Sue Quattrucci – Out and About in Essex woodlands


Jeff Hooker – Out and About at St. Pauls Cathedral, London

The Whispering Gallery is open again albeit now with a safety cage to prevent 'jumpers'.  The visit was cut short when the fire alarms went off and all the visitors were hurriedly removed.  I was lucky to have seen most of the various galleries, so I did not wait to return.


Lyn and Alan Aldridge – Out and About in Grenada

A wonderful Caribbean island with miles of sandy beaches, extensive wildlife and a riot of flower colours.  We met a wonderful lady who has 5 acres of flowers on the side of a mountain (about 45 degrees!).  Many blooms are grown and displayed for the Grenadian exhibit at the Chelsea Flower Show, which last year won its 18th Gold Medal.


Jeff Hooker – Out and About in Hanningfield

Full Bluebell display NOW (mid-April 2026).
