Lots of lovely apricots from July. 😋

Big bag of fresh apricots. Bright, orange and juicy.

@silverpebble2.bsky.social saw this on FB Marketplace and thought of you in case you need more Victorian ink bottles.❤️

#OnThisDay 3rd November 2014, a beautiful treehouse I saw and wanted on a solo trip to Aveyron, France.

Splendid treehouse with brown wooden sides, a pitched grey roof and a wooden staircase leading up to it. It is halfway up an oak tree. The photo is taken at dusk.

Hand on heart not the first bird I “saw” this morning but the first one my distracted mind registered: a red kite, balancing on the restless air above, eyeing up a mangled pheasant on the road for his/her breakfast. #FirstBirdOfTheDay

Why am I still astounded at the delusional 🐂💩 this knobhead comes out with?!

You’re probably right, he’d need supervision. Although there’s always a chance the loppers might slip….🪓🪚👀

Ha! You’ve just made me think of a brilliant new occupation for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Rhodo basher/spoon whittler: Sandringham Estate is absolutely covered in them. Should keep him out of mischief. 🤣

Sorry, Rhodo’s are poisonous to goats. And even deer in large quantities which is why nothing will eat the bloody things. 😕

#OnThisDay 2nd November 2016. Bit of a dull photo today, sorry. This is an old pine console table I made into a wash stand for the downstairs loo.

White painted wash stand made from an old console table. The paint is rubbed down in a shabby chic style. The wash basin is rectangular and sits on top of the washstand.

Hellllllloooo? Are you there? Please help birds by sharing this if you also want to ensure swifts & other urban birds have homes alongside us. People power works but only if we work together. SAVE OUR SWIFTS.

Of course it is.

Mussolini and Hitler and Franco all blamed immigrants to seize power.

The same old playbook is being used.

Not all that crap for November. I’m a few miles south west of Cley it was windy today but sunny and quite mild. Pouring now though. 🤣Such a gorgeous N Norfolk view!

Louise Broad @lou65broad.bsky.social · 2d

Good

It’s awful here. I’ve got 3 teenagers and we live in a rural area. They are basically trapped into having to have a car if they want to go anywhere. They wouldn’t even be able to get to school, college or work. As well as needing to be free or cheap, there needs to actually be buses running.

Drying on the line is one of the best things about summer. 😎

Louise Broad @lou65broad.bsky.social · 2d

Get a second box so when you have had enough, you can put them in it and put them away. Then you’ll know which you have already been through when you pick it up again. X

Louise Broad @lou65broad.bsky.social · 2d

It was a close thing. The dog looked a bit concerned at one point. 🤣

Louise Broad @lou65broad.bsky.social · 2d

🤣

Louise Broad @lou65broad.bsky.social · 2d

Oh that’s brave. I’ve started this task about half a dozen times and have ended up putting them all back in the box each time.

Louise Broad @lou65broad.bsky.social · 2d

Oh it’s your fault is it!?🤣

Louise Broad @lou65broad.bsky.social · 2d

I hope you have a lot of pegs! 💨

Louise Broad @lou65broad.bsky.social · 2d

Mild, sunny and windy down here in Norfolk too. I love the wind though. I have my bedroom window open at night and love to feel it blowing across me. The curtains were really flapping last night. 🤣

#OnThisDay 1st November 2016. My then 10 year old daughter at her riding lesson on Black Jack. He was one of her favourite naughty ponies. She has her usual serious, deep concentration expression on and Black Jack looks as though he’s plotting his next naughtiness.

10 yr old girl trotting on a shiny black pony in the sunshine at an outdoor riding arena. She is wearing a rainbow patterned riding helmet, a navy sweater and body protector, and grey jodhpurs. Her face is serious, obviously deeply concentrating.

It’s a sunny, cloudless but windy morning here in Norfolk. Many little birds were flitting around when I looked out this morning but, as I didn’t have my glasses on, the #FirstBirdOfMyDay which I identified was a big, fat woodpigeon stomping around on the lawn.
