It was a warm day. I could feel spring coming. I walked out to the Common, sat at a bench, and had an early lunch while enjoying the view. For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday
It was a big sky day
Flowers of support outside the embassy
It was a dreary day. Rain drizzled down from grey London skies. I asked my manager if I could visit the Ukrainian embassy to offer a small gesture of support. She gave me some time away from work to do so. It took about an hour to get there. And it was nice to see... Continue Reading →
Patron saint of bridges and confessors
You’ll see this statue of John of Nepomuk on Charles bridge if you visit Prague. Legend has it he was chained and thrown into the Vltava river to drown for not divulging the confessions of the Queen of Bohemia. The image was taken with the iPhone and edited using the Hipstamatic App. For Debbie’s Six... Continue Reading →
Blooming Odd
This masterpiece is by Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder. Called A Still Life of Flowers in a Wan-Li Vase, it was painted around 1609! It hangs in the National Gallery, London. It’s a beautiful vase of flowers. There’s nothing odd about that, you may say. But you’d be wrong. These flowers could not exist together in... Continue Reading →
A working clock from the 1400s
It’s the third oldest clock and oldest working clock in the world. Found in old town square, Prague. We walked past it many times, but kept missing the hour when the clock would chime! Just around the corner is the place where 27 Bohemian Protestants were executed for their part in a revolt against the... Continue Reading →
So this is Magic the Gathering…
It was fun! I think… What I understood of it anyway. I think I got about 80% of what was going on. It was a close first game with our boy hanging on by his fingernails to win. He’s now asking for another match, but I think I need some time to recover! 😁 For... Continue Reading →
An odd little duck
Some may say a duck in uniform is a little odd. But we think he’s charming. Spotted the soldier in Edinburgh🏴 We were walking along the Royal Mile when my husband stopped at a shop window and pointed him out. He’s been ours ever since. For Becky’s Odd Squares Challenge

Flower of the day
It’s an old memory from Australia. There were orchids outside my in-laws’ caravan. The image was taken on the phone and edited using Hipstamatic. It’s for Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge
Zigzag
I’m still slowly going through the old Daily Post Photo Challenges. I’m now up to 1 August, 2014. The challenge was to show our interpretation of zigging and zagging. Here it is. A snippet of street art found in London. It was celebrating the NHS.
Fantastic time at the West End
One day to a newbeginning. Will you raise theflag of freedom high? The old songs have been going around in my head since we returned from watching Les Misérables on New Years Day. I've loved this musical since it came out in 1985. I must have been around nine or ten years old. I loved... Continue Reading →
