Can't have a wheelchair without putting a pound in the slot. Taking someone to hospital for an appointment is now something of an agility test. You can pull up outside but then the clock starts ticking - find wheelchair park,…

An outing with Wilcey with the aim of getting a nice pic of the font. But we could have done without the coach-load of teenagers, who thought it was most amusing to flick the water and each other. We've decided…

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Over the past ten years, the local antique emporia have gradually been replaced by shops selling shabby chic, but these now seem to be disappearing in favour of places selling "junk pure".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

When were kids, we used to play in and on sheds covered with a funny white roofing. Some years later, we realise that the white stuff was asbestos. After many complicated logistical negotiations with the authorities, Nick and Wilcey packaged…

I think they're called re-cycling centres, but whatever they are, they're usually good for the odd snap. I always feel very virtuous after a tip run!

MisterMac has always fancied going on a storm-chasing trip (although I suspect he's actually more of an armchair storm chasing enthusiast). I, on the other hand, have never fancied it and as the skies suddenly turned black at 3.00 this…

We're getting good at planning these family barbecues for rainy days! From L to R: Izzy's funky toenail design as part of her new look, Messrs Mac and Barrett valiantly trying to cook burgers and sausages on barbecues sizzling with…

Rather a busy day, so only time for a grab shot of something orange poking through the fence. I did think about not publishing a pic today, but that would be the first time in more than four years and…

I have Lizzie to thank for the inspiration behind this. I think I've mentioned before my contemplation of a supermarket set of pix . I would like to do the contents of people's trolleys, but people don't like you snapping…

I love chinese food, but am singularly unimpressed by the rear-view of the local takeaway. Not sure I'll be dealing here.

I think my little car needs replacing, so looking around for a new one. The reflection inset shows the one on offer at the local garage, but I don't really like it. I'm going to try and get my old…
