Ancient history

Posted on April 15, 2007February 21, 2017 by Ian C.

I’ve just spent a couple of hours going through boxes of old photographs, and I’ve scanned a few special ones – trying to capture them before they’re too faded/damaged to be worth looking at. Some of them already are poor, but they’re all worth a look!

Crocuses

Much later than in England, our crocuses are finally appearing … of course, it also snowed, rained and hailed today (with more expected this weekend)!

Kennebunkport

Posted on April 1, 2007February 21, 2017 by Ian C.

For Ians birthday, we headed north into Maine and stayed at the Captain Lord mansion in Kennebunkport; we chose the Oriental Room – and we chose well!

The hotel was fabulous – the staff were wonderfully attentive, the room beautifully decorated and very peaceful and cosy (complete with jacuzzi tub and fireplace), the breakfasts incredible … Kennebunkport is a nice little town too, with restaurants walking distance from the hotel, and beaches close by too:
