Last on the card: Golden leaves
Posted on November 1, 2025
Autumn colours are everywhere at the moment, but this tree in a shop’s car park was a particularly fine specimen, especially in the sunshine.
Last On the card: Maybe…

Spotted in Lidl during their Foire Aux Vins: ‘tomorrow I’ll stop…perhaps’.
(The label also states: ‘wine naturally low in alcohol’. Obviously, I didn’t buy it.)
Last On The Card: The Fallen Leaf
Posted on September 2, 2025
After a period of strong wind and heavy rain, this oak leaf ended up on top of the wall of one of our raised beds.

This is Poppy, my niece’s chocolate brown Labrador puppy. Daft as a brush, obviously, but here she had found a (relatively) quiet corner during a frenetic children’s birthday party. I was already there….

These white pansies have just returned for another season in one of our flowerbeds (yes it does need weeding).

I spotted these past-their-sell-by-date roses in the main (i.e. only) square of our nearest village.
Last Photo: Whittling

Last week, I was what I think of euphemistically as ‘helping’ Madame to reorganise the little crafts corner of the charity shop where she is a volunteer.
I know nothing of crafts and am not ashamed to admit it. However, on the basis that my first job after I graduated was in the Liverpool City Libraries service (a stint that lasted all of six months and ended well over fifty years ago), I was clearly and eminently qualified to organise several large piles of books into some semblance of logical order.
Most of these volumes related to art, needlework, knitting and so on, but there were a few dealing with more esoteric crafts, including this particular one.
No disrespect to all you merry whittlers out there, but I have to confess that I did post this image on our family Whatsapp group without comment but with the caption ‘Shoot. Me. Now.‘
Last Photo November 2024
Posted on December 3, 2024
The last photo I took in November was this defiant geranium, gamely hanging on in one of our raised beds.
The blooms are low-hanging, but these creaking bones couldn’t face the prospect of having to kneel on the path to get the shot – I might not be able to get up again – so I used the front camera on my iPhone. I think it turned out okay.
(No editing of course, because them’s the rules.)
Just Another Broken Heart…

Well, a fallen rose petal anyway.
