Framed

R and I went into Stratford this morning, to run a few errands in advance of a three-night visit by the Boy Wonder. I’m not going to pretend that we’re in no way apprehensive about this, but he’s been asking … Continued

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

I took this, and a few other shots of a few other gulls, during a walk-and-coffee-and-cake break in what was otherwise quite a demanding day. As well as all the usual stuff (shopping, cooking, more shopping, more cooking, etc.), I … Continued

Hanging on
