The Olympic Stadium

This appears to be the main venue - as far as I can see from the train on my weekly visit to my grandchildren.

This is the swimming pool - amazingly they have put up the roof before the walls or anything else!

Up bright and early today to go to theBig Scrapbook and Stamp Show. Been looking forward to it for ages. Wait a moment, where is everyone?

It was lovely, no queue for the ladies, and no one in the Palm Court.

Just a shame there were no stalls either!
I don't know what made me think it started today!

The new kitchen window.

First of all,cover everything with dust sheets, the remove the old window.

The nicest workman ever! He is Lithuanian

Job done

and finished off with new curtains - the design is called Alyssa. What else could I choose!

Leigh on Sea.

A day out with the girls is not something I do often. It was supposed to be a baby shower - but really we just had a lovely meal and a good laugh! Not forgetting the lovely cake for afternoon tea before we got the train home.

This is the part of the view from the restaurant. The water in the distance is the River Thames.

We had a (very) short stroll after lunch. Sorry you're not in this photo, Heather . You must have taken it. Thats why its such a nice one.

As we left, the weather was picking up.I once heard an art gallery guide say that Constable often had a little touch of red in his paintings. It works for photos as well.

Apple blossom and geraniums

Out of the whole of Heather's garden I think this might be my favourite branch! I love that lichen - and now the branch has these buds on it.
Heather, you asked me recently if a certain flower was a geranium . At last I found a photo of one from your balcony at Archway. Do you remember those tiles!

Joel is 2 yrs old

The first cake was at Grandma and Grandpa's house with a blue cake. NO pink I was told!

The second one was at his toddler club. Just after this they took his cake away to cut up for all the children and he looked so surprised and puzzled. However I can only put 4 photos up at a time - anyone know a way round this?

Here he is being a real 2 year old, making a muddy cup of tea. That red duvet cover is perfect for photographs. It was so nice to see the washing out - and do you see the deckchairs out as well. I was beginning to feel I'd never sit in the garden again!
