ghillies bar beside the thames at putney

 

high tide on the thames at putney

 

it seems more like may than october on putney heath, next year's buds are swelling on the oak trees ...

 

... and some of the conker trees think it is spring already ...

and the mass of fresh nettles are stinging my ankles through my trousers

 

to the western docks at southampton ...

 

... through the steel jungle of the container port ...

 

... to leave that old bmw in safe hands until it is shipped back to spain

ellen rose forward under the avoncliffe aqueduct

 

this sign was placed strategically between a hump back bridge and a blind corner ... a long time ago

 

to barnston on a crisp morning ...

 

... to collect a friend's car from a very nice man

 

... and then to thaxted

 

there's a lot of textured plasterwork in thaxted

 

... where gustav holst lived awhile
