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

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

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
Lovely photos Patricia. Hope the eye surgery goes well for you.

An Essex girl like me? I live the other end of the county, but nice to see photos of places I hear about but have never visited.
ReplyDeleteHope all went well with your operation.x
Beautiful photos! I see that it wasn't just me who was ill and had trouble finding photos! Good luck with your eye surgery!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
