Starting from number eleven there are five new photographs on the Photo Page
A few photos taken since our return from Denbury – I was surprised to get the camera back from Finn, but there’s an idea for his Christmas pressie!!
The first two photos are of a massive transporter ship at the Royal Portbury Dock – so huge I could barely get it into one frame!!
The next photos were taken last week – the clouds were looking very strange, almost as though they were concealing an “alien invasion”!! They really did look strange!
Next, this morning, as the sun was rising, there was a break in the clouds which revealed the sun’s rays beautifully.
And finally, this afternoon I was in the centre of Bristol and thought Brandon Hill and Cabot Tower was looking especially nice in the sunshine, so I took some pics!
Cabot Tower was built in 1897 in recognition of John Cabot sailing in The Matthew from Bristol in 1497, landing in what we know as Canada. There is a working replica of the Matthew in Bristol and when I get a chance I’ll take some photos of that too! Julia.
I am not best pleased with Tass, Kye or Thornton. I have needed to do some concreting today with one of my Lads helping me. All finished and looking good. I don’t really need to tell what happened you have probably guessed that Tass and Kye had trod in the drying concrete. I say trod, I reckon by the look of it that they had danced in it. Best part was that there really wasn’t any reason for them to be in the area. It must have taken me a good half an hour with a lots of cussing to get it looking as it had when we first finished the job. When we went out to feed the Horses there was Thornton standing in the concrete on his two rears legs reaching to feed from ivy that was growing on the wall. It looked as if he had been walking around in the cement. It can stay like it is now.
A third thing was sure to happen. On my way back from feeding the Badgers I have to walk past the orchard, as I passed a overhanging tree an apple fell onto my head. Some years back we had some friends staying. It must have been about this time of year as there were windfall apples on the ground. I picked up a few to throw to my cows that were in the field next to the orchard. The cows were a good distance from where I was throwing the apples so I needed to throw quite hard. As I threw one it left my hand before I intended it to and it hit one of our friends in her face so hard that it knocked her to ground, all but knocking her out. She wasn’t best pleased with me with half of her faced bruised. They never did come back to visit us again..
