Saturday 15th was the date chosen for April's photo an hour. We'd been on holiday in North Wales for the Easter break and that day we were travelling back home to the South West.
Here's what the day looked like...

10 years ago, eh? Back in the era when blogging was "a big thing". The very first post on this space was published on 24th March 2013.
It kinda feels like the blogging world has moved onto Instagram and that's okay. It has its faults (chronological order, anyone?) but overall, I think Instagram's alright. I've been saying for ages though I'd like to learn more about how to use Stories and how to use Reels. Even if I never actually use them, I like learning new stuff. Need to make a mental note to have a Google and find out how to use them properly (maybe at some point before an '11 years' post?). Anyway, I suppose I should also "drop" my Instagram links while we're on the subject.

I'm still here on this 'ere blogging space too, albeit posting very very occasionally (and even then, it's mostly photo an hour round-ups).
But what's changed in 10 years though?
I would hope the next decade would be less eventful but you know, famous last words and all that.
March's photo an hour date took place on Saturday 18th. We mostly did things around the house, a bit of baking, collected our Tesco shopping order and the major achivement of the day - having a shower completely by myself, no help required (3 weeks and 5 days after my surgery!). Looking at the grid of photos below, it also seems like it was a day of circles! :-D
Saturday 18th was February's photo an hour date. It was the last weekend before my kidney surgery operation, which took place on Monday 20th. The consultants said it's always a good idea to increase your fitness level before surgery so we decided to pop over to a local town (Frome) and take a wander, finding some geocaches and playgrounds. It was also market day in town so we managed to pick up some yummy chocolate brownies from one of the stalls.
Not entirely sure how we're in February already but here we are. I've seen some daffodils and snowdrops and I'm writing this in the sunshine so fingers crossed spring is on its way :-)
A lot seems to have happened in the last few months!
The first photo an hour for 2023 took place on Saturday 21st January. The Small Person had requested a couple of birthday day trips and that Saturday was the first one. She had chosen to go to Teignmouth in Devon because she really wanted to play Jurassic Adventure Golf on the seafront :-D
The last photo an hour of 2022 (where did that year go!?) took place on Saturday 17th December. It was a rather chilly day with a mystery Christmas trip to see Father Christmas...
