The Changing Seasons – July 2019
The Changing Seasons post, inspired by the lovely Sarah at Secret Art Expedition and hosted by Su at Zimmerbitch.
For some of July, it was all about the memories of living in Bangkok. I don’t usually take much notice of the memories that Arse..ahem..Facebook churns out, but I have been looking at them and sharing them more since returning home.
A lot of my most beautiful and cherished memories are of spending time with my best friend, Chris.

I spent a lovely evening out with my parents. We went for Thai food which was lovely, but they were having a Thai event on, and it was so loud we could hardly talk. After dinner, we walked along the road to a quieter bar, so we could talk over another bottle of wine.

I took a walk around Summerleys Nature Reserve near Northampton. I’d never been there before, so it was nice to go somewhere new with my camera.

One of my favourite subjects to photograph are flowers and you don’t have to go far to find some. These flowers are blooming in my parent’s back garden.

I took a trip to London to see the Van Gogh Exhibition at Tate Britain. I used to go to art galleries and exhibitions all the time in Bangkok, so I thought it was about time I started to explore what the UK has on offer.

The walk back from lunch to my office beats the Bangkok streets, it’s so green. It’s very peaceful and it’s full of wondrous nature.

My brother, his girlfriend and I had an impromptu BBQ. It hadn’t been arranged, but we decided to make the most of the gorgeous weather that we had been having.

Still catching up Gill. A lovely post – your flower photos are lovely! As is the Damselfly 🙂
And Thai food! Yum!
Thank you! I know what you mean about catching up. Don’t have as much time to dedicate to my website as before 🙁
I know. Blogging has made me so many lovely friendships and I really must make more time for both reading and writing.
Me too! 🙂 Hope you’re having a lovely weekend x
All of your pictures are beautiful Gill. I also like the Damselfly a lot but the Okapi and the flowers are gorgeous too. Looks like you had a wonderful month of July. Keep well my friend.
Thank you so much Dominique! I hope you are well too xx
I’m fine despite feeling a little low on energy. I’m working on big projects, and it is exciting, but that leaves me with almost no time to reply to comments and visit my WP friends’ blogs. That saddens me a little. They are the ones that keep me going. Keep well Gill. xx
I know, now I am working full time, going to the gym, freelance writing, I can never find time to do everything! I hope you are OK, sending positivity and energy your way. Much love xxx
Got this Gill. Thanks. Warmest thoughts to you as well my friend.
xxx 🙂 xx
Lovey month of July! The cherries look gorgeous, and the bunny is so cute. You live in a beautiful place, Gill!
Thank you Inese, it was a lovely July. I do live in a beautiful and something I never realised until I came home. I never took any notice of what beauty was around me when I lived here 🙂
Isn’t it amazing? You have to travel the world to find beauty at home.
LOL it sure is 🙂
Gill, you have that other account, right? But your avatar seems inactive, I cannot click on it…
It’s probably because I use my phone to comment a lot 🙂
Ah, and I thought I am missing something 🙂
Stunning photos! I particularly like the Damselfly – incredible colour!
Thank you so much 🙂
