Walking along the Itchen Navigation last weekend. Lovely. Must do the full route from Southampton to Winchester one day.

Bonus!

Best. Site. Ever! You might also want to sign this if you're a UK citizen. It's what she would have wanted; sell her off to the lowest bidder instead.

Guess which song from The Wizard of Oz I'm humming today!? This one!

But here's today's picture. O happy day!

Somewhat less impressive by day against a cold, grey sky. Still, it's Portsmouth's most distinctive feature.

Guess where we went yesterday?

Damp dog: I bet he smelled delightful later.

I took this photo on the day before Mothering Sunday; who lets their children graffiti (even temporarily) a public structure?

Sustrans and various local authorities have overhauled the top of the viaduct, creating a bike path and view points. While it lacks the tumbledown charm of its previous state, it's a great improvement -- and it's being used!

Fog, an abandoned house, gravestones . . . spooky!

The George, Alstonefield -- such good food! Well worth the scary drive through the Peak District in very thick fog to get there for lunch. PJ had salmon, I had a vegetable casserole with the best sticky red cabbage, and then we shared (i.e., I let PJ have a spoonful of) a treacle tart with clotted cream. Mmm!

The Potteries Museum, Stoke-on-Trent: well worth a visit. Good exhibition on The Staffordshire Hoard as well as lots of beautiful pots and some of the ugliest ceramics ever seen.

That Real Madrid is all very fancy, but how would they fare on a wet Wednesday in Stoke?

Hungerford Bridge - taken in London before the world turned into a death trap.

It's snowmageddon! The road is a death trap! Remember shocking images such as this and this? That's why I'm taking photos from indoors today.
