I believe you mean 'Nom Nom', Mr Macrae. Now, are those some kind of blood sausages I see, lower left?   |

Already snaffled (numnum  ) Yes, a blood sausage that a friend got in a fairly upmarket deli. Not a Scottish black pudding, but a Spanish or French version, I think. |

Absolutely gorgeous day here. This is the view I snapped on my walk back home just now...  |

Super shot, IGI! And you've got me all homesickly again (not that I'm from Winchester itself, but close enough, and I went to school there for two years). I was in the cathedral just last week, in fact!  |

I was in the cathedral just last week, in fact! I went to the food fair they held in the Cathedral grounds at the weekend. Lots of delicious goodies to be had - wines, cheeses, cake, scones, salami etc. Seriously good. Bumped into colleagues plus a few ex-pupils too, which is always nice. I don't go into the Cathedral too often, mainly for concerts; the BSO are doing some RVW-based concerts in June, to which I'll toddle along, especially an evening where the strings will be playing the Tallis Fantasia, Dives and Lazarus, plus Elgar, Delius and Grieg. |

Could that be Ron's favourite plant in the background there?  |

It's far enough away not to be doing me any damage, eru. This, on the other hand, is rather closer.... |

Aaaaargh! Boy, that's a close-up and a half, Ron! Actually, Eru, I'm sure the yellow blanket in IGI's shot is just the Twyford Down buttercup meadow, in all its innocence. |

I don't go into the Cathedral too often,
And with the present Bishop of Winchester you need a rabies injection before you do. |

Took this yesterday on my little camera, a tree near Birmingham Uni. Now why am I reminded of Barbara Cartland all of a sudden?  [cotitsalv] |

Now, now, Don B....although not a practising Christian, I do know Bishop Michael after visits he made to my previous school. Some eight years on, and at a different school, he stills remembers my name, stops to chat and always asks about cricket and music, having picked up they are my great passions. He's always struck me as a very nice chap and has tremendous presence. Back to the photos. I love this time of year, not least for the lilacs in my neighbours' garden, which overhangs mine - glorious colours.  |
