The Changing Seasons – May to August 2023

More than half-way through the year and 4 months on since the last Changing Seasons post, it always amazes me how time flies. Here’s a quick snippet of the things I’ve gotten up to since May.

May

We’ll start with a splash of colour on my daily lunch-time walk with this lovely cherry blossom.

I went to the theatre with a work colleague to see Wuthering Heights at the Royal & Derngate theatre. This performance was in the original theatre – it’s beautiful! I loved it so much, I went again on my own to see another show on another Saturday afternoon in May.

We had a team celebration at work one weekend and it also happened to be my mum’s birthday, so we went together.

A shoot from my money tree fell off the main plant, so I just stuck it in the soil and it continued to grow (it still is).

June

A new recipe – Tahini and Citrus Kebabs – delicious!

I finished another painting – the colours are bright and fabulous.

July

My July was fairly busy, not the norm in my life, but what fun it was. I had a day out at a concert with my brothers and sisters.

A trip to Nottingham to meet up with a couple of friends who I used to teach with in Bangkok. We found a fantastic Thai street-food restaurant with tuk tuks and Thai signs. We loved it and it brought back some good memories.

Teddy came to stay while my sister and niece went on holiday. He enjoyed his Pilates session a lot.

My mum and I enjoyed some more Hilton hospitality with dinner and drinks.

August

After months of feeling unwell and not feeling able to workout, I finally started a new exercise journey and it’s going well. I am enjoying being back in the gym.

The Changing Seasons is hosted by Ju-Lyn at Touring my Backyard, and Brian and Bushboys World

About The Changing Seasons

The Changing Seasons is a monthly project where bloggers around the world share their thoughts and feelings about the month just gone. We all approach this slightly differently — though generally with an emphasis on the photos we’ve taken during the month.

For many of us, looking back over these photos provides the structure and narrative of our post, so each month is different. Some focus on documenting the changes in a particular project — such as a garden, an art or craft project, or a photographic diary of a familiar landscape.

But in the end, it is your changing season, and you should approach it however works for you.

There are no fixed rules around post length or photo number — just a request that you respect your readers’ time and engagement.

Tag your photos with #MonthlyPhotoChallenge and #TheChangingSeasons so that others can find them.
