One foggy day...

This was yesterday morning.
 
 
When I arrive on the edge of Canterbury each morning, I am at the top of the ridge that forms the northern edge of the Stour river valley.  The views across the city can be great, especially when there is a bit of fog in the valley.
 
The weekend was really good, the family dinner was a wonderful get together and lots of rest was had at other times.  I even managed to finish painting my Scottish spearmen, just need to get them on their group bases now and add the grass and rocks and stuff to those.  Then I will be on to their Viking friends!
 
This week has been a lot easier than last week - the big problem was solved, largely by a newish member of staff.  I had thought that she was quite a timid character, but she dealt with our problem amazingly, taking no prisoners.  There is an old saying about having to watch the quiet ones - she certainly proves the truth behind that!
 
Hope you are having a great week!  More soon!

Nice view. Love the foggy morning pictures overlooking the countryside.

Glad to hear things have settled down. You seemed to have fallen under some sort of curse of bad luck. But I am not surprised that the new member of the staff dealt with the issue quite effectively. Remember - it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for...

Agg79 - I don't remember breaking any mirrors, and I am always careful around my friends black cat!

You live in an historical part of the world, connected with this country and yet so far away. Riding your bike to work must be good for you in so many ways. So glad the newer quiet gal cam through for you all.

Yes, the place oozes history - but most of the time we don't notice it, to be honest!

I do like my rides to work, even with the odd nutter who seems intent on squishing me!

What a fantastic view! It doesn't always have to be a sunny day to be beautiful.
Happy to hear your week has been better. Hooray for the quiet and meek!
Like Agg, I was hoping to see a pic of your "twin" brother. Surely you took at least one....

Rock Chef said...

ShadowRun300 - Hm, I don't normally post pics of other people here...

ShadowRun300 said...

Aww.. I know. But SOMETIMES you do. Perhaps a bribe of some sort. Cupcakes? Cookies? Or maybe you could just cut your hair and tattoo yourself and post that. :)

Rock Chef said...

ShadowRun300 - maybe I could photoshop myself into my brother...

What a cool photo! And I'm glad you've been recalibrated after your week of chaos. Good for the quiet one!

Love the foggy photo shot. Gorgeous. And I'm happy to hear things at work are calming down for you. YAY!

Rock Chef said...

Abby - I have never thought of a PERSON being "recalibrated". Interesting idea!

Meleah Rebeccah - Glad you like the pic - Yay!

Beautiful foggy view! The best we get around here are some brilliant sunrises and sunsets.

Glad to hear the weekend was such a success AND that you got your problems of last week all sorted out.

Great pic! Speaking of, do we get to see a pic once you've painted everyone?

Love that view across to the cathedral. You live in a lovely part of the world. I've never been to Kent.... grew up in the West Country and Kent was just too far away!
