A place to settle and stay
This week I travelled to Wisbech in Cambridgeshire to visit a recently retired friend. We shared a flat together in London many years ago, and it was lovely to see her settled into her new, peaceful environment. My photo gallery is a brief summary of our week.
Grateful thanks, as ever, to Cate at Show My Face for hosting this space, and giving us the opportunity to share our week in six words. If you’re curious about the rules, or thinking of joining in, follow the link above, or in the header.
More of my weekly exploits can be found on my Six word Saturday page. See you next week?

What a beautiful, rich, fun and exciting week. The photos transported us to that wonderful place, all the way to the adorable duck that brings to mind childhood adventures and memories. Happy Father’s day to your hubby. The Mars Bar sounds like a delicious dessert. Thanks and have a great week!

Thank you! Wisbech is a really nice market town, and Beryl’s moved from a “not so hot” area of East London. She’s really happy there.

These restless feet don’t give me much peace. (no wonder they ache sometimes) It’s hard to resist exploring new places.

I love.. love.. that photo with the zig zagging posts out to the ocean. The lines draw ones eye along until you’re diving in the ocean! Very clever! xo Smidge

Me too Smidge. I’ve never seen the posts in that formation before and it definitely captured the eye.

Adorable duckling! Looks like a fun visit. I love the word “flat”. 🙂

He almost came home with me. Strange isn’t it? Apartment isn’t quite right for the kind of places we could afford back then.
