Mars Landing

This photo shows a place where no human eye has ever set foot.

To be honest, they're not missing much, are they?

More Garden Photos

Yes, it's time for some more photos from my garden.
The interesting thing about these photos is that they are almost exactly like the ones I put up last year.

So here we go ...


The damsel fly. A regular visitor.

They come every year but only for a few days.

And this is what they get up to.


These are pretty.







Forget-me-nots. A bit blurry. Sorry.

Lunaria

Lunaria Annua. Common name: Honesty.
Called Lunaria because the seed heads turn into white, papery discs that look like the moon. These are the discs while they are green and non-papery.

Chepstow Castle

I've been to Chepstow Castle and I'd like to announce it to the world.
It's very impressive. The oldest castle in Britain apparently. The Normans started building it in 1067, the year after the invasion of England. They hadn't got round to invading Wales then and the castle was to defend against the Welsh.

I didn't realise that it was so big; it goes on for miles. Like many old castles, it hasn't got a roof or any glass in the windows. Or any rooms. People didn't need such fripperies then; they were a tougher bunch altogether.

I did enjoy this excursion. I'm planning to go somewhere else later this year, so stay tuned for another exciting instalment.

From the attic

Views from my roof. Sorry they're a bit slopey; I've got that sort of roof.
