Light up my life.

Well, since the unfortunate demise of Harry, the consensus of opinion is that we need a new dog. Off we went to Manchester Dog's Home! Sadly we didn't find a new pup there so had a chat with a guy who rehomes retired racing greyhounds.

Soooo... This is Tufty!













Her racing name was Lightupmylife.

Cherry blossom.
















Bellis daisies.

See you at the bridge...

Some pictures of Harry, a sweet old lad, who died yesterday.



























This was his last walk in the park, a few days before.

Nighthawks. Sort of.

Can you spot the person dressed in blue at the foot of the cliff?















Hawthorn tree, blasted out of the ground and smashed by the wind.














Sheep quietly grazing. I quite liked the composition of this picture.

Edinburgh Trip

I wonder what you'd expect from someone who took a trip to Edinburgh - arguably one of Europe's most attractive cities? Pictures of churches, castles and craggy parks? Drunks, junkie prostitutes and beggars? (Ah, dear old Scotland, the self-harming emo-nation of Europe!). Well forget it.

In the park.

Nice old sundial, spoiled by the stupid tv cable draped across it - I could have shopped it out, but I prefer to see 'real' pictures.













Autumn leaves on a cobble star.






















Mysterious green doors. Probably the door on the left was a stable and above it was the feed store. I imagine they would have had a hoist to take grain and hay up there at one time. It is part of a very old building originally built around 1650, but I think this part of the building is much later, a Georgian addition.
