  • Bozzam

    To celebrate Dad’s birthday, Hels and I went with my parents for a stroll around Bosham on Wednesday. I got a bit artistic with the reflections in the water at the quay…

    …and then we saw a fantastic sunset.

  • Blood on the floor

    Treacle asleep. Uncomfortable too, I suspect.
    Treacle sleeps in some pretty odd places.
    I’ve just spent 20 minutes cleaning up blood on the floor and the sofa. She’s had a fight with another cat and didn’t win – a tear in her left ear was dripping blood everywhere. I’ve cleaned up the blood and the wound, but she might end up with a "bus ticket" ear.

    Meilland Roses launched their new "Moulin Rouge" variety at last week’s Hortifair in Amsterdam. This scene would have been even funnier if there had been torsoes sticking out of the other side of the wall. Unfortunately, there weren’t.

  • Little fluffy clouds

  • Tide’s out

    We particularly liked what the clouds were doing that day.

  • Dedicated followers of good coffee

    Damien Hirst's bar in Ilfracombe
    See us? We’re so trendy that when we stop for coffee and croissants in Ilfracombe, the only place that we’re seen in is 11 The Quay, Damien Hirst’s uber-fashionable bar and restaurant by the harbour. Daaaahrlings!

    Actually, truth be told, we were getting rather windswept and damp on the quay and fancied somewhere warm to shelter for a bit, and this place looked rather inviting. But we liked the decor and the coffee was great. And very reasonably priced too.

  • Enormous balls

    Eden Project
    The domes of the Eden Project rise out of the American Prairie and merge into the grey sky. Or something.
    We were really impressed by the Eden Project – it was a full day out for us, with Hels managing to keep energy levels going through the whole day in spite of quite a lot of walking up and down the sides of the quarry in which the whole thing sits. It is much more than a garden – it is an entertaining and educational attraction with a definite "wow" factor.

  • Holiday snaps

    Expect to see a few photos over the next few days from our holiday in Devon.

  • Taking a Leek

    I guess if your name is W.C. Leek, then the toilet hire business is for you. (Spotted in Amsterdam, April 2005).

  • The IIII

    When we visited Amsterdam in April, we passed the front door of this organisation:
    The IIII
    Any idea what they do? It has to be a made-up name.
