I do like a sparkling rosΓ© once in a while
I planted these violas last spring and they’ve resurrected themselves this spring too, which is why I suppose, their nickname is Johnny Jump-ups.
Phil sits on a stool in the conservatory to have a cuppa and read the paper. π€£
I am enamoured of the views from our upstairs windows, I like all the angles and lines of the urban landscape at the back, and I especially like Cheryl’s washing line as it’s so colourful. π
The front bedroom window is my favourite though for all the trees and our Happy Eater Tree when it blossoms.
My first attempt at photographing the grandkids on the contax.
My spider plant is taking over the bathroom, not sure what I’m going to do with all the babies.
When the weather is kind I go on walks around our area.
Hmmm. Not the done thing.
On the whole we don’t fly our flag everywhere as in America, a good explanation as to why is HERE.
On a trog over the railway bridge to go to Lidl at Pelaw i saw the trailing foliage over a lot of people’s back garden fences.
That’s it for this time,
Stay tooned π

I’m definitely not sure about the flag in someone’s garden. I don’t know that there’s anywhere local that you can see one flying, although there was a lot of Union Jack bunting around at the jubilee.

Yes I saw a fair bit of bunting but that’s all gone, not sure if this flag is permanent will have too check next time I’m over there.

Great to see Winnie and Vinnie, they always make my day!
How to you get Cheryl to color-match her watching in sequence? It seems to move through a series of shades…

Nothing to do with me, actually I think it’s her hubby Chris who hangs it out, I’m not going to ask though!

I agree about flag-fying. It is quite popular in parts of Norfolk, but almost unknown in Beetley.
Best wishes, Pete.

Wonderful photos! My spider plant has lots of babies too, I just planted some of them. Your grandkids are adorable, and your views are fantastic, I love the view with the clothes hanging, we don’t see it here in Canada where they all go directly to the drier. Happy July! π

Lovely images from that camera! Flags….a few people fly them here now, never used to see them, and I suspect when I see a flag that the householder is more likely than not to have anarchist tendencies. Something for some academic to study one day!

Very lovely compositions, I see they are thought more in horizontal lines of composition. It seems first time I see the Union Jack in the open, in real life, looks nice : )

You got some pretty gorgeous colours with Ultramax. I will have to give it a go. Love the article about flag flying. I can only really speak about flag flying in Toronto, Ontario and it is pretty hit and miss…more miss really! The hubby hates the “new” Canadian flag preferring the original one so the red maple leaf would NEVER fly here!

I know portra now the bees knees, but ultramax and gold do a great job. And are not as expensive so there’s that. We don’t have a flag here, that was a rarity for our area. Cheers Mary!
