The Changing Seasons – February 2019
The Changing Seasons post, inspired by the lovely Sarah at Secret Art Expedition and hosted by Su at Zimmerbitch.
The month of February started with a little snow in Northampton. As usual in this part of the world it never lasts long, but it everything looks pretty in white.
One of my photos received a Top Shot Award on Viewbug. A little boost for me at the beginning of the month! Even the small things bring joy 🙂
One Sunday in February, I just couldn’t motivate myself to work, so I spent the afternoon watching Bohemian Rhapsody with my sister-in-law. If you haven’t watched it, I recommend you do, especially if you are a fan of Queen. It’s a fabulous celebration of the life of Queen and their brilliant front man – Freddie Mercury!
Since I moved in with my brother, I’ve had to find new routes to go running. I never realised my hometown was so pretty. I try to go running 3 or 4 times a week, and one day I managed to run 10 km for the first time in ages! Another high-five to me 😉

Congratulations to the award, Gill!! So happy for you, dear! And I’m definitely planning to watch Bohemien Rhapsody soon, love Queen, and Freddy Mercury was just such an amazing artist! And kudos to you for running 10 km!! xx
Thank you! Yes, if you love Queen, you will love the movie, so many good songs and there is so much I never knew about his life 🙂 xx
Congratulations, Gill! Well deserved. The waterfall image is beautifully composed <3
You have a lovely route! Very impressed with your 10 km.
Queen fan here! 🙂 I enjoyed the movie and a group of old ladies in the cinema singing along. It was so sweet.
Have a happy weekend! xx
Thank you Inese! Yes, I am quite surprised at how lovely it is in my hometown! I never noticed when I lived here before LOL I hope you had a lovely weekend and are enjoying the same nice weather we have here at the moment! 🙂 xx
Yes, we are blessed with the weather. Hope to see new pictures soon:) xx
That gorgeous weather has taken a back seat again! 🙂 x
Ah, I know 🙂 We just got through the Hannah – still windy but the sky is blue.
The blue sky is beautiful! 🙂 x
Congratulations for your award, Gil. It is indeed a beautiful photo! Love Queen and yes I have seen Bohemian Rhapsody. Enjoyed it a lot too. Here, the snow stays way too long. And believe it or not we got more snow yesterday… But the good part is that our sky is almost always bright blue. No vitamin D deficiency. Keep well.
Thank you Dominique! Wow, snow in April! We are enjoying a bit of a heat wave here in the UK -it’s nice not to be wearing 5 layers of clothing since I am used to the Thai heat! Blue skies are awesome, not to mention beautiful! Have a fab week 🙂 xx
It’s been raining a lot in the past few days so the snow melted now. Finally beginning to look like Spring. Thankfully, we have blue skies all year long here. It makes Winter more pleasant. Have a great week too, Gil.
xoxo
Our lovely weather has turned chilly again, the sun never stays very long here LOL 🙂 x
Darren told me about it. The weather is the same around here, but a bit cooler.
🙂 Have a fab weekend x
Congratulations on your recognition! I often find small moments hold far more importance in my memory as well.
Thank you so much.. Yes indeed, even the smallest of wins should be celebrated. Have a fab weekend 🙂
Gill, congratulations on the accolade for your photo from Bluff … it is stunning! Ahh… at least you got some snow and it looks so pretty. As for the film, it is superb and I saw it on the recommendation of my son! I came out crying and you could feel the emotion in the cinema!
Thank you Annika! It is a brilliant film and I learned a few things about Freddie that I never knew before. Rami Malik did a brilliant portrayal of him!
Love Queen and haven’t seen Bohemian Rhapsody yet, but I cannot watch it dubbed in Italian when it arrives here! 😉
No, you can’t! it’s too good to watch dubbed 🙂 x
To be honest, I can’t watch any film dubbed. I don’t mind watching foreign films in their own language with English sub-titles. x
No it’s very annoying! I quite like films with subtitles too x The Swedish and Danish ones, The Bridge and Borgen are good 🙂
Haven’t seen those ones and will keep an eye out for them.
Weird I had to return to your page as it said my comment didn’t send from my Dashboard.
Weird! Technology!! 🙂 x
Congrats on the ViewBug award; it is a lovely shot. Thanks for joining the Changing Seasons. I didn’t get a ping-back, but I can add you to the March update if you like. Cheers, Su.
Thank you Su! I have been doing the Changing Seasons for almost a year LOL and link to your page every time. That’s all I have to do right?? Yeah, that would be awesome if you could add me.. Thank you. Have a fab day xx
How bizarre. I have never seen your posts come up in my feed. Maybe you have to link to my Changing Seasons posts, not just my blog.
It is bizarre. I do link to your Changing Season posts, so don’t know why either 😉 Not to worry 🙂 x
That is really strange.
