Here are some photos of Winchester Cathedral. We left in the morning and travelled by car to a Park and Ride. These are fantastic. They are a commuter car park with facilities to pay for your bus ticket and from there, you catch the bus to your destination. They are much more economical than a train or going by car.
The buses are a treat too. They are bright and colourful and generally very clean and well maintained.
From the bus, we then walked to the Cathedral. We went through Abbey Gardens, which is a beautiful park and playground for children. The little waterway is very picturesque. We walked past some excavations at the Abbey and made our way through to the front of the Cathedral.
Click on the image to view a slide show of 35 photos of our trip to the Cathedral and of the exterior. I’ll do the interior later.
We’ve wanted to live on acreage for a long time and we’ve finally found something that we like and that we can afford. So… we made an offer and it was accepted. Here are some images from the real estate advertising. It is not our furniture and junk in the photos, but it will give you an idea of the tranquillity of the grounds and outdoor areas.
This is an areal view of the property. It is on 1.5 acres. It has a creek and a pond!
It will need some modifications to suit our needs and taste, but we don’t have to do anything to it straight away. The bathroom will eventually be re-tiled. I find the current tiles horrid. There will be a heap of power points being added straight away. Some of the pool fencing will need to be moved to fit our spa where we want it and the dogs will need to have their own fenced area.
The last two photos are of the guest house accommodation.
This is so exciting.
On our first day in England, my father in law drove me around the area where they live in Southampton. I really enjoyed the drive.
One of the things that struck me is how narrow the streets are compared to our streets. Probably what makes the streets seem even narrower is the small front gardens. Here in Australia we have fairly spacious streets and front gardens.
Also, the trees were just sticks. They looked dead. It’s not something I see in the tropics. the trees here don’t loose their leaves and the grass isn’t always green because it’s so dry.
One of the places he took me was along the Itchen River. There is a lovely walk and park there. The weather wasn’t too bad. Spring was trying to poke through. Still very cold for us coming from the tail end of summer of a hot country. I found wearing all the clothes I was wearing to be bulky and restictive.
The flowers are crocus
And the local wildlife
Best of all, the crocuses were flowering. I love bulbs and I wish I could grow them in my garden in Australia.
Four lovely ladies have joined the creative team and they have been busy scrapping: Kel, Dani, Debora and Peni. Welcome ladies and thank you for having made so many nice pages.
Here are some more pages using the new masked templates,

I’ve been playing in photoshop with the watercolor filters and this is the result:
I took this photo of a thatched roof cottage I took while I was in England last month:
And turned it into this water colour painting:
Next time, I’ll try to remember to tidy up the photo including removing overhead wires and television areals. Click on the photos to enlarge them.
