Fabulous light meant an early outing today. Another mannequin or two added to the collection, including this one, who's trying to escape.

I admire anyone who can stick to their principles, but question whether this protester is sticking to theirs by parking their van in the supermarket car-park. It may have been left there as a protest, but more likely (s)he ran…

Early morning serendipity. Too early for the shoppers, too late for the revellers but just right for constructors.

So the bin-men ain't taking it anywhere! Edit to add, it is still there a week later.

Three more for the archive. I feel the end is in sight for the coffee cup project and I should now consider what to do with them.

So non-residents can enjoy the view of the garden, but can't get into the garden. We are becoming a city of gated residences, gardens and parks. Or are these boundaries designed to keep the residents in?

Not normally one for insects, this thing just had to be snapped by virtue of its enormous size. Dragonfly? Damselfly? Edible?

There seems to be a dearth of preserved lemons in the local shops, so DIY measures required in order that we can enjoy the tastes of Morocco. The only problem is that they won't be ready for 6 weeks.

This one's for Twig as he is the only person I know who will appreciate the festive period starting on the 11th August! Somewhat surprising to find the local Garden Centre is already putting out its grotto while I'm still…

An evening of Floridian cuisine - conch fritters and key-lime pie. Struggled with the conch, though, they're not native to the River Severn and no-one seems to import them, but the ersatz conch made with giant gambas and a few…

Over the past ten years, the local antique emporia have gradually been replaced by shops selling shabby chic, but these now seem to be disappearing in favour of places selling "junk pure". In fact, this shop was selling a book…
