“You’re gorgeous, you are. Mwah….” The cold, clear weather of the last few days disappeared overnight, and we were left with drab dankness. Or dank drabness. Either way, it was horrible to be out in. But I really hate being … Continued

R had a couple more appointments in Stratford this morning, and as he’s currently not driving I had to go along too, as chauffeur. I didn’t mind though, because there had been another light fall of snow overnight, and the … Continued

Same old

Same old pain. Slightly better, perhaps, but not much. Same old beat, round Stratford between the bridges. A little quicker today than yesterday, maybe. Same old birds on the river – no chance now of getting out somewhere to top … Continued

We had to be in Stratford for most of the afternoon, and honestly, it wasn’t much fun. The rain set in fairly slowly, but it was cold, with a cutting wind, and the way the gulls and pigeons were hurling … Continued

It was another horrible morning, and for several hours it looked likely that it would never stop raining, but at lunchtime the weather suddenly and unexpectedly cleared, so we rushed out into the chilly sunshine to enjoy it while we … Continued

From time to time I amuse myself by wondering what people from the past would think of the way we live now, if they suddenly time-travelled forward from their own era. This pondering began at a time when I was … Continued

This is the pair of Mute Swans that spend most of their time on the canal basin by the Bancroft Gardens in Stratford. I think they’re probably the same pair who nest higher up the canal in the spring, but … Continued

Another day, another trip to Stratford, another Black-headed Gull. Though this image isn’t really about the gull, so much as the water. By now I feel as if I should be able to predict when the long lens will do … Continued
