A weekend with A & F
A weekend in Devon with A & F. Highlights included some climbing at Clip & Climb (A is faster than me!!! F made the top of the hexagon wall!!!) and Cream ~~Tea~~ Hot Chocolate and Flat White at Toast.
Saying Goodbye
Saying goodbye. H is off to University. It was probably a good idea that F didn't come with us to drop him off :-)
Boris
As Charles would say: "How's that working out for you?". So glad to see that we are taking back control. Although, as ever, the crux is who exactly do you mean by "we".
> A parliamentary system or parliamentary democracy is a system of democratic governance of a state (or subordinate entity) where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the confidence of the legislature, typically a parliament, and is also held accountable to that parliament.
I guess this is (Another Fine Mess)². Looking forward to the next in the series, (Another Fine Mess)³.
The water poet
The Water Poet has closed to make way for a redevelopment. But right now it looks like the building might survive, if only as a facade.
What happened after harvest ?
Most years the fields have been harvested, ploughed and planted by now. In 2011 it was done by the end of July. In 2010 the next crop was in by now.
This year, the wheat was harvested and then... nothing.
It's almost as if farmers had no clue who was going the buy their crops next year.
After five seasons
Oxford. Form the Westgate. After Five Seasons. A film about the gardens of Piet Oudolf.
Taking cover
Usually, the start of the football season is marked by the return of rain, wind and bone chilling temperatures. Not so this year. The first game needed sun protection.
Harlyn Walks
The bench. With faded flowers and memories.
