Summertime scavenger hunt

Today Rinda has the second link-up for her summertime photo scavenger hunt here and although I’ve not been able to do much recently I did manage to find this

 

Still plenty to find but I’m hoping a trip to London soon will help.

On our trip to Salisbury

I managed to find

The tower and spire of Salisbury Cathedral can be seen for miles

these musicians were happily singing amongst the hot Saturday shoppers

some wild boar at the zoo, they always remind me of Asterix the Gaul!

A few more photos to tick off from Rinda's Summertime photo scavenger hunt

better late than never!

Time goes by so quickly and I’ve just realised I hadn’t done my June collage so here is a flavour of the month. A 90th birthday, Father’s Day, Dickens week, a cycle ride and a vintage car display.

a weekend away

 

Last weekend we travelled to Salisbury to visit family.

We were all up very early and out for a walk in the park

this little family was very busy having breakfast

while the reason for our early stroll was happily making up for a disturbed night!

then it was back home to play and have lunch

before nanny and grandad took pity on everyone and went back out, leaving the adults to take a nap

Sunday we were off to the zoo feeling more rested and in need of the shelter the New Forest gives

daddy and Uncle Peter were even allowed a couple of minutes to play

a stop at the sandpit

and relaxing in a swing

before looking at the animals

the butterfly house was a great hit

but Mr Hedges was the star of the zoo for us

A lovely couple of days was had by all.

two more done!

I have two more photos for Rinda’s  photo hunt http://gallorganico.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/2013-summertime-photography-scavenger.html

One of the smallest theatres in the country, sadly looking a bit worse for wear at the moment

Our local Town Hall

Still looking for that cloud!

so much more

It’s the first Sunday of the month, time for Sian's Storytelling Sunday, something precious from a trip.

This ornament is precious to me in so many ways.

It tells the story of three little children waiting at the station

Who suddenly find  more members of the family arriving.

An exciting train ride

with uncles to keep them amused

 

Where are they going?

a very special trip

at Christmas

to meet some magical friends

with daddy

and Grandad to join in the fun

up high to see better

and  plenty of rides to go on

having fun can be so tiring.

and the reason?

After over three years of treatment followed by one year without, we could all finally relax a bit and learn to enjoy ourselves again.

Do go over to Sian’s blog and read more travel stories.

I’ve been scrapping!

 

It’s been a while so I had a browse, found a sketch ( sketch 22 by Shimelle ) and scrapped.

A little bit of stamping, painting and sticking is a good way to spend an afternoon.

my darling husband

I got up early this morning and cleaned the windows, 30mins later this happened. I’m surprised we’ve managed 40yrs sometimes!
