On the road?

Mobile home, 4/7/25

Following on from Wednesday, another picture of someone with a less-than-orthodox approach to their housing arrangements. I know of people (hi, Beth & Steve) who live permanently in such a manner but it’ll never be for me, there are too many home comforts of which I am fond and which a mobile home or narrowboat is never going to give me. But on a day when ‘independence’ might be on the minds of some, each to their own.

Natural Xmas decoration

Pine trees and hogweed, 25/12/24

Really, not an exciting Christmas Day, but are they ever, these days? A pleasant one though, and mild, so Clare and Joe were dragged out on the usual pre-consumption walk, where was captured this piece of hogweed in front of the pine (Christmas) trees, simply because I like the shape it makes. A natural candelabrum, maybe.

Anyway — a happy Christmas to you all, I hope you enjoyed the day, however it was spent.

The sun comes out, briefly

Mermaid in car, 15/2/21

It was about 12ºC today, compared with -2ºC on Saturday. The sun shone for a couple of hours in the afternoon and, just for a moment, there were intimations of spring. This lady appears to be enjoying it, albeit from behind glass.

Rudolf does his thing

Monday 23rd December 2019, 10.00am (day 3,042)

Rudolf, 23/12/19

More Christmas decoration, this time our annual harvesting of one of the house’s copious collection of sheep skulls for the usual Gothic effect. I spent all day at home working, but now I’m done. Christmas, whatever that means or represents — here we are.

Rudolf, 20/12/17

It’s about time my annual contribution to the house’s Christmas decorations made the blog.
