Yesterday was lovely. I will do a separate post about Leeds Castle but it is possibly one of the 'nicest' places I have been to, very carefully designed and planned for great views, some exercise and things for the whole family to enjoy.
A few photos.
It was a 'try out the new (molto cheapo) camera' day too. I'm no expert so really can't talk about the actual quality of the photos but it sits well in my hand, doesn't pull on my wrist (I use a wrist strap), is slightly slower in response than the old one but then it is an awful lot cheaper in numerical terms, let alone 'real' terms and it isn't draining the battery like the old one started doing.
On the other hand, the settings are more limited - and I did use some of the settings - and changing them feels a bit clunky.
On the whole, for now, I am satisfied.
Maybe I need to do some side by side stuff, old and new, just to compare. I (probably) won't bore you with that though. 😉

On to today and there's nothing in the diary all weekend. That doesn't mean there's nothing to do, mind you - there's the aforementioned washing, etc, I have both sourdough and yeasted loaves to make - double yeasted loaves because there's two for Beth and two to take to Centre Parcs on Monday. In no way is that a hassle - yeasted loaves are dead easy and very satisfying as they rise, especially in this warmer weather and sourdough is much more responsive too. There's a pay back in a less sour flavour but it is always delicious, however the starter behaves.
I have food to sort out and packing to do - again, not a hassle, it just needs doing. Then I would like to ;leave the house in reasonable nick so there's dusting and sweeping, etc. Oh, and the garden - those weeds need to know their place!!
Better go and see how the washing is doing, I suppose. And have my bath, get dressed, start the daily chores, etc, etc.
Have a lovely Saturday, everyone. xx
Edit to add that there was a very odd comment on yesterday's post - I am sure it was some sort of spammy, scammy thing and I deleted it, of course. I hope no-one clicked on it and apologies - one the Blogger filter missed. x
Your photographs are lovely. And it sounds like you had a great day at Leeds Castle. I'll have to add it to my list of must-see places - although, it's getting rather long now :)
ReplyDeleteI've already done two loads of washing this morning. But the bed linen will need to wait until tomorrow, when the weather looks much brighter, and I can peg it out on the line. Xx
It's a lovely place, well worth a visit. We were so lucky with the weather too - I doubt it would have felt so positive in the rain.
DeleteHope the washing goes well. :-) xx
Glad you had a lovely day at Leeds Castle. Enjoy Centre Parks and fingers crossed for good weather. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThanks, Catriona. We all love Center Parcs. xx
DeleteHello Joy. Long reply today as I have been catching up on two months.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I hope you are OK after your fall the other day and you are not too stiff and bruised.
What a fantastic holiday you had in Crete, with some wonderful places to visit, good food and great company. I especially liked the bowls and fridge magnets you bought back. D will be in Crete later in the Summer so will see some of the same places.
I have been to Oxford but not Cambridge, so your post on that has put it on my long list of places to visit.
I love WOB too. I have bought really good books from them especially some ancient classics that I didn't think they would have. Sometimes I do like the feel of a real book.
Wouldn't it be great if you had a few pears on your tree this year. My cherry tree is feeling a bit sad- a major branch has broken and I think it is on its last legs.
Finally Happy Birthday too Alex.
Phew! Thats all for now. Be back to visit very soon. Take care x
Lovely post as always x
