They say a picture paints a thousand words and there have been some lovely photos on GN recently. I am a visual person and, especially at this time, pictures cheer me up. Autumn scenes, people's gardens, cake baking, craftwork, pets, clothes we fancy buying etc. Even stock images of Boris, royalty etc. What is the general feeling? Are they superfluous or do they add another dimension? Are we "allowed" to just drop them into a non photographic thread?
I do remember two getting properly locked together River. They had to shoot them. Here is a photo of deer we took at Wentworth Castle which is local to us.
That was 1964, fevertree. Then we moved up to Mill Hill where there were no stags, but I once woke up in my ground floor room to find a donkey staring in at me through the window. It had escaped from a stables down the road!
Fevertree we used to occupy a barracks in Richmond Park - hopefully pulled down now, as it was a horrible eyesore - and deer would sometimes be seen dashing off with our washing tangled in their antlers!!
My DD has one of these in her garden. I think it’s called a Tibetan cherry. The bark peels and curls in strips and it looks gorgeous when the sun is on it.
It’s actually wrong to post pictures of grandchildren without the parents permission. I work with children and we would be legally pulled over doing this.
I took these yesterday on my walk the little hedgehog was toodling along the bottom of a hedgerow and the Red Kite soaring over the golf course, loving all your lovely pics of London where I've lived all my life.
