Is is Wednesday already? How this month has flown! I thought I’d be back on here a bit sooner than this, but the last few days of summer holidays are here and so I’ve been out and about, soaking up the minutes with my gorgeous girl before she goes back to school this Friday. However,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Fishing Village near Taghazout, Morocco”

Thursday Doors – The Bishop’s Door, St Albans Cathedral
A little while ago I posted about a set of doors at St Albans Cathedral, which someone commented ‘were probably the oldest’ set of doors to appear in the Thursday Doors Challenge. Now, I know I have an advantage, as I live in a country where buildings can be a thousand years old. However, thisContinue reading “Thursday Doors – The Bishop’s Door, St Albans Cathedral”
Wednesday Wander – Arthur’s Seat, Australia
Urf, it’s another hot night in the UK. Thunderstorms are on their way and I for one cannot wait. There’s nothing like the refreshing change, the ozone in the air, the fury of the elements – at least while I’m indoors ;-). When the weather is humid like this it reminds me of Australia, ofContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Arthur’s Seat, Australia”

Thursday Doors – St Pancras New Church, London
This is a side door to the St Pancras New Church, London. The banner in front is an art installation there at the time I took the photo, but I don’t think it detracts from the rather splendid red doors. The church itself was built in 1819 in the Greek Revival style, and was calledContinue reading “Thursday Doors – St Pancras New Church, London”
