Remembering a visit to a one-day Christmas market

Remembering a visit to a one-day Christmas market on the main streets of a small town in rural England: Haslemere, Surrey. Loved these garlands of oranges and spices.⁠

Came across this photo when looking through some old vacation pictures and it seemed fitting to share on the last day of daylight saving time in 2021. Here my husband and a friend are checking their watches against the sundial in London's Temple Gardens. They were an hour out. The sundial was on standard time. They were on daylight saving time.⁠

Had a great lunch today at James Ave. Pumphouse in the Exchange District in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The restaurant is housed in a building that was built in 1906 as a pumping station to help combat fires in downtown Winnipeg. It used a high-pressure water system to pull water from the Red River and distribute it to dozens of fire hydrants in the area. It was a modern engineering feat at the time. After being empty for decades, the pumping station has been converted into a mixed-use facility. The original pumping machinery is enclosed in glass and is visible from the restaurant.
