Antwerp: so much to say. Let's start with the obvious. A partial view of the Cathedral from our hotel window.

Such a treat to learn about (and interact with) Horniman Museum's handling collection in the beautiful conservatory last night.

I love this tree on Chislehurst Commons
Tree with branches like two elongated arms, in woods on a bright sunny day.

Lovely cold crisp morning for a walk. Phoebe met the bears (!), more new dogs, and failed to see the parakeets.

Comfort trip into the garden for Phoebe - no coat so we had to be quick. Everywhere is still frozen.

Say 'Hello' to Phoebe, everyone. A young ex-racer who's currently wondering what this thing called a ' house' might be.

Glorious, clear blue skies and very cold on today's local walk. Love the splash of green of the parakeet, and today's #Chislehurst bears

More than one woodpecker drumming today, 29 December. New herb bed filled with soil and strawberry runners planted. And a bumble bee on the Christmas hellebore in the porch. #garden

3 December and there were bumble bees in the mahonia - but sadly not in this picture!

Just a typical November day in south east London. Parakeets stripping the mahonia flowers and rowan berries.🌱

Even on a wintry day, this is where I'd always choose to spend my time.
