The other day we went to the local aquatic centre to get a cleaning pump for the pond. We were delighted to see some deer next to the car park and I managed to get some pictures of them.
We admired the large carp
These ones looked a bit like skeletons!
One day we will hopefully have a large fish pond of our own and I imagined what fish I would have in it!
Sunday was a lovely day and we managed to get out for a walk locally.
Although I only took the one photo!
Today I took Percy to the huge woods and park I often go to. We haven't been there since before the storms and were saddened to see several lovely large trees blown down including a fabulous oak. It was the perfect day for a walk, the sun was shining and even felt quite warm! A change after Monday and Tuesday's horrible weather.
Some large fungi.
This was dry last time we were over there and is now gushing at a great rate!
Some of the storm damage.
I had choir practice last night, having just joined the local community choir and really enjoyed it. I also recently joined an afternoon singing group which is jolly good fun and had a lovely afternoon there.
On another note....having reached the grand total of 1000 posts it is time for reflection.
Things are changing and after having no phone or internet access for the last four days, as well as some chosen absence from various online social network groups for the last month and a half I have decided that I really don't miss it much and get a lot more done! I want to focus on other things and so I have decided that I am going to be winding down this blog over the next few days or weeks. I haven't quite decided whether to take all I have on here off and just keep it for the odd photo and sharing I want to do, start another , or just stop altogether. Certainly the information on here will go to private at the very least if I can't work out how to export it all. I don't want to lose the last few years as they are a record for me, which is why I started this blog, but I have got to the stage where I don't want to share all this any more. So if I disappear, you will know why!
I totally understand where you are coming from, dear Lorraine....Blogging continues to evolve for me, as well. I am enjoying my art classes and spending time creating right now. If I have time, I blog...if not, I don't worry about it. I love incorporating my posts into my own journal. I think I have found just the right balance! Really, for me...blogging is journaling. If others take a peek now and then, they are so very welcome, but I really just do it for me...
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you are feeling better and your singing groups sound wonderful! Good luck with everything...
Singing is wonderful for the soul, especially in trialling times (though sometimes when I'm really sad I cannot sing). The photos are lovely.
