village show in the summer I am entering the arts and crafts section. One of the categories is a crocheted stuffed toy. I've made this elephant from little granny squares crocheted together.
Very happy to get this shot, it's something I've not seen before... a Long Tailed Tit hunting flies in the air above the treetops! 😀😍
Taken yesterday at RSPB Ham Wall in Somerset. 🐦
@oldmapman I’m sorry to hear that Ken. I’ve really enjoyed your reporting from Burnham. Hope you continue to enjoy adventures, book hunting and scrumptious cakes.
I joined twitter all those years ago to promote my old map walks. Now they are memories, I find I'm tweeting the delights of going to Maldon, egg on toast and a pot of tea in Sophie's tea room. So I've decided with nothing more to say I'm leaving twitter, thanks for your support.
Here in Burnham, the new air ambulance shop opens next Friday 6th Feb. They are just moving along a few doors into much bigger premises. Exciting times!
In spite of the lively weather, I had a lovely day in Maldon yesterday. Charity shop finds - set of Essex walking maps and an Alan Godfrey old O/S reprint Chelmsford (south) 1895 - had brunch in Sophie's tea room - scrambled egg on toast and a pot of tea!
Lovely day in Maldon yesterday. Bought copy of Night Life by @JLewisStempel in Maldon Books , carrot cake and a pot of tea in Sophie's tea room, then back up the hill for the bus home.
Sat on the bench by the clock tower yesterday, waiting for the bus.Unexpectedly the conversation with the person sat next to me moved from the weather to we had both had strokes, we both had a hand that was locked. In that moment I felt a little less alone.
@Icelass We go there when we visit the area. It’s a lovely place to sit, watch the sea, have nice food and the staff are friendly. Last time we went there were two chaps at a table and one sounded to be teaching the other Italian. I love eavesdropping. Makes life interesting 😊
