Last Blog of the Year 2018 Part 2

Photos from the second half of the year, above is the reflection of Walmer Castle on the pond in the Queen Mothers Garden, taken on a calm  October afternoon.

JULY

Just a few of the beautiful flowers in pots, in part of my garden :)

An amazing Atrium in one the buildings in the Discovery Park, Sandwich. 

The local Sailing Club out in force on a lovely day.

AUGUST

Above and below, two beautiful blooms in Walmer Castle Garden.

SEPTEMBER

Canon trained on the sea, just in case of invasion!! Walmer Castle, built by Henry V111 in 1539. One of three castles built by Henry in the area (Sandown, Deal and Walmer) to protect the Downs in the English Channel.

One of my lovely cats, Loki, enjoying some sun in the garden. The washing basket is obviously very comfortable :)

Decorated trees in St Peter's Garden, Sandwich. They looked lovely :)

OCTOBER

A perfect Dahlia in my garden, I had lots this year, they make the garden very colourful in October :)

Sunrise from my usual spot on my way to work in Sandwich. The mist hovering on the ground made it so beautiful.

NOVEMBER

A favourite place for lots of people to sit for a few minutes in St. Peter's Church Garden, the gate on the right leads into the 'secret' part of the garden :)

The wonderful Viking Ship 'Hugin' at Pegwell Bay on a very cold and windy day in November. The Hugin was a gift from The Danish Government in 1949 to commemorate the arrival 1500 years earlier of Hengist and Horsa, leaders of the Anglo-Saxon invasion. The boat is a modern replica, and was rowed from Denmark to Broadstairs by 53 Danes. When we were young the shields were all different colours, which personally I preferred, but it is still lovely.

DECEMBER

Part of our Christmas Tree this year, more of a memory tree than anything with lots of hand made decorations :)

My lovely cat Loki, posing next to my Christmas Azalea :)

That is my year in photos, it is always hard picking which ones I will include in these two blogs, but it will hopefully give you a small taste of my life :)  Onwards to new photos in 2019 :)
