Ducking for Apples
Posted on December 7, 2022
Our twin grandsons have probably outgrown the idea of ducking for apples on Halloween, but they used to love it.
November’s Last Photo

The warm glow of the sodium lights gives a caramel tone to this view of the courtyard of a hotel in the centre of Toulouse.
Weathered

About a mile from our placee is a slowly rotting old house, irretrievably derelict. The roof has now collapsed, but most of the window frames are still just about intact.

The wedding car
Posted on November 4, 2022
Back in the summer, I did the ‘official’ photography of the wedding of the daughter of a friend. The bride was driven to the ceremony by her father in this sporty little number.

This is a close look at the buds of a borage plant. It’s a herb with bright blue flowers that – apparently – taste like honey and are occasionally used as garnishes for salads and drinks. The stems and buds have a distinctly bristly appearance, are also edible and – also apparently – have a distinctive cucumber-like flavour. I’ll take their word for it.
