Sunday Morning Musings - Part 139

Chilli 006

So where did September go? I'm not sure either , but I know I have to get back on the horse and start keeping LLWW up to date more often.

If blame is to be laid then I could say that the new job has a lot more commuting to it, but to be honest, it's not too much further and certainly a lot better than the last one! I could also blame Instagram (just a little) as it is so easy to snap a quick photo, mess a little with it and post it, and get an instant reaction. But honestly, I think I have just been lazy.

However, this weekend has been taken up with baking (Madeleines and Pear and Chocolate Custard tart) and completely cleaning out the Conservatory, so that we can get the tender plants inside, as last winter was so harsh. That means the chillies, rosemary, and thyme are coming in, and just in time as we had the very first frost that you could see this morning.

We are also looking forward to a week away soon with the family, in the Lake District, as we have done over the past few years. It's always good humoured, with a decent amount of exercise as we go walking, and great gatherings around the dinner table at the end of the day (or the very near pub!) I'm looking forward to it, and to getting out in the Autumn with the camera. One thing I do have to confess, is that I am not getting along with the new camera body as I thought I would, and it is not just because I can't just stick it on automatic, but I find that once I get any decent lens on it, the whole thing is just so heavy. I'll have to find a way around this, or go back to the old body.


And lastly, I'm leaving you with a picture I took a long time ago, and I'm not sure if I ever posted it, but I came across it again the other day, and it reminds me of so many things, I wonder what it will remind you of?
Have a great week, and thank you all for our Anniversary wishes, we had a quiet time in the evening, saying hello to a new addition to our friend's family, and she is very sweet. 

Look after yourselves

  1. Hi Roo -
    Lovely photos - especially the droplets of water.
    I'm wrestling with my new camera as well. It does exactly what I need when it snaps fine pics of a zooming two year old and it has a wonderfully swift recovery time. But I so enjoyed the range of zoom on my old camera. To get a comparable zoom on this camera I look like a paparazzo!
    Your last photo reminds me of when, as a kid, I used to climb the apple tree in our backyard! (By any chance is this the same subject as the swing photo you posted many years ago?)
    Glad work is going well and that you and Peter are thriving!
    Hugs...
