Allotments

When Mrs WW first saw allotments in he UK she thought they were where the poor people lived. It's understandable I suppose as a British allotment would be luxury accommodation in many parts of the world.
 
Breakfast, on a lovely sunny day...

Poor Squirrel ! Where are you Immo ? Red Squirrels are a rare thing here in the UK . The Grey Squirrel has invaded.

Todays adventure ! A failed attempt at fixing these ! I took them apart cleaned all the lenses inside and out + the prisms ( not sure if that's what there called). The left side is out of focus compared to the right but looking at the adjuster on the top it seems bent so is not pulling /pushing the lenses evenly. Worth a try though !

Hi, I am in Germany, near Mainz (50km from Frankfurt). Squirrels are red here, but some are a little dark ...

I feel sorry for the squirrel, too, but these things happen to wild animals, unfortunately ---
 
I have some Boots Admiral binoculars I've had since I was about 10. They still work perfectly, look good and haven't gone sticky.
 
I hope so too.

I took some squirrel pictures once and it wasn't until I pixel peeped that I spotted that he had one cloudy eye. Cataracts maybe. That didn't seem to stop him enjoying the monkey nuts I'd brought though.
 
Hi, the squirrel had his breakfast, as usual :

Caution! In the grey VW van on the right is radar equipment of a police speed trap. In a 30km/h zone speed violations are expensive! ... :

We once had lunch and tea in our caravan on an Autobahn....Not as tasteful...more than a few ladies were pleased that we had a toilet!
