Distant Drum back in the Stour and manoeuvring to Ha’penny Pier

Amazing sky behind the truck ferry

Sunset over the Stour

Fergus was back in town, came to stay for a fortnight, and you wouldn’t believe he’d had the stroke a few weeks ago, he is so fit and well for his 13 years and four months

I took him over to Stour woods for a romp and he flatly refused to get out the car, until I walked away….

We opened the garden for Harwich Secret Gardens weekend and had 443 visitors, and two dogs, all trudging through the sitting room and kitchen to get to the garden

With Fergus in pole position welcoming them all, and seeing them back through the cottage and out the door

My friend Butty had her 50th party last weekend, an absolute blast – here she is with another good pal Beany – Looking great honey!!!

Janey (Beany’s wife), Timbo (Tim Villiers) and Beany. I’ve known Tim since I was 17 and Butty is his brother Hugo’s wife. Where does time go????
