Gretel le Maître 🐘

An illuminated Winchester Cathedral one year ago.

This day two years ago, I was walking through Hyde Park… 😊

Did you write it?

I like it!

Hello Tom, that’s fascinating. I do have all his books but I haven’t stored away that piece of information. I think you’d get away with it if you spoke with a local accent. There’s a pub in Trent I go to and they all speak with a Dorset/Somerset dialect and I adore it. Want to interview one of them

Primrose patch and a black pool. One day this part of the garden looks Godforsaken, the next day rather nice. Springing into life ☺️

The dark side of the Abbey today which marvellous medieval chimney. Posted many times but it’s a joy I think.

Sleepy pup 😊

Scout do you remember what happened last time?

Every day we put monkey chops into her little yellow vest so she gets used to it for when we can take her out. Her little mouth turns up naturally into a smile and she seems to have slotted cheerfully into our wee family. A happy Sunday to everyone from the Dorset / Somerset border. 🌞

Merci bien 😌 🤗🥳

Hello Christopher. I hope you are well. Tis so. Are most people more resilient? Probably. 🤷‍♀️ How is France? What are the views on La Guerre?

Beam me up Scottie! 🐿️

Thank you Cheryl ☺️🤗🤍

You’ll overcome, because he is running out of political and temporal life. Where might the decent leaders be? They must be there…

On this day last year, in deep grief, I spent some time in Stratford-upon-Avon and this is the beautiful old hotel we stayed in, very close to Shakespeare’s school.

Flooded Salisbury this day in 2024. In the time before.

First visit to grass 🥳

Persistence is key xx

Priory Church of Lady St Mary’s, Wareham. Taken this time last year.
