This year I was fortunate enough to get tickets to Wimbledon on Men’s final day, and my dream was to see Andy Murray win. From the moment I arrived at Centre Court I was locked in the moment I took these two shots with my iPhone, the first capturing Andy in ‘flight’ after serving andContinue reading “Moments-capturing motion”

Natural World-Leading Lines
Absolutely love this as purple flowers have broken through, ready to burst into a cacophony of bloom within the next few days. Nature is a wonderful thing, as every year we see plants come to life, propagate and fill the garden with colour and form. I have had these bulbs for two years and thisContinue reading “Natural World-Leading Lines”
Scale
This sphere turns if pushed and I absolutely love the seagull sitting atop. The shadows around the perimeter and the the individual to the right show how large it is.
Mystery…..
This painting was done by my youngest son, Joe, recently, and I love it! There is an air of mystery shown by the tattooed model. Is she wondering when she will get home, what she has planned for tomorrow or her evening meal?
Warmth….
With the sun streaming in from the side, and the cherries glinting like rubies this upside down cake provides warmth in more ways than one. Just fresh from the oven and turned out in a plate! Delicious 💕
Architecture….
What better way to showcase architecture than this monochrome beauty. The downside is you can’t see the blue azure sky, although it can be seen that the sky is cloudless. ☀️
A Pop of Colour
A thistle, the flower of Scotland. To many this is a weed and not a thing of beauty, but as a Scot this always brightens my mood when I see the swathe of purple spikes, reminiscent of a punk hairdo!
Treasure…..
I have many things in my life that I treasure; my family, friends. I am grateful for my home, car and job. There have been times where we have faced circumstances that have been difficult, but we have dealt with them and, fortunately, came through the other side. My garden has given me pleasure andContinue reading “Treasure…..”
#Solitude…..
The Some may think of solitude as being alone or lonely, I rather think of it as a place of peace, a haven. Or a wilderness to enjoy and reflect. You can be in a room full of people and still feel alone, or you can be alone but not feel lonely as you areContinue reading “#Solitude…..”
Connect
When I started going out with Kevin, I was asked if I liked cricket, and up until that point I had no interest in it. Needless to say that changed and I recently visited Lord’s for afternoon tea and a tour of the museum. I would highly recommend it as it is superb. The photoContinue reading “Connect”
Bliss…..
What is bliss to me? It is time spent with family and friends, home or further afield. Memories made and shared are always there to recount when, perhaps, life is less kind, or you are just having a bad day. Bliss should wrap around you and continue to bring hope that good things happen! #develpoingyoureyeContinue reading “Bliss…..”
Water…….
Water is an extraordinary element. It can provide tranquility and relax you when stressed. The gentle tinkle of a garden water feature, or the strains of waves lapping the shore – magical. The flip side is, in certain conditions, any body of water can be so brutal, causing loss of life, livelihood or home. WeContinue reading “Water…….”
Street view
Rome and kilts , what an incongruous juxtaposition. But kilts and togas are perhaps not so far removed! Wonderful sunny day too with a vibrant atmosphere #developingyoureye
So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, adieu……..
Today sees the end of the academic year, with still so much to do over the coming weeks in preparation for another. My desk was covered in piles of work, with staff to interview, July payroll to be checked, negotiating leases and a myriad of other things to do. We had twelve staff either retiring,Continue reading “So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, adieu……..”
