Dear Lady Nancy, one must learn the basics! You do not spell colour without a U in it! Neither my dear lady, should you pronounce OREGANO wrong, as most sadly you do.
One knows it is a steep learning curve; as your nation destroyed the English language.
Apart from that my dear, I look forward to seeing you; and of course train you in English, as it should be spoken; the Queens English and no less.
Fish & Chips not french fries my dear lady. We make proper chips!
My ENGLISH LAMB was most gorgeous, one should try it, at sometime?
My most kindest regards.
Neil.
p.s. I got a master award on my microbadge thing.

Neil, I don't understan you PS.

Too bad that the English have all these extra letters floating around & they have to find a place for them and stick them anywhere.
Roast beef & yorkshire pudding is our Christmas dinner.

Dear Lucy, you put E's on the end of things. Is that not an extra letter? Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding is often eaten for Christmas dinner but our national dish is of course Goose for Christmas.
Regards.
Neil.

I remember goose as a child. With just the 2 of us we eat duckling for thanksgiving.

Dear all, I know I have been missing and very busy indeed! Mother & Father are not well; so I have been sorting things out for them. Then i got unwell, plus troubles at home.
But at least I am back now.
Lady Nancy I have missed you; and indeed may one say all pf you.
Simply shaken not stirred.
Love to all.
Neil.

Get better yourself as well.

Some pics I got today!
Hope you are all well?
Love.
Neil.



A lot of Sweet Chestnuts at Greenwich park!

Fallow deer? Our leaves are rapidly turning color.

Beautiful pictures, Neil. I'm glad to see that you are out and about. Or are you cheating with last year's photos?
Hugs

Lady Nancy

Dear Lady Nancy, I am not cheating with anything at all. We went to Greenwich on Thursday and I have put some plants on ATP's Database!
This Picea breweriana or the brewers spruce is fantastic and they did not have a picture of one on the Database. Please do not associate this with brewers droop, that is too much to drink for men!

Then we went to see the Cutty Sark as she has been restored after the poor ship burnt down in a fire; she is beautiful!

Sarah decided to go on a River cruise with me, and here is the Cutty Sark from the river boat, in the evening sun!

This is on the boat from Tower Bridge Pier. Tower Bridge is in front and the Shard which is the tallest and most ugly building in Europe in the background.

H.M.S Belfast Front and rear with the Camera set on low light!


All these pictures were taken through the glass windows of the boat! The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben from the Tate Gallery bridge!

A closer night view of The House of commons and Big Ben from the river.

Most sorry about the glare on the glass. H.M.S. Belfast and Tower Bridge at night with the camera set on low light, as it was dark.

Underneath Tower Bridge at night!


Love to all.
Neil.

I had not heard of the Cutty Sark fire. glad that it could be restored.

Thanks for not letting me get confused, Neil.

Lady Nancy

All the photos are great. especially House of Common and Big Ben....

Some more photos from Greenwich!

Neil.

Everything seems in great shape.

A lovely picture of a bit of a sweet chestnut at Greenwich!
I so hope you are all well?
Love.
Neil.
p.s. A storm is coming in and it is supposed to be bad here tomorrow.

Thank you Neil for all the lovely pictures . I´m recovering from a bad cold and asthma attack, but I consider myself lucky that I didn´t get pneumonia with it .
How are your tree ferns doing? I hope they survived and did well this summer . I´m always thinking of some new tree seeds to try up here in cold Iceland. A few days ago I read an article about Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) which is said to be hardier than the European chestnut. I think I´m going to order some seeds from England to try .
Stay inside and keep warm

Chinese chestnuts were planted in the USA, after the blight years ago did in the American chestnuts.

Some pictures before and I hope not, the wind strips everything!
Regards.
Neil.


Some passion flowers and one emerging in October and someone asked about my tree ferns. They are well as you can see.
