Greetings!

It's been months since I posted anything.  Coventry is changing

significantly.  Whilst we still have a number of Covid-19 restrictions 

I really feel the urge to get out there and safely take some photos.

This one was taken at a little spot we like to stop and enjoy the views

looking over Warwickshire, England.

It is a bit of a dull day but this wheat field looks a pretty sage green.

Have a good day!

Merry Christmas 2020

   Wishing you all a happy and safe Christmas this year.

The Oak Tree

 Coombe Country Park

A sweet relative of mine emailed recently asking for 

an update on how this beautiful oak tree was doing.

So this morning I went and had a look for myself. 

Thankfully, it is looking as good as ever, I would have to say.

Photos taken this morning after a nice long walk around the park.

Please take care and stay safe!

Moon Landing - 50 Years Ago Today

Commemorative Apollo 11 Medal

made by Lombardo Mint, Canada

Fifty years ago today, I was home sick with the flu. 
So glad.  I was able to watch the whole moon landing on TV. 

How about you?

My dad was an avid coin collector.  This medal is from his collection and

was passed on to my husband, a Coventry kid.  He found a good place for it :).

100 Years Ago...Remembered

Remembrance Sunday

Brinklow Village, Warwickshire

St John the Baptist Church -

Look closely and you will see 

glass silhouettes of two soldiers sitting on the bench above.

Cascade of hand-crafted poppies.

Today marks the 100 year anniversary of the end of hostilities

in the First World War at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.

There are many displays throughout the Village.  A wonderful effort by all.

Below is a display focusing on WWI Tank Corp.

Remembrance Sunday is held in the United Kingdom 

and the Commonwealth of Nations as a day 

"to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth 

military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts'.

************************

Greetings.  It has been a long time.  I have been

busy but still taking photographs here and there.  

Brinklow Village is located a short distance from Coventry, about

10 minutes from my home.  When I saw all the

hard work that had been undertaken (and believe me

there is so much more than what I show here), I 

decided I must share.

Warmest Best Wishes to you All!
