Right first time. Barn Close it is!

A good home with beautiful gardens and caring staff. They locked down well before the recommendation and have kept CV-19 out.

Now that it is so easy to upload photo's from phones, tablets and PC's to the site. I thought I'd start a photo of the day thread. Rules are simple.

You can post any photo here as long as it was taken by you in the last 24 hours.

I'll start with a picture taken on the long walk to my office this morning.

Hi Jim,
How do you go about putting a photo on here, I've looked but can't find any facility for doing it, sorry I'm a bit tick but I always seem to have difficulty using any website.

Went for a walk along the River Eden in town for the first time since before lockdown and spotted these two new seats in front of the Cenotaph.

I used to go fishing in the Eden there, caught some big eels I remember.

It looks fatter because I got really close to get the close up photo, when it slithered off it was about 3ft long. Haven’t seen one for ages.

I was very surprised when my cat brought one in the house, I was living in London at the time. What made it real fun was the floor boards were up as I was rewiring the house and the cat dropped it down there. Took me hours to catch it, I am on.y glad it was a grass snake and not an adder.

Another snake story - while travelling through Croatia I found a suitable place to wild camp and manoeuvred the van backwards and forwards a few times to get it level. When I opened the door to jump out and turn the gas on I nearly landed on a snake that was sticking its tongue out at me and very “rattled”. I have no idea what sort of snake it was because I didn’t hang around. What I can never understand is; why hadn’t it slithered away? My Mum used to say, “they are more frightened of you than you are of them”. You would have thought 3.5 tonnes of motorhome would have scared it into Bosnia!

Perhaps you were parked on its tail...

Ah, Fowey, I remember it well. My old Volvo engine blew up when motor sailing into the harbour! I left there two weeks later with a new Beta Marine engine and £6500 poorer. Nice town though!

Also took this photo yesterday. Flowers or weeds whatever you want to call them took it as a portrait photo so a different effect. Looks like they are floating almost like ufo’s coming into land.

Out for a walk with our 8 year old

grand daughter Charlie this afternoon she being a “townie” had never seen ploughing or knew what is was, so what better than to watch it happening.

Almost finished internal revamp. My patient wife is happy she can relax in the van as I start cleaning up ready for the last job of fixing the step riser into the cab.
