  • Migrants Die Whilst Trying To Cross!

    Apr 24th, 2024

    About 400 migrants are believed to have arrived in the UK recently and on the day, five people, including a child, died while trying to cross the Channel.

    The crossings took place as the tragedy off the coast of northern France, just hours after Parliament passed new legislation aimed at getting the Government’s plan to give asylum seekers a one-way ticket to Rwanda.

  • Article: Four people injured after army horses bolt through central London

    Four people injured after army horses bolt through central London. https://f7td5.app.goo.gl/XUYxdG Sent via @updayUK

    I hope all is OK and there were no serious injuries to the horses or people. I wonder what prompted this to occur.

    Ps I have just heard, everyone is going to make a full recovery, including those lovely horses. 😍

  • TVR Car Show – At Burghley – 2016

    Apr 24th, 2024

    In 2016, I attended this TVR car show at Burghly, just outside of Stamford. I went with an old friend, who has sadly passed away since. We used to meet up for lunch quite often, however, on this occasion, we decided to spend a few hours at the car show. RIP Karen.

    Going to a car show is like stepping into a playground for car enthusiasts. There’s a buzz in the air as you wander through rows of sleek, shiny vehicles, each one a masterpiece of design and engineering. The smell of polished chrome and wax fills your nostrils as you admire vintage classics, modern marvels, and concept cars that seem to be from the future. It’s a visual feast, with every corner offering something new to marvel at, whether it’s the roar of a muscle car’s engine or the elegance of a TVR. And the best part? You’re surrounded by enthusiasts. I love the atmosphere.

    That is me standing in the background. I asked Karen to take my photograph, with my camera. I often ask people to take my photograph, if I am attending an event.

  • Colourful Nails

    Apr 23rd, 2024

    “I love having my nails prettily painted,” it indicates a fondness for the aesthetic of nicely adorned nails, possibly suggesting enjoyment in the process of painting them or the appearance afterwards.

    The photographs below show just how much pleasure I have had over the last few years, from sparkly to colourful, it has been fun.

  • A Robin In My Garden

    Apr 22nd, 2024

    Robins are often considered a symbol of good luck and joy in many cultures. In gardens, they’re known for their friendly demeanour and melodious songs, adding charm to any outdoor space.

    The well-known phrase, ‘When robins appear, loved ones are near.’  When robins are seen, some people take comfort that loved ones are at peace, and many believe that their lost loved ones are visiting them.

    This little Robin lived in my garden for a short while.
