Becky, Mat, and Poppy stayed overnight, for the first time without Tess who was minding the shop. Everyone slept well.
This morning our son and daughter took our granddaughter for a trip out. They returned after lunch and we spent a pleasant afternoon before they returned to Upper Dicker.
I spent some time scanning another dozen colour slides from my Streets of London series, but had insufficient energy left to research the streets and write up the post.
I therefore offer a sample of what I hope to expand upon tomorrow.
This evening, my selection from our stock of supermarket prepared meals; Jackie’s was macaroni cheese. The Culinary Queen added runner beans to each.
Wonderful the sleep over went well, And the Market stall looks colourful.. A pity our market town’s market is in decline..
Take care Derrick.. and yes there is always ‘tomorrow’ and tomorrow to finish a project..
( My Motto ) ๐
Quite so, Sue. Many thanks
nice picture and the flowers above are wonderful.
take as much time as you need – that is what I like about bloggers – well the ones I follow – they don’t always rush out a post and take a day or more if needed – and it shows in the outcomes – and I do not always see that on facebook – where people post and post and post and post… with little thought.
so ponder away (IMO)
Very many thanks, Prior. My aim is a daily diary, but I am learning to spread it over a bit
๐ yes – sounds like you are mindful of your readers too – and that is hospitality
๐
Thanks Derrick. Nice to have family visit, but can tire you out and sometimes you just need a break, take your timeto post when you are well rested. Thanks for the photos.in the interim.
Just got back from the Keys. Had a great time. Have lots of fun videos and Pics to post that will be comming over the next few days as my time permits
Very many thanks, Gary
Oh dear, you were so tired you couldn’t even remember what you ate! Take it easy my friend!!
: )
๐ I had no option yesterday, Pauline. Many thanks
A visit from Poppy and no pictures of her. . . You must be plum tuckered out, sir.
Thanks a lot, Jodie. I was rather tuckered out, but the lack of pictures is to respect parents’ concern for internet security
Ah, of course. I love the lines of pink, blue and green in that photo, btw.
When you have a good photo, you only need the one.
That’s what Jackie says, Mary. Very many thanks
Macaroni and cheese does the trick.
๐ Thanks very much, Drew
Take your time and stay rested x
Thanks a lot, Lynn X
most welcome derrick
The vegetable stall is reminiscent of the earliest system of trade when cattle and grain were exchanged in lieu of spices, fruits and provisions. It presents a lovely picture that packs a story, or shall I say a โbackstoryโ, as goes the popular phrase. I will wait for expansion of the theme. It seems stuff made by men are not easily accommodated by creations of the Maker. Wish you the best yet again!
Very many thanks, Uma
You and Jackie have a wonderful evening, Derrick! Looking forward to the Streets of London series, whenever it is ready.
Many thanks, Lavinia
The fruits and vegetables look inviting ๐
Thanks a lot, Lakshmi
The flowers are beautiful and cheery! The produce at the market looks beautiful and yummy! ๐
Hurrah for good sleeping and good overnight “guests”! ๐
Continued best wishes for you, Derrick, for healing and recovery!
(((HUGS))) ๐
Thanks very much, Carolyn X
Healing just can’t be rushed, as of course you know. Good that you’re acknowledging your current limitations. Gently does it, Derrick ๐
Many thanks, Sandra. Quite so ๐
I saw the post with your London photos before this one. That’s a great shot of the market.
I’m glad everyone slept well!
Many thanks, Merril ๐
My husband canโt eat cooked cheese. Whenever I see the hallowed words โmacaroni cheeseโ I remember that this is my cross to bear!
๐ Sorry for the reminder, Osyth. Many thanks
Donโt worry …. I sneak cooked cheesy treats whenever heโs away ๐
I always like your shots of London.
I am trying to contain my excitement at the thought of more photographs tomorrow.
So far I am containing it quite well…
๐ Thanks a lot, Quercus

Can still hear it ” Penny a pound, best King Edwards”, bit before your time methinks
Thanks very much, Brian. Probably
Wonderful pictures. I always enjoy the clicks you make having deep meaning – a treat to the eyes. Regards
Very many thanks, Harbans
My pleasure Derrick sir.
