25 June 2023

Another warm day. It appears the 'coup' launched in Russia by the Wagner Group is over, unfortunately. What will be the longer term consequences?

Here's a picture of Rio enjoying the sun.

24 June 2023

Really hot sunny day. Went for a cycle ride. It was glorious and thankfully cool at ten mph!


21 June 2023

Midsummers eve. The Solstice. I should have gone for a walk down the lane to see the sunset, but I managed to catch it over our road. Next year!


20 June 2023

Another walk with Peter in Wincle. This time the heavy rain was not so welcome! Of course, after we had retreated to the pub, the sun came out!

I've tried to make the garden as bee friendly as I can. Not cutting the lawn and allowing the clover to grow, also planting bee friendly flowers. Now we have lots of bees to see!



17 June 2023

Good to see more rain!


16 June 2023

Went for a walk with my old colleague Mike in Delamere. We went up Old Pale - one of my favourite local walks. We also saw the preparations for the Festival in the Woods. Wish I'd seen Madness there.

Pigeon in the garden.

12 June 2023

Stormy weather.


10 June 2023

Adrian came over, and we went for a trip to Liverpool. A great day out with a visit to Ye Cracke and the Philharmonic. Returning home, we had a good Chinese takeaway with Susie and sat out late in the garden until the thunderstorm started (It's still hot and dry, as it has been for weeks).

A Trip to Knutsford for a U3A meeting. I joined mainly for the Tai Chi. Couldn't resist a crafty pint in the Lord Eldon.

5 June 2023

The weather is still lovely, sunny and warm. We went for a walk through the woods and down by the river. The ground is very dry and hard. Hopefully no hosepipe ban.







03 June 2023

A night out in Knutsford with Charlotte and Ash. A good time was had by all.





1 June 2023

Great to see the poppies coming out.

30 May 2023

Great day out for a walk with Peter. We met up in Mobberley and went for a four-mile walk recommended by the pub.





29 May 2023

I've been told this is an Alder beetle. There are lots in the garden.


28May 2023

 A walk down the lane.

 


27 May 2023

Rio sunbathing. We've had warm, dry weather now for a couple of weeks, and it's set to continue. I wonder how long it will be before there is a hosepipe ban.

Garden flowers.

Down by the river. The viaduct carries the main line to Liverpool.
