7 December 2011



It's the needing and the sharing that makes the meal complete - We're off to France tomorrow for a few days. One of the best things about France is the bread, just about anywhere you go you can buy fantastic bread. It's not the same in England, over here it's very hard (but not impossible) to find decent bread, this was the best I could find today in Ramsgate and I had to go to Waitrose to find that.

Get out of town, get out of town - The harbour and jetty at Broadstairs from Viking Bay.

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold - Stairs up the side of a gasometer in Deal, Kent.

All he ever needs is love and that he knows he'll get - Lin and I went with a friend, Chrissy to the Bull Terrier Welfare Trust's Christmas fund raiser or as it's better known the Bulllie Rescue Christmas Party in Milford, Surrey. Neither of us had ever seen so many bull terriers in one place before. It was a great day out and hopefully they raised a lot of money, but as you can see it was a bit too much for some of the dogs. You can read more about the Bull Terrier Welfare Trust on their own website by clicking here and see some more photos here.

It ain't no big thing (but it's growing) - Most of the vegetables that we grow on our allotment are reasonably successful, but we do have a bit of a problem with garlic. It's not that we can't grow it, it just doesn't grow very big. We've tried garlic from the garden centre and garlic from the greengrocer, but it's always the same. This year we've found some large cloves from a farm shop so hopefully this will give us a good result.

Bad skin, bad eyes, gay and fatty - Lin and I drove to Bexhill-On-Sea this afternoon to see the Warhol Is Here exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion. Here you can see the rear of the pavilion bathed in the glorious late afternoon sunshine that we enjoyed before going into the show.

And wishing on the stars up above - Driving home through Margate a couple of hours ago in the pouring rain I couldn't resist stopping and photographing the lights reflected in the seafront puddles.
