Today I went to Postman’s Park for a bit of quiet contemplation.
The addition of Leigh Pitt’s memorial tile left me wordless. What an utterly selfless and brave man he must have been!

This week’s Photohunt challenge is “garbage” – or, as we would call it here in the UK: “rubbish”. Rubbish is a massive problem in a big city like London. We simply have far too much of the stuff and nowhere to put it! I took this picture when I sent away for the latest free rubbish collection box from the council to be added to our existing suite of boxes!
We live in a very green borough, which is a good thing, but I think they have taken it a wee bit far as far as the amount of different rubbish bins you have to have is concerned. We have no less than SIX:
We are lucky enough to have a big house with a utility room, which can house all the bins, but I really wonder what people who live in smaller houses do!
Boris Johnson, the mayor for Greater London, has launched the "Recycle More" campaign to get people to do just that. The campaign is a great initiative, which is much needed and I look forward to seeing how they will extend the project into blocks of flats and commercial property. Anyhow, that’s enough talk for one picture – did you play along in the Photohunt today? If not – click HERE to find out how to partake.
Happy snapping.
Today’s Friday sky pictures are from last Friday, when I was lucky enough to get home from work early enough to go on a wee photosafari in the garden.
The sky was a funny mixture of scattered clouds and blue sky. I always think the sky is more interesting with clouds on it, although I prefer the weather that comes with a pure blue sky…

The June of month has been filled with beautiful weather, too beautiful to sit indoors and even too hot to knit! I know, it sound unbelievable, but it really is true. 
Instead of knitting I give you flowers. Roses from my own garden – and I love them!
It has been a while since I’ve partaken in the “Looking at the sky on Friday” meme, but I’m back with loads of sky pictures today, when the sky was particularly tall and blue – just how I like it.
As I walked to the station this evening and I stopped and looked for a minute, as I was passing the Royal Exchange. The evening sun had caught the eastern clock tower beautifully and as it happened, I had my camera with me – and I never was able to resist a photo opportunity! 
The sun was reflecting on the white of the tower, giving the effect of water reflection on the bottom of a ship. The contrast of the white against the blue of the sky was close to making me late for my train!
Before I had to dash off to the station, I managed one last snap – of the huge gilded Gresham grasshopper at the top of the tower.
I caught the train and made my way from the station to home. The weather has suddenly turned, summer is here and I love it. I stopped for a second and looked up a the plane that was making its way across the sky. I can’t see a plane or a jetstream on the sky without dreaming of my next holiday.
This evening I looked up at the sky and what I saw really made me chuckle. The only cloud on the sky looked like a witch travelling on her broomstick across the sky, with an airplane in hot pursuit.
That’s a wee selection of what I saw, when I looked at the sky today. What did you see? Find more information about how to play along, by visiting Tisha’s blog.
