Back home

Standard
Wednesday 3rd August 

We're safely back home
A long and foggy drive
Just finished unloading
My brother did arrive
Flown over from Chicago
Togetherness we strive
Our mum's big birthday
On August number Five

Love you both so much

Beside the River Frome
For an afternoon stroll
Along the Redcliffe Towpath

A little cloudy today
Motorboats and yachts along the river
Misty on the hills towards Swanage
The Old Granary
The Redcliffe Towpath
The towpath dates back to the 13th century
Grounds of the Priory
Bridge over the River Frome
Wareham flowers
A pretty display

Down to the river

Monday 1st August 

Again, we walk down to the river
The pavement throwing off a warm glow
People come to sit, eat and drink
Ducks and swans paddling to and fro

Love you both so much
Beloved sons

Two adult swans with seven cygnets
A lovely family gathering
A fabulous AC Cobra drove in and parked right behind us
Serious automobile envy!!
The sun going down
Low tide

Whoops!

Sunday 31st July 

A walk around the Blue Pool
Then the Cake House after that
Cheesecake and iced coffee
Whoops! I'll be getting fat!

Love you both so much

The Blue Pool, Wareham, Dorset
A warm and humid walk around the lake
We stopped for coffee and cake
Looking through the trees
Gary pushed his mum all the way around
A 1km loop, across bumpy terrain
A peaceful vista
Then onto the Cake House, at East Creech Farm
Where I had to try the Baileys Cheesecake 😘

Smooth out that frown

Standard
Saturday 30th July 

Having dinner
By the river

Warm sunset skies
Eating French fries

Smooth red merlot
A balmy glow

At the day's end
Can recommend

Time to slow down
Smooth out that frown

Love you both so much
Beloved sons

Sunset glow
Evening libations
Peaceful and calm
A busy Wareham Quay
Jolly boating weather
So many ducks!
Still so warm
Let’s have another!

A sunny afternoon
Pretty plants and grasses
Looking towards the lake
Perfect blue skies
The view with ice creams
Memorial Garden
Gorgeous colours
Geese grazing on the grass
Well tended gardens
Boating Lake
Colourful canoes
Sailing dinghies

Dorset

Driving up to Dorset
For a few days away

Parched fields across Dorset

Just trying

Just trying
To keep smiling

Shake off stress
Worry less

Having patience
Don't be complacent

Work through pain
Feel whole again

Complicated

Life can be complicated
But I will try to be content
So that when I do look back
I can see a life well spent

The heart

Standard
Monday 25th July 

The heart
Never forgets
The mind
Has no regrets
And time
Pays its debts

Passing clouds
Have silhouettes
Even though
Dark as it gets
Our love finds
Many outlets

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Cloudy and grey over the town this morning
Drizzle is on its way!
