JUDGEMENT DAY...

....not in that sense of course...What you see in the above picture are some of the photographs that we are putting on display starting September 3rd at the Gallery. They are all by local photographers, I can tell you there are some lovely pictures that will be going on the wall. The reason they are spread out over the floor? Well to add a little spice to the exhibition there is also a competition, I wasn't the judge I hasten to add, the winner, you'll have to wait until the opening evening 6pm till 9pm on September 10th to find out that. 

We are also raising money for Haven House a local 
children's hospice who do fantastic work. If you'd like to make an online donation to this very worthy cause you can just click here to go through to the Haven House donations page.

EVENING TIME...

I had a stroll the other evening, nowhere in particular. I did however end up wandering past a floodlit Christ Church. The spire looked beautiful framed by the trees on Christchurch Green....

V SHAPED...

There have been some fabulous skies over Wanstead lately especially at sunset. This evening was no exception, I really like the 'V' shape created by the trees with the colour behind and the clouds above....

CELEBRATION...THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY..

I came across this wonderful couple as I left the Gallery late this afternoon, I just had to stop and ask if I could take their picture. As you may know there had been a 'Patrons picnic lunch earlier in the day in The Mall in front of Buckingham Palace with 10,000 people attending. This couple were just returning when I spotted them, they are Dennis and Edna Stinchcombe, both MBE's by the way, from Bristol but   enjoying the delights of Wanstead for a few days. They are members of The Royal Society of St George, the Patron being Her Majesty the Queen as you can see by the flags and hampers they had a wonderful time despite the rain...

A FINE SPRING DAY...

....and summer must be just around the corner, what a difference from yesterday's picture. It didn't last long yesterday, the snow that is, only a minute or so but it was certainly fast and furious while it lasted. This couple hurrying along Stanstead Road must have been really grateful for the umbrella...

Weather update, according to the very reliable @wanstead_meteo it was actually 'soft hail' and I'm sure that's correct but I think it's more fun to think 'snow'...

SIMPLE...

...just a very simple straightforward picture of Christchurch Green yesterday as I passed on my way to the Gallery.    As you can see the sun was shining and it even feel a little warm...summer must be on the way...
