“Here it is…”
Well here we all are yet again! After several months of build up the madness of the festive season is finally upon us. Every year we swear we will spend less and consume less but there’s always a big pile of food and drink come the day.
Lest we forget
This years Remembrance Day was marked with a special memorial for those that fell. It featured 19,240 shrouded 12 inch figures arranged in rows on the ground.
Remember, Remember!
Ah! Guy Fawkes Night. We usually give this a miss but this year we took my daughter and granddaughter to the big fireworks display nearby. We had perfect Guy Fawkes Night weather this year, slightly chilly and dry.
Malvern Hills
One of the things you notice when visiting the Malvern show is the hills that loom over the showground. We often wonder about visiting them and seeing what they are like. This Summer we managed to visit them during a quick break at the end of August.
Priddy Folk Festival 2016
Our annual trip to the top of the Mendip’s for what would be our 10th Priddy Folk Festival. It’s a well organized but nicely laid back event, and home to exceptionally good music and tasty cider.
Malvern Show 2016
An early start for the RHS Malvern Spring show. If you’ve never been, it’s a bit like Glastonbury Festival for gardeners but with better toilets.
London gallery trip
An early start in the dark to travel up to London on an school trip to support one of our special needs students. After what seemed to be a very long journey we left the coach onto the busy London streets. Our first port of call was Tate Modern for a very brief one hour visit.
“A-Wassailing”
It’s usually sub-zero cold or raining and muddy when the annual Wassail comes around. Fortunately the day was relatively mild if a little grey and overcast.
Christmas 2015
There was a surprising amount of things going on over this years Christmas. So much so that as well as being downtime from work it also felt like downtime from my camera.
Archaeological walk
One of the lesser known joys of the Priddy Folk festival is the guided archaeological walk. It looks at the local history of the area and comes highly recommended.
