A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Autumn Break

 

So have almost completed a week off work, using up most of the rest of my holiday before the year ends and my leave starts again.

Not bad weather in the main, mostly dry and temperatures up and down.

Have pottered about at home, tidying away some more of the knicknacks ready for winter, been out and about with Dad to a local camera club exhibition in Allington - good selection of images. Dobbies where the Christmas shopping started, bought the above gem in a charity shop in Allington, for the princely sum of £4 it was a steal, thought it would be handy for outdoor entertaining on the decking!

Sorted out a memorial with Dad at the Crem for Mum & Margaret, saw the tree below on the grounds:


How gorgeous are the colours on this? Autumn is such a wonderful season.

Finally we took a mooch over to Mote Park in the hopes of finding more Autumn colour - we weren't disappointed:




Again we struck lucky with the weather, just starting to drizzle as we were packing up to leave. Irritatingly the new Café facilities are still being finalised, were supposed to have been open this summer. Now looks like it could be nearer Christmas. And only one set of portaloos at the main entrance just isn't enough for a park area as large as Mote Park. Something else they need to remedy and fast.

Still the temporary café under the trees near the play area served up some awesome food, Dad went for the quarter pounder and I had the egg muffin - lush 😋

Likely to be back there next weekend for a doggie birthday party/gathering for Annie 🐶 Can't believe she will be 5yr old already 😱
