The notepads of 2025 – I’m on my 20th of the year right now…

The chef’s all set to dish out the ultimate stuffing!

A gold plated human doing the London street performer thing of floating (how it’s done, I’ve never fathomed!)

A squirrel (who’d fluffed him or herself up for the weather) came to the garden for a nice nibble was willing to pose for a picture.

A stunning display of the engineering spiders can manage, made even better by a morning chill…

…and one of these spiders decided to make him or herself visible (just – this long legged one was very strategic in their movement).

This colourful butterfly was braving the chill

A nearby house that’s got very creative in its front garden.

Giant baubles dangling above Londons Covent Garden Market…

…and I have to wonder how things that big get attached to the ceiling!

And a poem (altered slightly from the one in Hamlet – the Shakespeare play) that got spotted in an unusual garden (I’m always impressed by poems that rhyme nicely)

Happy 2026 everyone!
