Was a bit under the weather last week so having a treat at #HotelChocolat

Autumn’s arrived and so has the time for comfort food 🍂
Homemade broccoli & cheddar soup made with my own garden-grown Tromboncino courgette. Creamy, cosy, and straight from the garden to the bowl. Even young Tom enjoyed it.
Who else is making soup season official?

It looks like autumn outside, the calendar says it is but the thermometer isn’t so sure, even the rain feels like a summer shower. I’m not complaining :) Happy #RoseWednesday everyone.

This year has been good for the Michaelmas daisies we have many more flowers than previous years. They have put on a good show today for #Michaelmas

A beautiful September day so ideal for a pub lunch then a walk through the countryside. Happy Tuesday everyone #EastYorkshire #Publunch

The garden has been hit or miss this season, but the roses are absolutely thriving. 🌹 #RoseWednesday #Roses #Garden #Bloom #GardenLife

Waking up to this view is a great start to the day. The lake also contains the most perfect roach I have seen, beautiful colours, the crystal clear water is full of natural food. Our short break ends soon but we will return. #EastYorkshire #lakeview

Having a few days break in #EastYorkshire , a walk in the fields gave me this photo for #FungiFriday

Best thing about EVs is having an excuse to stop at #McDonalds , charging these days is far too quick though! So I had to move it before my coffee cooled to a drinkable temperature.

After a visit to the cinema to fulfill a promise to young Tom to see the latest Minions film in the school holidays, we emerged into bright sunshine and later had a short walk to admire the golden fields and blue sky. I love summer. 🌾☀️

A new addition to the garden this year and one for #RoseWednesday #Rose #Bathsheba

The Scrap Box won 2026 Takeaway of the Year at the National Fish and Chip Awards. They were very tasty with nice crisp batter, I did have some from the front at Filey that I thought a tiny bit better but I think the sea air probably gave them an advantage.

Fish & chips as a special treat as one of the junior members of the family has finished school for the summer. Time to get into holiday mode :) #fishandchips #Summer2026

What a beautiful start to the day. Happy Sunday everyone. #Poppies #NorthYorkshire

Bought myself an Airfix model of the SR.N4 hovercraft that used to cross the channel. Back in 1975 I came back from a school trip to France in one, far more exciting than the Eurotunnel. I took a couple of photos using my mum’s Kodak Instamatic with 126 film, they are fading a bit after 50 years. I intend building the kit if I ever have the free time. #Airfix #Hovercraft

Got back from a trip out with my daughter to buy some tropical fish and noticed my odometer is all 1s. I do like things neat and tidy so am reluctant to go out and mess these numbers up. Just look at the temperature as well, what a beautiful day it is. Interesting what Google brought up for 11111 , time will tell if it is correct :)

Yesterday evening we walked through the fields to a visiting circus, after an amazing show we walked back to be met by a heavy rain shower, our son was convinced there would be a rainbow when the shower ended and there was. #rainbow

A little warmer today so a walk was called for. Lots of Horse chestnut flowers perhaps it will be a bumper year for Conkers. The village is one tree down this year as a fine 100+ year example had to be felled. Happy Tuesday everyone. #horsechestnut
