Something strange has happened to our weather. Having had a sunny day two weeks ago for a visit to the ostentatiously large historic property at Cliveden, on Friday we had yet more sun. We’ll be getting spoilt. Friday’s bout of…

Houses of the Unfeasibly Rich #1
Let’s face it, I’m first and foremost a nature lover; wildlife and natural grandeur, that’s me. I am not a great one for fancy piles of the conspicuously rich whose gardens occupy the space of provincial town. Mind you, if…
Burnham Beeches in Autumn
Following our autumn colours trip to meet a friend at Westonbirt Arboretum recently, Carol had arranged a follow-up trip to meet the same friend at Burnham Beeches intent on yet more autumnal colour. It was fortunate that, having a pre-arranged…
Autumn at Westonbirt

Andy Anniversary
One useful diversion for me during the last colder and longer than usual winter was designing and building a website for our local U3A (University of the 3rd Age). I built it using my favourite piece of blogging/Content Management System…
