Coronation weekend #ramble
It’s Sunday morning and so, as usual, I’ll share my thoughts with you. Here in the UK, it is Coronation weekend as the King is crowned. The event yesterday had all the pageantry as usual. Some aspects included strange traditions and although it was sort of multi-faith, the Church of England ensured that the King…

Sunday thoughts and ideas. #ramble
It is Sunday morning and so, as always, I’ll share my thoughts with you. It is a typical showery day, but it is getting warmer, giving us lower energy bills. I haven’t been doing much photography; during lockdown, I photographed all sorts of things I saw around my home and garden. Pictures can be interesting…

Happy St George’s Day #ramble
Happy St George’s Day! Today’s picture is from 2015, when I went to photograph the St George’s Day parade in West Bromwich. I did that for a few years, and I was always cold and had poor light for the pictures. One year Martin Parr took photos too, but I didn’t see him. I did…

Keeping busy #ramble
It is just two weeks to the King’s coronation, so if you’re not in the UK, please come and visit; we need the money. We have spring weather, sunshine and showers. I went out yesterday, and it was pretty warm in the car. Perhaps I shouldn’t have worn a winter coat! Anyway, there will be…

Easter ideas. #ramble
It’s Easter Sunday! The temperature here is still only 6 C, but the forecast says it will go as high as 14 C this afternoon. I need to go out for the sake of my sanity! I might wander around somewhere and take some pictures. If you’re a blogger, and I know many of my…

Make things last! #ramble
I’m well past my three score years and ten now. So what advice would I give my younger self if I could? I found out later in life that I have autoimmune problems so I could give myself some health advice. I was very into technology when I was young, and I would advise myself…

Spring has sprung! #ramble
I haven’t been writing much lately or taking photographs. Spring appears to be here and so I might be a little more active now. The UK is still recovering from a few systemic shocks. I don’t think we were fully recovered from the 2008 financial crisis and all the austerity that followed when Boris launched…

Anyway… #ramble
When I moved this blog to WordPress I had a clear plan to write about photography on Tuesday, finance on Friday and do a rambling post on Sunday. It is over a week since I posted anything, so despite not being one of my designated days, I decided to do a post. I run the…

Thrifty & Frugal. #ramble
It’s Sunday morning, and so, as always, I’ll share my thoughts with you. Today, I have decided to write this post using Word, and I’ll copy and paste it! I also have Grammarly connected to Word, which will make it easier. This week was a bit strange with uncertainty in the stock markets following the…

Positive and lateral thinking. #ramble
It’s Sunday morning and so as always I’ll ramble and share my thoughts with you. As I write this, the alarm on my smart meter is sounding to tell me I’m using more gas and electricity than usual. The temperature outside is only 3C and I have just heard my boiler fire up. I like…
