KINDNESS...

...it's often a rare comodity with not enough of it in the world these days. One exception are the owners of one of our local  restaurants here in Wanstead. As you can see by the notice on the front reading 'free food for homeless people' the patron of Turkish restaurant Gezi Park in the High Street really is one of the good guys...

HAPPY MONDAY...

.....'happy monday' is that another song title? As a lot of people don't really look forward to returning to work after the weekend I though this picture might cheer them up. We have a beautiful cherry tree in our front garden, every year it produces wonderful blossom, as you can see there is also a nice bush next to it. The point is they never bloom at the same time.....except for this year, happy Monday....

AGLOW....

You may recognise the above scene but in case you are not a Wanstead resident it's the children playground  on Christchurch Green. Due to the stirling efforts of the @WansteadPlay and Wanstead residents funds have been raised to overhaul the playground and replace much of the equipment. The sun was setting as I passed the other night making the cover of the new child sized car light up, it all looked rather splendid...

A LITTLE FROST...

This is another 'car park' picture you may have seen the other one on my last post. I took this a few days ago before the weather warmed slightly....ever so slightly I might add. I spotted these frost covered leaves as I parked the car in the car park just off Wanstead high street, I just liked the shapes. Although I wish I had been there earlier when the frost was heavier...ah well c'la vie...

A LTTLE DRAMA...

...I had to pop up to Birmingham a few days ago to a trade show. It was a long day walking around the stands and chatting, all in a days work though. However on the walk back to the car the sky was amazing, so dramatic, I just had to stop and grab a picture...

ALAS POOR YORICK...

...as Shakespeare said. Well no actually it's Dexter who has been living with us for many years. Dexter has now decided the time has come to move out and is off to live with a medical student, I hope they'll both be very happy together...

...by the way Happy Halloween....

SWAN LAKE...

.......couldn't think of a more original title I'm afraid. It's just the swans on Snaresbrook Pond, I shot the picture very late in the evening and I really like the colours...

RAINY DAYS..

Ah, the English summer you can't beat it. I took this picture last Friday, it rained all day and it looks like it will do much the same today. Still the forecast for tomorrow is much better...when we are all back at work of course..

HOT LIPS..

....I'm pretty sure there was a song with that name, I just can't place it, never mind. As you may have guessed this picture was not taken in Wanstead. I had to make a journey into central London the other night to drop off a package. Walking back to the car I passed the office of the luxury lingerie supplier 'Agent Provocateur'. I am so pleased they had a glass door, otherwise I would have missed this spectacular sofa.
