I’ve had a whirlwind few weeks starting a new job and now… I’m off to Japan! I won’t update while I’m gone so won’t be posting for a few weeks. The house renovations are still in progress but we had a good deadline of getting some things ready for the people who are staying here while we are away.

These are pictures from a lunchbreak at the botanic gardens a few days ago.

Cheerio Cotswolds!

For the past two years I have been commuting from Oxford to out-west in the Cotswolds, but now I am about to start a new job that is situated in the heart of Oxford. Of course I’ll be back in the Cotswolds from time-to-time on the weekends, but I thought that before I leave this landscape I should do a round up of some of the pictures from my commute and the extensive walks I have taken in every direction from the office. So here it is…

I have also made a new topic category ‘Cotswolds‘ that shows all the Cotswolds posts of the last two years. There are going to be a lot less pictures of sheep on here! :)

Over the Easter weekend we went to Compton Verney with my family, it is a place we’ve visited before. Again my favourite was their collection of British folk art. That is my mother’s cooking, really delicious :)

This was my egg dyeing this year, I dipped some of them into several colours to see how that would work.

I’ve seen lots of beautiful pictures of the blossom season happening over in Tokyo, we are not at that stage yet here. I must stop talking about the weather! A good stick to stir the old leaves and an audio book are excellent companions on a solo walk :)
