Here are a few random photos from 2025, many from near our house, but a couple from visits to old friends.
A Bee Orchid not far from our house. Sometimes we find it....
Kate looking at one of my favourite Cézannes.
Quite hot outside!
Auntie Mair's irises still going strong
When we're in the Lake District we always try to visit the bench on Buttermere which has a plaque for our great friend Sue Greig, and her parents.
New book shelves!
I thought this bench plaque was amusing...
