Air Show
RAF Benson had an air show for family day yesterday. The low-level Tornado wasn't quite as loud as it was in 2011 but still ear-ringingly close. However, it was the Chinoock that stole the show. Awesome!
Last-but-one commute
For the past two (and a bit) years, 3 days (sometimes 5) each week, my commute to work has been by bike.
This week is the last. So I've been making the most of it by going off-road along a bridleway that follows the route of an old Roman road between Dorchester and Alchester.
I'm going to miss it.
Beach Life
Ace BBQ by Martin. Perfect way to end the hotest day of the year (until the next 'hotest day of the year').
Canoe Surfing
D and F (F floating behind) demonstrating the correct use of a body board when the sea is dead calm.
At south beach, Studland.
Warmer than when we were last here .
Bird in a nest
Some serious pruning nearly caused a disaster — but the little pigeon's nest was quickly re-sited. Watch this space for updates. In the meantime, here's the post-pruned front garden.
The end of the tree
The tree was very unhappy. Brown, dry, dropping needles. So it went. To be replaced by something more Birch-like. The surgeon left us some memories, each engraved with an initial.
H Cooks
After some lessons at school (Pizza-toast anyone?) H gets in some serious practice for Master Chef . First lesson: you need to turn the hob on.
