Fleur (@Fleura) on myLot

My travel friend makes fun of me that I carry my big cross-body purse on trips, but I sometimes need things and it has a side pocket for a bottle of water. But I'm going to try to learn how to carry a smaller purse on...

Fleur I have a little back-pack that comes everywhere with me. Here's a picture I took of the old one. I liked it so much I bought two more and am working my way through them. You would be amazed at what I have in there!

I have never understood train spotters and rail enthusiasts. Trains are really not that different to buses, and yes I know there are bus spotters out there too but I certainly never understood them either! I’ve been on diesel...

Fleur They haven't been in regular use here since before I was born, they were replaced by diesel powered engines in the 1950s, but some enthusiasts keep a few engines running on some special railways, just for tourists.

This is what came up in the garden plot where I had tomatoes growing last year. They're pretty, and delicate looking, but I don't know how or from where they came. The weirdest things just pop up in my gardens.

Fleur @BarBaraPrz If they are, then at least they have shallow roots and are easy to remove.

Today, I was driving around the sharp curve, that passes by the river. There was a snapping turtle that peered out of the water. We consider turtles to be slow. This snapper popped its head out of the water, startling two...

Fleur I had heard of snapping turtles but never seen one when one day I saw a turtle in the road, struggling to climb the curb (this was in the US, we don't get turtles here except when people release their pets). I thought I would help it and went to pick it up - I...

We don’t go to the seaside all that often, because it’s at the very least two hours’ drive from here, and when we do go the closest places have sandy beaches, so there was a lot of excitement this week when we were in part of the...

Many of you may have noticed that I have not been on MyLot for quite a while. The reason was because my husband was very sick and has now died. I simply did not have the time for MyLot. Since his death, I have been buried with...

Fleur about the pegs. It's funny what pops into the mind isn't it? Hermit crabs are really cute. They can grow quite big but we don't see the big ones often of course, at least not on the shore or in shallow water. I still remember years ago when Big...
