We used to blow on these as children. -
Have you ever been camping?
Yes! I used to go camping with an old boyfriend, quite regularly. It was a fun thing to do. He had a small orange tent back in those days. We used to a have laugh together. The funniest time was when we were camping in an old field and it snowed for the entire night. There were several campers, who were all camping, at the same site.
When we woke up the next morning, all of the other campers had left, the field was covered in white snow and all you could see was our little tent just peeking out in the snow. 😁 So funny.
If I were to buy a tent today, it would look like one of these. I saw these two, during a visit to “Go Outdoors.”

This is the Theatre my daughter Kitty and I spent my actual birthday, last year. We went to see “Frozen.” It was an amazing production. I love going to the theatre so much. The very first show I ever went to see, at the West End, was “The King and I.”
The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, is one of London’s oldest and most prestigious theatres. It has a rich history dating back to the 17th century and has hosted countless iconic performances. Known for its opulent design and grand productions, it remains a cornerstone of London’s theatrical scene.

Now here was a good “Photography” day, just a few years ago. I had so much fun taking photographs, on the day.

I had such a lovely time last night. It was a friend’s birthday and we all went to the Toby Norris, Stamford for a lovely meal.

We had a lovely ‘family day’ at Springfields, just a couple of years ago. My brother’s gf Fiona treated us to scones, on this occasion It was lovely to stop off for some scones. I tend to go fairly often.

A Sunflower is a vibrant and tall plant with a large, circular head filled with tiny florets that resemble the sun’s rays. Its stem is sturdy, often reaching impressive heights, and its leaves are broad and green.
My daughters bought me these lovely sunflowers for my birthday, a couple of years ago. Aren’t they just beautiful?

Last February 2024, my photography weekend, led me to this lovely little town. I have a recollection of going here when I was a child. It is not too far away from Cleethorpes, a place where I began life in England, as a baby. I planned to visit both Barton and Cleethorpes.
Barton-upon-Humber is a historic town in North Lincolnshire, England, situated on the south bank of the Humber Estuary. Known for its picturesque setting, it boasts charming architecture, including medieval buildings and Georgian houses. The town is also home to notable landmarks like St. Peter’s Church and the Wilderspin National School Museum, reflecting its rich cultural heritage.

I stopped off to stretch my legs. I was on my way to Blakeney Point.
Langham Dome.
It was built in 1942 – 43 on the edge of RAF Langham. This intriguing building utilised innovative technology to train anti-aircraft gunners. This lovingly restored military museum was one of the first examples of virtual technology.
It was such a lovely day I love it when the skies are blue and their are blue fluffy clouds floating by.
