Complete memory loss

Some time ago i rescued my Orange, Lemon and Lime tree from my bit of land across the lane from my house. Passing the land today i looked up for no reason at all but i noticed my Plum tree was laden with Plums, happy days.

Sadly this branch broke under the weight of fruit i had to hold the branch up for the picture.

Not a huge tree but i have hope for the coming years for more fruit.

Just a small bunch but my bunches and they won't be wasted.

I moved in 7 years ago this month

Seven years ago i moved into my house and at the time at the top of the lane a house was being built. The owner is a German lady called Madeline and we have over the years become good friends. But this is about my Mums 93 birthday where i took some pictures of Mum blowing out her candles.

When i returned back home i met Madeline where she asked for a picture of my Mum so she could do a portrait picture of Mum.

Once when i put the picture on the wall i will change this picture.
I am going to put the picture in my TV room close to me.

Glad i drive here

Driving has been a big part of my life since i passed my test 50 years ago. Going from the days when there was room on the roads to drive without fear of something happening.

Ok this may be extreme but thankfully nothing like this happens here in Portugal. Portugal where you can safely drive to your destination at a comfortably speed. Driving in the UK is not for me now the pleasure has gone from driving there.

Doesn't that child ever play

About 40 years ago i would take my first daughter round to see my Mum and Dad. One day my Dad said " doesn't that child ever play " my reply was yes all of the time. My Dad explained that every time he saw Sarah she was always clean. I have looked back so many times over the years and i could understand just what my Dad had said and why.

Now forward 40 years today i received some pictures of my new granddaughter Bronx.

I know i can post pictures of my Little granddaughter on my Blog but today i felt i had to ask. Reason you can't see but she does have a nappy on but that's not how the picture looks. That's the reason i asked before i posted the picture. What a happy little girl but thinking back i don't remember Sarah looking like this covered in breakfast and looking happy.

The hot weather was hot But

The how weather was hot and uncomfortable But there is always an answer. I could have switched on the aircon but i didn't because i had lots to do. I have a nice cool workshop under my house where i work now on table lamps.
I now have a good selection of Walnut and Chestnut and i am going to be making Unique mirrors.

These are the last that needs to be got ready for finishing with varnish and then ready for sale.












If you look at the one on the left you will see it's made out of strips of wood glued together for a totally unique look.

Unknown Region 174

Most days i have a look to see how many people have viewed my Blog and where they are looking from. Over a third of the countries on the planet at some time have read my Blog but today. A new country has arrived i haven't checked the news yet but i can see they are using Firefox for the browser. Also they are using Linux as there operating system both just like me.

If this is not a new country could it be that the hidden place refereed to in the media as the Dark Net could this be the answer?

I Have moaned before about ingredients

It's been a while since i commented about the ingredients on the label of a sandwich on a British Airways flight.

Today  with temperature at a possible all time high i had 2 bottles of ices tea with me at the market i went to. I started to read the label on the back of the ices tea because the iced tea was not as good as i normally have. These ices teas where Peach flavour but there was little flavour. First was Aqua, Water and that was no surprise and then from concentrate Peach flavor 0.25% a quarter of 1% no wonder it was weak. Then i came to the tea flavour 0.14% the tea flavour was just so weak it had no flavour.

This is one brand i won't have this again.
