I Had A Few Things To Do In The Morning,

hoover the flat being one of them,

but the Shark hoover we have has died, so that was that, I emailed the local repair service, so hopefully they will email me back or call me, so out into a clear, blue sky day, 

and there it was! the snail mail box was back, well done the Post Office, 

this is where I was headed, 

Kelsey Park, 

I was going to put all of the tips I had received about getting photographs in focus every time into practice, 

past the gate house, 

and the beds of blue primroses,  

opposite it,

as well as beds,

of these yellow ones,

not sure that I would like living here, people constantly walking past all day long, I spent the day snapping away, 

looking back as I left the park,

walking towards the Chinese garage entrance, 

with this imposing house, 

beside the gate, 

the reason I was going home this way,

was to call in here, at the Park Langley Delicatessen, I wanted to buy Diana a couple of cakes that are made on the premises, 

on my way home passing the graveyard, 

it needs a haircut!

past the green, 

with its Beckenham sign,

it was at this point, even thought the day was windy I could smell the aroma of the wisteria growing on Foxgrove Lodge, 

at the front of the garden a huge cascade of flowers,

with more over the building,

I carried on walking home,

this tree, very late flowering, or dead,

not so the chestnut, 

full of flowers, it is going to be a good year for conkers, arriving home I had a short play with the days photographs, still too many that were not quire right, there must be something I am doing wrong with the camera and lens, Diana had sent me a few more photographs of the girls holiday, she is at work as I type this, so I will let the photographs speak for themselves, their last day, 

in the evening the girls were out,

to another bier keller, 

I should say these were all litre glasses, of non-alcoholic beer, 

 a short 'Cheers!',

the next morning time for breakfast/lunch,

before boarding the plane,

and then they were off, I picked up Diana from Kai's home in the evening, arriving home it was feet up for a coffee and a chat, as we watched a Bangers & Cash, Diana was then off to bed, tomorrow back to work with a 04.00AM start, for myself another Bangers before I too was off to bed.
