A nice trip up the coast yesterday. Firstly to do some panorama photography for JT at a lovely B&B, than a couple of hours all to myself relaxing on my favourite (secret) beach. Time to think and reflect, with warm sunshine on my face and peace and quiet all around.
Later on, as I was walking the dog, I stopped to pick some ripening nuts from a row of hazel trees over the fields from our place. A goodly harvest, with more to come hopefully, and ripening ready to eat towards the end of the year.
Bren and me were away this weekend at the Pioneer Northern Forum weekend at Swanwick, Derbyshire. A beautiful place, and a good time to catch up with old and new friends.

...our lush beach and secluded cove... ideal for lolling around on the Lilo!
... our hotel pool, early morning with many towels already in place on sunbeds...
... the sunrise each morning in front of our balcony...
...and the moonrise in exactle the same place each evening!
Our house is still for sale. We're trying yet another estate agent to see if that produces anything more positive than the recent incumbents. In November it'll be one year since we put our house on the market. According to media sources... (hem...hem) things are allegedly improving in the housing market... let's hope so eh?
Last week I borrowed three movies from my buddy Jason. During the past couple of days we have watched two of them - 'Volver' and 'Big Fish', both great movies. We were saving the third one to watch during this weekend, but then I read yesterday that Keith Waterhouse had died, so last night I watched the third film I had borrowed - 'Billy Liar' as a kind of little tribute to the great writer.
