Roses
Is there anyone that doesn't like roses in the garden? All taken today, May 27th 2026, in our back garden, with the Nikon D50.

Temu Screen Cover
Yes, it's wrinkled a bit, but in my defence it was windy. It barely fits the Ducato windscreen. The top has two small flaps that are trapped in the door. They are too short. The elastics in the mirrors are better.
Charlie Bigham's Stir Fry
Lunch today. Not really Slimming World friendly at 11½ swips each. They were on offer at Tesco. Down to £3.85. So I bought two. Anyway. Easy to cook. Tasted really nice.
SP26 - Another booking
I had an email from Sandaya to remind me that I had some loyalty points to use when making a next booking. I was thinking more about the midpoint of the trip when we started to move north or at least east to get away from Spain and into France. I looked on the site and some of them allowed the use of the points and others didn't. In the end I wanted a good few days where after travelling we could have a longer stay to sit and do nothing. I found a site near the Mediterranean that allowed me four free nights using my loyalty points. It's called Blue Bayou . I decided on five nights. We can't get in until 3pm on the first day and so it gives us time to come up from Spain and across the border. We have a week to come across from Oyambre and we can take in a few historical sites as well as a run through the Picos.... ...
The Roses...
It's late May and the Garden roses, especially the climbing (or rambling) rose is heavy with flowers and buds. These were taken this morning before the sun was too high. These were taken with the Canon 1100D with the kit 18-55mm lens. A quick change of camera to the Nikon D50. There's about a decade between their manufacture. The Nikon D50 is using the Nikkor AF 28-100mm lens. For a twenty year old camera it still takes decent enough photos.
The Samosa was lovely.
This is an AI manipulated photo. Can you guess which part? It looks like the lamb Samosa.
Broken Into....
The YouTube video I referred to in the Pro-Plates blog is this one from Amanda & Mark from earlier this year in Spain. It doesn't matter if you are in the van, the scumbags will try and get in. You can skim through if you like to about 13.09 minutes. Amanda & Mark Broken Into Vlog.
