Bodiam Castle Here in the south-east of England we have such wonderous history and many-a-castle to explore. One of the castles we’ve visited before is Bodiam Castle in East Sussex. And last week, we revisited the castle at the height of spring. And remember, you can take a short walk to Bodiam Station, to catch…

Looking Up – Bodiam Castle
Just by looking up you can find a totally different perspective of architecture. Take for instance our little trip to Bodiam Castle in Kent. As much as I enjoyed the ride… I was finding the trip exhausting… two trips in 3 days, perhaps was a bit much, I thought! But alas, no it was the…

Flower of the Day – 23rd April 2023
Cluster of Daffs On Wednesday we took a drive to Bodiam Castle. Even though I didn’t feel good, I thought the fresh-air and trip would help. Little did I know, it was going to be no help at all. And as we headed back to the car, within the picnic area stood these beautiful upright…

He stumbled across some beautiful tulips and decided to take the shot looking down at them.

Floral Friday – FF#87 – Tulip
To get a break from what is going on… my dear hubby took me to Great Dixter House and Gardens… we were a bit early for the full tulip season, however I did manage to capture this image. Tulips have a special place in my heart, not only do they come in various colors and…

Flower of the Day – 13th April 2023
The other day we popped to Great Dixter House and Gardens, we had hoped the tulips were in full bloom, but unfortunately, we were a little early for that. But I did manage to capture this beautiful daffodil, that summed up that spring was finally here… next step is summer. Of course, I couldn’t help…

Mid-Week Monochrome #125
A man in a million Apologies for my abrupt absence but this year hasn’t been good to us, what with the loss of my mother-in-law and friend. And if that wasn’t bad enough… as you know, I haven’t felt too good since last November when I thought I caught that super-virus, but alas no… it…

Floral Friday – FF#86 – Water Lily
Whilst visiting Bateman House, in East Sussex, there are water features which host the most beautiful water lilies, I’ve ever seen. Graceful, white petals peaked amongst their green pads, each with a vivid yellow eye at their centre. Submerged in their basin of cool, still water, their colours seem to enhance the surrounding sounds of…

Flower of the Day – 22nd February, 2023
“The many varieties and wonderful colors of the modern dahlia make it a totally different flower from the one our grandmothers knew. … My father loved his dahlias, and I do too. And can remember as a child, them being the home of many an earwig. And as my school socks were on the radiator…
