Making way for the new...

This is just up the road from Mum and Dad's - we are expecting this old cafe to be replaced by a huge block of flats that will block the sea view and line the builders' pockets with cash...

Dorset tea

Lovely man!

Beetle

We found this little fella in the new pond. He was having a swim, but we thought he had probably had long enough so we rescued him...

Sailing skills

It was a windy day but Nigel didn't capsize once!

Everest next

Neil on the climbing wall at Croft Farm

Rory and Mario

Campfire night with Rory and Mario doing what they did best!

Duck and Catch

It's a bit out of focus, but still worth putting on!

Hands

Playing games on the first evening at Croft Farm...

Notice

A gift from Paris

One of my pupils brought this lolly back for me, from Disneyland Paris.

Man at work

Catch

Olympic Day 2 and lots of different sports were going on today. This one was a game where teams had to keep the ball in the air and it was yellow bibs turn to run in...

Wrapped up

Karen's birthday and Bramble was helping as usual!

Foliage

Another garden shot...

Time in the garden

This was taken through the window of the clock, reflecting a little bit of the patio

Pretty

Trying to find something to photograph tonight - these were pretty.

Patriotic

Hmmm..!

Hiding

I liked these Highland cows we saw while out on our bikes - all of them are hiding their faces! Obviously shy!

Clematis

This clematis is now thriving after we took all the ivy away that was choking it!

Cruisers

Mum and Dad on the webcam of Oriana!

Bulbs

I saw these on the table - took the picture!

View from the greenhouse

Lack of a spirit level

When this wall was built, I think the builder went wrong and so carried on, making out he meant to build the wall this way! It's very attractive though, just down the road from Christine and Graham's.
