Another May week





On Sunday the 17th I decided to capture a photo of the lovely blossom on my apple tree. I am hoping for lots of apples this year.


On the Monday I'd gone through to Newcastle to look at a car with my husband. He didn't end up buying it but we got stuck in traffic on the A1 in roadworks on the way back. The A1 is one of the main roads going through the north east of England.


On the Tuesday as I was leaving work I noticed this lovely sunset and decided to get a photo.


My Wednesday's time on my laptop was interrupted by my cat, who decided that the ideal place to sleep was on my lap between me and my laptop. She quite often changes the settings on it, causing me much confusion.


On the Thursday I was waiting for my husband in our car, and as seems to be the case this spring and summer it was raining.

Exercise equipment in Carlisle Park, Morpeth

On the Friday I went out with my dad to nearby Carlise Park in Morpeth, even though he's 67 he couldn't resist trying out the exercise equipment they have around the park. I couldn't resist taking a photo.


Finally on the Saturday I decided to take a photo of my tomatoes, still green but they are coming on nicely. I should hopefully get quite a few this year, although some sunshine would help them go red.

May week off

During the second week of May I had a week of work.

It was quite a busy week with lots to do, but I still enjoyed it.




On the Monday my husband and me went to Blyth to see the harbour master about a mooring for my husband's boat. I'm pleased to say it's pretty much all sorted apart from paying the bill. It had been a bit of a stressful weekend so after we had a meal in the town's Wetherspoons. It was a nice meal in great surroundings, as it's in the town's old cinema, and they've done a lovely job with it.


On the Tuesday I caught up with some gardening. Gardening is something I enjoy even if I'm not that good at it. There's something satisfying about nurturing plants and watching them give you food back. 

Original Fiat 500

The Wednesday was taking over by my husband's hospital appointment. As he's having an operation to remove his nasal polyps, we're just waiting for a date. In the evening we went to the monthly car show at the Metro Centre in Gateshead. I say car show it's actually an impromptu get together every second Wednesday evening of the month. We only go in the summer months as you get some great classic cars showing up there, as well as American muscle cars and boy racer ones. 

This little Fiat 500, was my favourite.


The Thursday was another day spent in the house catching up with jobs. The chicken is one which wanders out of it's home in the neighbours chicken coop to eat the seed which the birds drop from our feeder. We find the odd egg from her as well.


On the Friday, my dad and me went to Warkworth Castle, which is about half an hour from where I live in Northumberland. It's a ruin managed by English Heritage. We both really enjoyed it, and spent a few hours there happily exploring and taking photos. 







Finally on the Saturday I was coming back from shopping with my husband and he stopped so I could take this photo. I quite like it as I think it's quite an English scene.



More May Photos of the Day

It's now June, although only just as I'm still playing catch up.

Still taking my photo each day though.




On the 6th |May it was a lovely day, but I was at work for most of it. I decided to take a photo of my apple blossom buds. Before this challenge they're not something I've really taking much notice of.


On the 7th I went around to see my friend with the broken wrist, it's much better and she's now back at work. This is a photo of her lovely dog Sash, she's a sweetie, even if she didn't want to pose for  photo.


On the Friday I went out with my dad, and we again went to the seaside village of Amble. This is a photo of the River Coquet as it looks inland towards Warkworth.


On the Saturday I was again short of time, but looking at people who've done this challenge before I remembered that they often include selfies. This is one of me and my husband.


On the Sunday I went with my husband to check his lobster pot. He hadn't caught anything, but we did see this crab in one of the rock pools nearby.
