Thoroughly loved our recent trip to Rotterdam, Delft and Efteling! Fantastic places to visit, and so much fun round the theme park at Efteling.

Efteling bosrijk lake with castle for the ducks in the centre, low light. Surrounded by trees.

#eclipse photo from yesterday. Taken on my phone through solar eclipse glasses. Many thanks to the person in the park who gave us their glasses as they were off to the pub!

Trees in silhouette at the base of the photo, and a small sliver of red sun in the sky, and a bit of moon in front.

I felt like a bit of beach time so we spent a night at Bridlington. It was lovely, even though a seagull mugged me for my doughnut 😅

Just had some fantastic tiling done to finish off our kitchen. Original #1950s English Rose units, custom made hatch and worktops.

Kitchen with cream cupboard doors, turquoise tiles, yellow painted walls and maroon oven.

Pickled chillies, grown in my Dad's greenhouse. I spent yesterday evening chopping and prepping, then had a sudden wake up this morning when I rubbed sleep from my eye, still had chili on hands even after much cleaning! #chili #chillies

Jar of picked chili on top of a tub still full of vicious spicy things

Thanks @sainsburycentre.bsky.social. It was our first visit today and we were really impressed. Thought provoking exhibitions, and excellent children's activities. Apologies for my son using almost all the masking tape to make a 3d model of Pa-sheri from @derbymuseums.bsky.social...

Egyptian style mummy made from scrap paper, wrapped in masking tape bandages, with two eyes showing. On a white plinth.

My son has made a #blackcat appreciation day poster. So, remember to appreciate it, or it may grin at you too...

Really enjoyed visiting Newton's house today at Woolsthorpe Manor. Fascinating stories from the room guides about the house and it's history! Also, apples! Very tasty raw even though they're supposed to be cooking apples #nationaltrust #apples #newton

Two apples from Newton's apple tree in his garden. They didn't fall on our heads though.

Amazing evening yesterday at Audley End @heritagelive.bsky.social My son said it was worth missing a BBQ for 😅 Great sets from Cast, OCS and Roger Daltrey!

I have been painting our hallway, stairs and landing in magnolia with orange feature walls. I've done 3 coats so far and it's finally almost covered over the dark red that was there before!

Wooden stair rail, B&Q Valencia orange wall on the right over the stairs. Magnolia walks on the left.

Took the cats for their annual vet check and vaccination today. They were unimpressed, we had quite a cats chorus going in the car! Still important to get it done #vet #caturday

Trying to work out when the fruit on our Lincolnshire Scad will be ready. Having found the correct answer, it turns out it actually is October and November. Though it's definitely still not a fish. #scad #bullace

Text from Google 'when to eat scad' search says it's a horse mackerel fish and is best in October and November

Last week I had a brilliant time exploring Cornwall. It's impossible to pick a favourite experience (well, maybe Newlyn Meadery for eating out) but wanted to mention Trengwainton Garden @nationaltrust.org.uk whose idea of making kebabs from fallen flowers was inspired, and kept us all entertained.

Colourful red, pink, white large flowers on many kebab style sticks embedded in the grass outside the gardens

Seemed like a nice evening to take our cat for a walk 😀 #catsofbluesky #caturday This was just before he decided to head to the neighbours fence so see if he could sneak off next door without us noticing (no, he couldn't).

I had a lovely time visiting Grimsthorpe Castle today. Interesting building and lots of open space and a playground for the children.

Room with lamp on a coffee table and chairs around it. One of many portraits in the background

Spent a lovely day at the Raptor Foundation near St Ives, UK, yesterday. A lovely place to spend the night in the Falcons Nest, and the income from overnight guests also supports their rescue work. raptorfoundation.org.uk #raptors #falconsnest

I'm not dead, just chilling out in the sun! Meerkat on sand with it's legs in the air.

Gardens view with tree framing the front left and top, picnic bench on grass, and aviaries in the background.

Bird behind wire mesh. Can't remember what type. Long legs, big, tallish. I want to say sriracha but that's a sauce. It was something like that anyway.

If you are in need a new knitting project that's a bit different, pop over to my husband's store www.lindumcrafts.co.uk for #classiccars #knitting #dinosaur #cat patterns and kits, and freebies. Also available on Ravelry (and set up to auto send patterns, if you buy through the website it's slower).
