The end of an era
We’ve been lucky enough to have a very nice chippy up the road. Peggottys was a neat family operation, one of that dwindling pool of old-school independent shops. We’ve gone there roughly once a week all year and gotten to know the folks there, so we were sad to learn that [...]

Off to Methwold Old Vicarage (all because of a visit to Peake’s House)
A mentioned earlier, our friend Jane stayed in Peake’s House, a wonderful old Landmark Trust property here in Colchester. This photo is Jane, Sub-Evil Boy and WeatherGirl as they walk towards Peake’s House (the half-timbered building on the left) in the evening.
We were so inspired by that great house, and the wonderful collection of [...]

No snow for Xmas, but we got a white Easter!
We’ve dodged a fairly serious winter back in Minnesota while on sabbatical this year, and we’ve had no snow and very little cold weather over here in Colchester. In a fit of weird timing, however, we had something like an inch of big Bing Crosby stuff today. I’ve not actually be out of [...]

Happy Xmas Eve :-)
Just before we came up to Preston for the holidays I was able to spend some time taking photos in the beautiful frost we’d been having in Colchester. This is one of the results of that little adventure.
Happy Xmas Eve!

Short Cut Road
Gotta love cool street names. This is in an area just north of the Colchester City Centre called the Dutch Quarter (see map).

Stepping into the unknown
The tour of Colchester Castle not only took us down to the Dungeon, but we also got to climb up onto the roof. My pictures from up there aren’t terribly interesting, but I liked the staircase on the way up :-).

With joy shall ye draw water
This is a detail of an old public water fountain set in the wall of a “great house” here in Colchester. Apparently something like 9 houses were destroyed to make room for this monster, so perhaps the fountain was an attempt to assuage some guilt?
For those who would like a little context, WeatherGirl posted [...]

Hey-dee-ho! Spiffy new version of WordPress all around
I just finished a long overdue upgrade of all the UnhinderedByTalent.com WordPress installs, so everyone’s all spiffy and shiny now.
The photo (from the Green Fair where we met the River Nene folks) is just there to fool you into believing this post actually had content :-).
Someone asked over on Flickr if I knew who this [...]

Unrelenting, the seasons change
Apparently they’ve had snow back in Morris, but we’re not likely to see any of the white stuff here in Colchester. The leaves are turning with enthusiasm, however, and it’s definitely crisp when Sub-Evil and I walk in together in the mornings. We’ve even seen a little frost. Hats and gloves are [...]
