The Catch

Out and about in the backyard today Robert and Dave, the fishermen, returned with a catch.

Paddy seems proud of their efforts

Fish and Chipperies

From time to time I take photos of eateries that we visit. When travelling these are often shops, cafes or restaurants that serve that good old staple Fish and Chips. Following are a few of the establishments that have contributed to our cholesterol count and some which we have passed on our travels.

20 Something Snaps - Roundabouts

 While they are an effective form of traffic management Roundabouts  can strike fear into drivers who are not used to them. I remember , on my first visit to London, in 1983, when confronted with large roundabouts I sometimes did a few circuits prior to making an exit. 

On our travels we have driven around and sometimes over a number of roundabouts of all sizes. Sometimes these are filled with weeds, sometimes lovingly tended and sometimes they are home to sculptures or other structures.

Here are a few we have seen. As these pics are mostly taken from the windows of moving vehicles their quality is dubious.
