The Rocket

 I have just seen Ronnie 'The Rocket' O'Sullivan play some incredible snooker in the semifinal of the Northern Ireland Open today. From 3-1 down, he had won 5 games in a row to beat Ali Carter 6-3 to advance to the final of this snooker tournament. It was a pleasure to see him play. He can play either right-handed or left-handed and plays at a fast pace. What an amazing snooker player.       

Malvern Hills

 A view of the Malvern Hills on a bright sunny morning in November. The Malvern Hills continue to inspire me in different ways. I am glad that these hills are right at my doorstep. There are lots to be thankful for during these difficult times.       

An English Autumn part 2

 More lovely autumn scenery. These pictures were taken in a nature reserve in Worcestershire. The name of the reserve is Knapp and Papermill Nature Reserve which is owned by the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust.We only spent 40 minutes in this reserve because it has started to rain. We will come back here someday.    

An English Autumn

 I really love the autumn season in England. It is nice to see the leaves turn yellow and red from the usual green. These pictures were taken in Gheluvelt Park in Worcester on November 8th 2020. It was Remembrance Sunday. We visited the memorial in the park and learnt the significance of the battle of Gheluvelt in Belgium during the First World War. It was a key battle which contributed to the Allies victory. Today is Armistice Day which commemorates the end of fighting in the First World War. The date that World War 1 ended was on 11th November 1918. On this day in 1918 at 11am all fighting ceased. On Armistice Day a two minute silence is observed throughout the country to remember those who have sacrificed their lives for the country during the war.
