Too hot to walk but I do

High Street

Meaningless birdy road name (unless it's meant as the corruption of cuckold?)

The old pier head

Not so medieval city

This is the modern city where there is anger and frustration and love and hate.

My new toy - Yamaha FZ6

600cc, 16 -valve, water-cooled 4-stroke. Basically a rocket on 2 wheels! Tell me I'm bonkers...

Pictures fill the screen

I guess you've all realised I upload these pictures in large format? If you want to see some detail click on the images and they should fill the screen...

Walk the walk

These are more of the medieval sights taken in on my lunchtime perambulation. Next up will be some views that prove I don't live in a time capsule!

Sandwich time

I walk through this stone wall and perch on one of these benches to nibble my picnic lunch every day - rain or shine.

1980s executive toy

'Smartie'

There is now no time for me to do anything! The house has become a giant playground for this miniature tiger.

Pier rot

Walking the City Walls

Dans le jardin

Warm heavy rain, balmy evenings, fast-growing grass, birdsong like an aviary and bats swooping for insects. June in the UK is nice.

Sadie

Sadie was my wife's tortoise, pictured here with me 30 years ago!
