Two weeks of rain and two days of fog makes your photo of the sunshine look like a breath of fresh air.

You lasy town tea stands up and looks so nice as we are so used to seeing meat and veggie pies served in there baking dish.

That Indian spiced chicken wrap look soooo tasty and the colors are wonderful.

The street shot is so pretty in its own way, know a lot of people don’t like winter but I think winter has as much beauty as summer.

Oh Steve that pork steak photo is amazingly pretty and yummy! You really out did yourself with that photo, hope it was posted to a recipe so that maybe it will make page one.

Steve - I have a question - when you say "tea time" what time of day is that? I see you use that phrase often to describe your meals, and was always wondering what time of day that is for you.

Oh, and BTW - great pictures as usual. I am always amazed at your work. You put a lot of time and effort into it, and it shows. Me, I'm not so patient to do so much. By the time supper/dinner is ready, I'm sometimes in no mood to monkey around with staging and taking a picture, I just want to eat. LOL If I'm trying a new recipe from here, then I will put a little time and effort into putting a nice picture to the recipe with a review. But, mostly it is a time thing.

ok here goes.. do your best to keep up as this might get complicated...lol

First off, you must realise that I live in the North of England... where Summer is when the rain is a bit warmer..(well not far off lol)... so people going out to work all day wouldn't be waiting until 8pm at night to eat a meal... they would want something hot when they got in....

Breakfast - first meal of the day, eaten between getting up and lets say 9:30am - toast, cereal, boiled eggs, beans on toast, bacon butty type things.

Brunch - not always eaten every day and would tend to replace breakfast and the midday meal, eaten around 11am usually done on a Sunday when everyone is off school/work and you have time to go that bit further.. a big cooked meal with "bacon, eggs, sausages, beans, fried bread, tomatoes, blackpudding, toast, mushrooms" and many variations along that line. Usually you wouldn't eat again until the end of the day if you had done this.

Dinner time - Middle of the day , this is a bit of an odd thing... why ?.. Well because if its at home and a cooked meal we tend to call it "dinner" but if you take something to work you tend to call it "lunch" (as in a packed lunch.. which very locally in our house would be called your "bait")... so this could be a big cooked meal (after a small breakfast remember, not a brunch)... or could be sandwiches, pasta and chicken, fruit,salads etc at work..

Tea time - the evening meal but it would tend to be around 4:30 to 6pm for most people... as the children finish school starving and mum and dad finish work.... again a cooked meal...sometimes sandwiches and soup.. sometimes a salad etc...

Supper time - sometimes but not always you might get a big hungry later on... so around 8-10pm you might have a light sandwich, a packet of crisps, a slice of toast... etc..(not really a meal just sometimes you are starving..)

Takeaway time - if you happen to be of an age where you go out drinking the night away.... any time from 10pm till the very early hours might find you in the takeaway ordering anything from fried chicken to curries or kebabs....

Meals tend to vary, a big breakfast means you wouldn't be hungry in the middle of the day so might have a much lighter meal etc.. etc..etc...

oh and not everyone in the UK follows these same times and meal names.. some call the evening meal "dinner" and other have it later in the evening...

hope this helps..
