Monkey's Blog - with a little help from Alice

Summertime and a Winter warning 

The trouble with delayed shutter release is that Alice couldn't see exactly how I was positioned. Winter is Coming is good and clear though.  [Click the images.]





 Why this particular hoodie? Oh dear. Alice is such a fan of Game of Thrones that when she saw the lurid garment in a local shop (not HBO!) she just had to buy it. Tastes do differ, sometimes considerably so.

This is a somewhat better position for me, I think. On the subject of Winter in Westeros, see this article and another one here too.

Yesterday we experienced our first really summery day this year, with blossoms on the trees everywhere.

We were on the green green Meadows, where folk were enjoying the sunshine, eating sandwiches, using their smart phones (they just can't leave them alone, it seems) reading, playing ball games and all that usual human outdoor activity.

So we had a picnic on the grass.

Oh, those little Pepperami are so scrumptious! And yoghurt coated raisins are simply to die for!

Like that other Alice, we were considering whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies.

But sadly no White Rabbit passed us by.

So I had some more crisps, and a drink of Peach, Camomile & Green Tea (it's really most refreshing) before we admired the blossoms once more.

Then we sinfully went to the cinema (on a sunny day!) to see The Salvation.  Wow!

We're off on our little jaunt to Yorkshire soon. Watch this space. . . .
