Ramshead Manor

Nice to see the antipodean version of BBC's Ghosts has made it to these shores, joining the US version and of course the original on the BBC iplayer. The narrative is broadly the same but with tweaking of characters and local references. Establishing exterior shots, do natural showcase the beauty of Australia, what's not to like?

Lots of fun.

Smug Much?

There must be a name (in unpredictable Britain) for that smug feeling when you wash all your bedding, dry it outside on the line and get it back on your bed in around 6 hours. I can't be the only one who feels a sense of achievement and ever so slightly smug about it LOL?

(Ordinarily my bedding would be completely changed for one of many sets I own but hey why go to that extra effort today?)

Perfect?

The weather in my little part of the UK is just right. Others may disagree but this is just fine in my opinion. Enjoy.

Ice Ice Baby

What could be better than spending some time in the company of a Iced Americano? Well, there are far worse ways to kill time LOL.

Spangled

I recently acquired this nice little Half Dollar coin, in time for some sort of celebration the Americans are having. It's a big deal for our transatlantic cousins apparently LOL.

Rarity

It's not very often these days I willingly, or otherwise, get to visit Reading. 

The town has certainly changed these past few years. Some changes are positive, and sadly a great many not so. There's a lot of empty shop units, and those that are still occupied seem quite devoid of actual customers. 

Plus of course nearly at every turn there's people begging and also evidence of a lot of rough sleeping.

If this is what "success" looks like in 2026, I'll have none of it thank you very much.

Anyway, here's a selection of hopefully uplifting pictures. (Since the Bayeux Tapestry now on- temporary- display in London, I thought I'd take another look at the Victorian replica held at our local museum.)
