Now that the ball has started to roll it has gathered pace, so not wanting to miss out it’s been another week of squeezing in a bit of time to check out my local spots. A long walk round Manea Park early in the week wasn’t very promising with very little to show for it. Continue reading “The flower show”

Power walking
On Tuesday we officially welcomed spring. To celebrate I popped out after work to check if its arrival had resulted in a flurry of orchids suddenly popping up. With, of course, a spring in my step. Not that I really thought they would magically appear, I had a shock when I stopped in at theContinue reading “Power walking”
Waiting for a lifeline
The well sculptured and rounded granitic gneiss so close to big rolling waves can only mean one thing. I was back at Moses Rocks. Today it was Josh’s turn to pick the location, and it looked to be another corker of a day. Arriving a bit after first light allowed us to enjoy, as LisaContinue reading “Waiting for a lifeline”
Still unknown
Lisa was happy to be greeted by a calm ocean this morning, a balmy air temperature of 7 degrees, and a very picturesque sight of the moon. It was heading towards the horizon a bit after the sun had come up, allowing a feast of colours to be added to the spectacle. I to wasContinue reading “Still unknown”
The lunar lunacy effect
A good dump of a couple of inches fell on us and the surrounding area mid-week. Despite the pounding sound of the rain overnight, it didn’t put Lisa and I off from heading down the beach to allow the poodles to stretch their legs. Unlike most days this winter, which have been clear and sunny,Continue reading “The lunar lunacy effect”
Sandbagged again
An intended solo mission turned into a roped session, as a result of Craig and Henry’s camping trip being cancelled. Choosing a location that would offer something for both of them to sink their teeth into. For one-track Henry that is easy, fishing. Craig would have been more than happy to take images all afternoon,Continue reading “Sandbagged again”
The spidermen
July is hotting up, relatively speaking. So much so that we haven’t had the home fires burning this week. This meant the thought of a morning climb at Welly Dam didn’t bring on the same level of fear of freezing winter conditions. Howsie and my fortnightly visits to this hallowed place have been somewhat disruptedContinue reading “The spidermen”
Two dozen please
It’s not like me to arrive late, but today it felt like I did. Despite arriving bang on the hour we had agreed to, both Mario and Craig were already parked up, packed up, and ready to walk in. To be fair Mario had arrived half an hour early so he could scoff some breakfast,Continue reading “Two dozen please”
Somewhere to hangout
In 1546 John Heywood’s collection of proverbs was published in A Dialogue conteinyng the nomber in effect of all the Prouerbes in the Englishe tongue. This work included ‘whan the sunne shinth make hay’, and yes I have got the spelling right. It’s origins were very literal being related to the best time to cutContinue reading “Somewhere to hangout”
Closing up shop
Most of us are lucky and the ups and downs of life, which cycle in response to so many factors, do not generally interfere with our ability to crack on with life. This week however the behaviour of one particular individual at work, who should know better, got my blood boiling. An overreaction some mayContinue reading “Closing up shop”
