The passage of time in Wellington and elsewhere
Another Christmas present read.
A short book but intense to read. I can see why it has such positive reviews. An intriguing story or PTSD, alcohol addiction and resulting jealousy and violent abuse.

Good one.
On to the next.
A new walk today though one we have looked at for a while.
We started at Princes Risborough walking east towards Wendover. We did not make it that far but did a there and back of about 14 km.
We reached Chequers, not knowing that it was in the area. Slightly weird with the signs making not clear crossing fences was a criminal offence. A far few cameras on display too.
A beautiful area with great views in the mist early on.
A trip to say hello, tidy up and give some flowers
😊
An afternoon at Kew by the Thames. Sunny and warm. Apparently 18C today. Worrying as it is not the end of February yet. Hmmmm.
A trip in the cold to an interesting art viewing.
We all enjoyed the exhibition and during which, I learned what cubism is.
As well as that we were able to appreciate some great impressionist paintings as well as some works of Adolf vonMenzel.
We are on day two of trip to see EQ and enjoy a few sites.
Es ist kalt.😬
We are in London in a new flat.
The journey in a high sided van was a little uncomfortable through northern France as the remnants of the storm included strong winds and lots of rain.
So we awoke with a snow lined vista. It is chilly and the heat pump is doing its job.
Early opening of the Santa stockings for very large children and then out for a walk.
A lively chat with Joe last night. A beautiful warm sunny day for him in contrast.
Super effort today by EQ.
On a chilly morning she ran the line distance in the beautiful surroundings of Florence.
Mum and dad went from one part of the course to another in order to offer cheer and encouragement. Shaz almost lost her voice from all the encouragement of the runners, while both of us had sore hands from clapping!
The atmosphere was great and the city is a fine backdrop to an event.
