Jane Dougherty posts regular poetry challenges, using different forms – this week it is a rondelet, and the theme is ‘Summer Storm’. A rondelet, if you’re unsure (and I was), is a poem of seven lines, where the first, third and seventh line repeat, the second, fifth and sixth lines rhyme, and the fourth lineContinue reading “Poetry Challenge #45 – Summer Storm”

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”

Summer Daze, Part II
Hello everyone! Summer is flying past and the gorgeous girl is back at school next week, which I cannot believe – where have the days gone? I know I’ve been quiet on the blog front (again) this past week, though I haven’t been completely absent. The lovely Suzie, over at SuzieSpeaks, reblogged one of myContinue reading “Summer Daze, Part II”

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”

Wednesday Wander – Panathenaic Olympic Stadium, Greece
With the Olympics on and Team GB doing so well (yay!), I thought it might be fun this week to wander to Greece, where it all began. Now, this is obviously not a stadium built for the 2004 Athens Olympics – rather, this is the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympics were held inContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Panathenaic Olympic Stadium, Greece”
