From where I was standing these looked like two giant cotton reels.

I wonder what their threads were used to stitch together?

Recycling Rainwater

Recycling rainwater container…

…just a fancy name for a giant water butt!

Cardboard Boxes!

Walking round the perimeter of our local shopping mall, I was struck by the sight of all these cardboard boxes.

I wonder how many boxes there are in each of those blocks?

Altar Detail

Still in Sheffield Cathedral, I was attracted to an unusual altar covering in the Crypt Chapel.

This is a small detail taken from it.

Steel Nativity

Sheffield Cathedral commissioned the artist, Brian Fell, to create a nativity scene from sheet steel.

This is the result – I really like it.

Looking up…

Lime Mint in the Sunshine

I couldn’t resist taking this picture of the lime mint in the early evening sunshine.

The colours are just so beautiful, and it smells good too!

I’ve been busy cutting back the ivy that’s growing all over the garden wall.

They just don’t make these green bins big enough!

New Boots

Today I have been trying out my new walking boots.

They are so comfortable!
