The last few days of the scavenger hunt

Two more pictures for the Blue brads Winter Photograph Hunt.

I will try and get one or two more before the 20th but most of the ones left need frost or snow and we are short of that here this year.

21. A Winter Pudding

A fruit crumble with flaked almonds sprinkled on top

6. Ladies dancing

A festival in the village in Italy where we stayed last year.

They were entertaining people at the hog roast

March 2nd

Some more Scavenger Hunt

and news

1. Frozen

Our little great grand daughter in her frozen T shirt

on her brothers 2nd birthday.

and we had to have a photo of brother in his Thomas T shirt

15. A chimney smoking

Not a very good picture but it was the only one we saw when travelling 31/2 hours to daughters

I blame smokeless fuel.

Playing Monopoly

7. A squirrel, hopping

This is a card I bought made by a photographer called Anne Riddick

Stuarts 70th birthday party

We went down to Derby to help Stuart, Rolands brother in law, celebrate his birthday

I finally finished my bag and I'm rather pleased with it

More scavenger hunt photos

I've not done a great deal this weekend except to look for photos for the scavenger hunt and a bit of decluttering

25. A House Number the same as my Birthday

I know an area in Preston where the doors are rather nice so we went hunting for my door number on one.

It was surprising how many streets didn't have enough houses to get to number 20, but we found one at last.

24. A hand addressed letter

I have sent off to Be-ro for 2 new baking books 1 for one of the grand daughters and another for my friend Borqna in Bulgaria. She loves cooking and I thought she might like to try a bit of British baking.

26. Fallen leaves Rustling

These leaves aren't very rustly any more they've been on the ground too long

These were outside our oldest daughters new flat

Last but not least

and not for the scavenger hunt.

I just had to take more photos of these delicate crocuses

We have had them for many years and I don't remember when I last saw them opened like this because it usually rains on them and destroys them before they have opened out.

I think they are beautiful.

Friday 13th February

I never thought my dad was really superstitious but he hated Friday the 13th probably because when he turned his car over many years ago it was on Friday 13th. I'm not sure what month it was but it was the Winter because he skidded on ice and ended up on the roof. I think he was lucky because he got out of the car with only bruises - the car was a right off.

I thought I would take these photos today as it has started to rain and these delicate crocuses are damaged by the rain every year.
