LE GOUFFRE

20.04.21

There’s definately a summery feel in the air and the coast is looking stunning. Give it a another month and we’ll all be heading out for beach days.

BLUEBELL WOODS

19.04.21

Whilst the middle of the woods is still looking bit thin, the edges seem to be taking a little quicker. Really disappointing to see so many trampled patches and new paths made though the middle. Seems like there’s still a selfish few who ruin it for everyone else.

MILKSHAKES

17.04.21

Alana had Grace round for a sleepover last night. Took them out for wander round town and to a place the kids love, Shake It 2 in the Arcade. I have to say they do some pretty good thick shakes!

APRIL SHOWERS

16.04.21

As much as I try to avoid heading here too much, sometimes I just can’t resist the temptation!

BEFORE THE RAIN

12.04.21

Getting up before sunrise is now part of my daily routine, rain or shine, winter or summer. I find that watching the day unfold really helps get me motivated and productive. Some people run, some meditate. I earth watch.

BRUMATION

10.04.21

Trying to keep this one out of brumation is proving more difficult than I though. They can lie dormant for long periods over the winter, sometimes a few months but the general advice seems to be to avoid letting them do it in optimal controlled conditions. She still comes out most days for a run around to keep her active and healthy.

CHOUET

08.04.21

An area I often overlook with the camera, manly because the old landfill site is a few hundred metres away but it’s still an area that I love to walk and on a day like today, it felt quit special. The Thrift helped with a more natural frame.

CARIBBEAN BLUE

06.04.21

Snow in the morning, roasting on the cliffs by afternoon. I did start off with full winter gear but when you get going on the cliffs, the body pumps out some serious heat. The colour of the sea was amazing under the blue skies but the reality on the arctic wind made it short lived later on.
