When I stopped in Granchester this morning for some frosty shots I nipped down the alleyway by Jeffrey Archer's house to have a look at the statues in his garden. These geese seem to have wandered into the sunshine!
@fueast You should see the rest of it - I may post his writing room opened by Mrs T before she became PM as a treat for you one day! A lot of his garden is quite public and there are some nice sculptures to look at. Can't bring myself to buy a pot of honey from him on open day though...
@phil_howcroft I know - Mary Archer has been outside the gates giving cups of tea to journalists on more than one occasion. The gardens are amazing with the Cam running through but I tend to have my teeth grittd while admiring them!!
@judithg OK so my theory about the Monty picture is that older pictures are penalised but Rich doesn't agree with me. Another theory is that the more followers you have the more comments and favs you need. Might start gathering empirical evidence and fitting formulae. Got to be more interesting than what I am doing at the moment...
@judithg btw at least it stops you picking up more followers. I'm getting a bit overwhelmed and stressed by not being able to follow loads of peole back. It seems rude but can't spend any more time on here than I already do.
@fueast I think if you've got more followers you definitely do need more Favs - fair enough really but it's going to be very rare that I get more than 15 and I can't work out what my threshold is anyway!! I feel very stressed that I haven't even 'checked in' with new followers unless they've commented but I've had over a hundred newbies since Christmas and I'm supposed to be spending less time this year not more... I'm ending up just trying to view people who've commented and one or two others but I feel like I'm letting down some old faithfuls....victims of our own success but it's impossible to comment on 500 people a day. So as you say - more PP would be more stress and anyway it wasn't one of my best - but I'll be really sulky when I get something I REALLY like and it doesn't go on PP - childish I know but the family will be suffering!!!
Love the gnarly trees, blue foreground, sunshine & of course the bridge.
This has a fairy tale feel to me, fav. (I'll have to google Archer, I'm in the dark on that one)
Congrats on the pp!
