Photo Scavenger Hunt

First of all welcome to my new follower Trish - we go back to infant school days and have just 'found each other' again after over fifty years and have lots of catching up to do..

I have just joined the new Photo Scavenger Hunt organised by Greenthumb and here are January's photos. I normally post recently taken photos but due to illness and the snowy weather, I'm afraid some are older this time.

Cold
After a long climb up to school one morning grandson L and I were freezing
as we walked through the churchyard


Warm
 you can't beat a good old fashioned hot water bottle on cold, wintry nights



Sign
on a nature trail in Danbury Common last year



Food
This is Auntie Rosa's Chicken crunch which I showed you last summer here



Twelve
self explanatory


Produce
French markets always have an abundance of wonderfully fresh produce





Blue
taken at Heybridge Basin near Maldon last summer

Mailbox



A view
from the ramparts of the medieval castle at Carcassonne last year


Reflection
taken on Thundersley Common the day before our snow arrived in January



  
Statue
our local town of Hadleigh hosted the 2013 Olympic mountain biking event and this was put up
to celebrate the occasion



Door
at one of the cottages at Windsor Castle where we went for lunch in the dungeons last year



Many thanks to Greenthumb for organising this and can't wait to get stuck into February's list.


I'm going in to have some minor eye surgery tomorrow on both eyes but  hopefully this will be the conclusion of my last two years of eye problems and hope to be functioning again very soon.

See you soon

  26. I am caught up with all your posts. I try to go to all my bloggy friends who comment on my blog and see their posts and that takes some time if I am also traveling. I answered your comment about cameras in my post and in my current post I answered again and with examples.

    I really enjoyed reading about your Granny Smith – it’s great that you could find out so much. I also wrote a couple of posts on my grandparents and my mother’s childhood. I need to write more of them. It is amazing how one can remember past events when they were traumatic – and being in a flood certainly must have been quite a trauma for you and your family. The black and white photos gave a good impression of the flood. Your color photos are lovely. All my best wishes for a quick recovery with your eye surgery.
