Amazon supermarket

 

Whilst walking around a new development in the London Docklands at the weekend I across this supermarket. Many of you may have already seem them and perhaps used them. I went inside but I couldn't  buy anything as I needed to have the app  on my phone to gain entry and also to buy any of the food. I expect money will no longer be needed soon as everything will be done on a smart phone.

Summer lights


The idea of Summer Lights came during lockdown when the usual Winter Lights festival had to be cancelled due to the restrictions of the pandemic. Organisers came up with an alternative for later in the year based on sunshine rather than lights needing darkness. This is the second one held in and around Canary Wharf, Docklands. I have included the artist's explanation of their work.















 




































 As part of the Summer festival there was also this free mini golf course. I was there too early to have a go as it didn't open until the afternoon.

Nayland, Suffolk

 I am away for a week with my daughter and the two grandchildren. This was booked long ago. Had we known the 4 yr old would be in a full leg plaster cast we would not have chosen this hilly site however it is beautiful. 

The lodge we are in is the first one just through the gate. It is quite small but big enough for the four of us and has a hot tub at the back.
The farm also has a tennis court, indoor swimming pool, playground etc so lots for the children to do.
There are animals that the children can feed such as chickens, horses and pigs. They can also collect eggs from the chicken coup if they want.
There are a number of large solar panels that provide the energy used by the properties.

We are surrounded by beautiful  scenery but we are finding it very physical pushing a buggy across and up the fields and then carrying him into the lodge.
Sorry I haven't  commented this week but my phone just puts me down as anonymous and to be honest I can't  be bothered  to try and sort it at the moment.
