A trip to Marwood Hill Gardens was on the agenda a few days ago, when we got there we were greeted by an Owl called Sage, she was collecting for the MacMillan cancer support, check out her website www.twinmoorview.com to find out more about this stunning bird.What a beautiful and well behaved Owl and a very informative and friendly owner.

Another Camera Experience Day with Michael Palmer.
Old suitcases
Sorry I haven't added any new post's for a while I think I must have been abducted by Aliens! I have been very very busy but somehow last week seems like yesterday, is it just me or do you get that sometimes?Anyway enough of the excuses I will attempt to do better this week. The week after I am going to blog a stunning photograph every day for seven days, well thats the plan anyway.
For sale a large amount of vintage watering cans!
It's nearly the weekend lets eat cake.
More from Petersham nurseries.
Goodbye Winchester hello London!
I've mentioned this before but my youngest son and his girlfriend now have no ties with Winchester and are well and truly based in London, so off we went on Sunday to explore all things new.You know you are in London when there is everything going on on a Sunday, including loads of noise! You can almost touch the underneath of one of these at least every 45 seconds.
The camera's new home
My old camera has arrived at a very lovely place called Odle Farm near Honiton in Devon Erin who is 12 was taken along by her Mum on a "Photography on 2 wheels" course, (book both for a nice relaxing week away). You know how it goes, you take your children along with you to keep you company on something you fancy having a go at, and they end up being far better at the task in hand than you! But that is how it's supposed to go right? My sons definitely know and have done far more than I probably ever will, so I've done my job as a Mum.
Are you a hoarder?
I'm not a hoarder, if I don't use something off it goes. Sometimes this has been a big mistake, but in this case I don't think it is.My lovely little old camera that had served me well for years has gone on a journey, I loved the feel of it, have to confess I missed it when my new complicated camera arrived, but I decided that when the time was right I would give it up, not much use just sitting in a drawer.
Winchester Twilight photography evening with Michael Palmer.
Yesterday I told you that Mr B would be going on a Michael Palmer Twilight photography evening, it was by all accounts a fun evening where you learnt quite a lot of new things.Here are a few of the photographs that were taken last night, some just looking around Winchester seeing what you liked the look of, others learning to take pictures in the dark and play with light. Plenty of new tricks and ideas to come home with and improve on in future picture taking.
Vintage everything and don't forget to look back!
The Packhouse and Look Up!
I confess to having been a few times before to The Packhouse in Surrey, this time I took a friend who hadn't visited before, she loved it and even bought some things for her new house that is just in her imagination at the moment! (Love it) I'm going to start that, I shall imagine a huge barn miles from anywhere, not sure where I will store stuff though, I have delusions of grandeur so if any of you have a store house I may be after some rental space!Now I'm sorry about this but in all the excitement I forgot to take many pictures, but the web site will give you a good idea of the treat in store.
Do you remember where?
What more could you want?
A still and fairly warm evening, some roses, mexican orange blossom, honeysuckle and a cat called treacle. What more could you want? Just wish I could make your screen scratch and sniff, the smells in my garden tonight are heavenly.Must mention Mr B was inside making me a Brandy coffee, ahhh my evening is complete.
Two bits of nice.
In the last five days.
A catch up weekend.
This weekend has been a catch up weekend, which is good as the weather is STILL pretty lousy.We have emptied the loft of my Son's stored belongings as he and his girlfriend move from Winchester to London next weekend. Because we don't have to help move them (horrrrraaaaahhhhhhhh!) we washed all linens and clothes and ironed them. We are good like that, but in reality it is just our way of helping, which as I've mentioned is infinitely better than driving a lorry to the centre of London.
