Kevin the cutsie kitten
|
|
Tig, who I work with, breeds Birman kittens. Here'e the first one of the latest batch to find a home. A little girl cat, the name 'Kevin' being fairly provisional. Undoubtedly to be replaced by something more fitting (Eric?) at a later date.
Still two more left

Normandy at peace in the 21st century is a very beautiful place. Greatly different from the earlier experience of the many eighty and ninety year old veterans who revisited this year.

Vehicles of D-Day

An assortment of transport to be seen in and around Normandy earlier in the month.
Shot #1 is the first shot of the group of vehicles I 'antiqued' for the earlier black and white photos below.

US Cemetery at Colleville

Inevitably the 60th Anniversary celebrations had their downside too. The serried ranks of headstones, each standing for a life that ended too early.
The contrast between the very stark US crosses and the UK headstones softened by rows of plants and flowers was very noticeable. But even in the US Cemetery some little individual touches appeared, a bunch of flowers here, a hand-painted pebble there. Maybe they were collected up seconds after I'd walked away. I'll never know.
Picture #2?
A small group of mixed ages were gathered around a sixty year-old grave which had had a neat, rectangular hole excavated near the headstone. On the ground next to it a polished wooden casket, just a little smaller than the hole.
A wife was about to be reunited with the husband she loved after sixty long years of separation

On Sunday I noticed that our Clematis Henryii had a large bud that looked about to bloom.

Crabbing
|
|
What else to do on a damp Sunday but to head off down to Walberswick to annoy the crabs.
Please note. No animals were harmed in the making of this Fotopage, though some were mightily p*ss*d off.
