The amount of hours I must have spent on station platforms and this was the first time I have seen cars drive by!! And an enormous line of cars there were too!  Everyone stopped to stare!!

Good journey to Nottingham from Cheltenham Spa... Non stop and a quick enough two hour trip.


A couple of photographs from Broadway which we visited the day before I left the placement; a beautiful town in the Cotswolds, absolutely picture perfect, and quintessential England! I kept expecting a film crew to turn up recording a murder mystery or something!  The man in the restaurant knew the area I live in, and told me to visit a local restaurant down near the coast because he knows a singer there!!! Its a small world isn't it!


After my placement I had a few days with my oldest son and his family, my younger son came up to spend some nice time with me; it was a good few days... Then it was back to the airport and back to Spain! My car wasn't ready for pick-up, something to do with the fact I had told them I was collecting it a month later than the date I actually came to pick it up!!!

My birthday yesterday was lovely, went out for lunch, great restaurant I hadn't been in before, but at one of my favourite places! I think the day was so good, that later on I came down with a bang... having trouble picking myself back up today.

Travelling Road


Of course at work, can't give exact locations, but flower photographs aplenty!

I know also I should be apologising again at my tardiness of writing, but I've been tired, long days, and well just not felt like writing... Maybe I'll improve! Lol!


I am in an exceedingly beautiful location, between Cheltenham and somewhere... In the Cotswolds...


Surrounded by amazing gardens and learning more about plants than I expected too!

I've made cherry preserve, and gooseberry jam!



At a nearby steam train station last weekend I saw two groups of five red arrows do a low fly by!

Last night a little muntjac deer in the garden... The evening before a friendly, can they be otherwise? Hedgehog passed by!

There are redkites being chased by swallows protecting their nests...

(A thousand million flies and spiders!) Not bothered!

The 2018 World Cup Football on TV, some good, some more like a wrestling match!!

My wonderful stay with my family starting to feel so long ago already...
