They say a picture paints a thousand words and there have been some lovely photos on GN recently. I am a visual person and, especially at this time, pictures cheer me up. Autumn scenes, people's gardens, cake baking, craftwork, pets, clothes we fancy buying etc. Even stock images of Boris, royalty etc.
What is the general feeling? Are they superfluous or do they add another dimension? Are we "allowed" to just drop them into a non photographic thread?

Stunning photos. Now more than ever we need a bit of cheer and nature will provide.

Ellianne Sat 31-Oct-20 09:53:28

PS ... as will all indoor hobbies, cooking, pets, photos past etc etc. We can keep this visual thread up for a few more weeks!

My wallpaper has just arrived! Very jungle like!!

Beechnut your Halloween decoration is adorable ?.
Are you expecting trick or treat’ers?

Puzzler61 Sat 31-Oct-20 16:10:58

That will look fab-u-lous when hung Ellianne .
Have I missed you saying which room it’s for?

Ellianne Sat 31-Oct-20 16:13:33

It's for the snug Puzzler accompanied by some very wacky chairs. A bit "out there" as my son would say!

Puzzler61 Sat 31-Oct-20 16:26:50

I love large patterns - and plants even printed ones - give me a sense of well-being. I hope you get that on the wall soon and enjoy it ?

Beechnut Sat 31-Oct-20 16:42:26

Thank you Puzzler. I’m not expecting any trick&treaters.

Another fan of your wallpaper Elliane

Tell us more about the amazing spider jumper and hat!
Did you make it? Who is it for?
I’ve never seen anything like it, just superb.

Namsnanny Sat 31-Oct-20 19:27:52

A doorway to add to the collection. Barcelona.

Namsnanny Sat 31-Oct-20 19:38:14

Oh Thank you Puzzler61 What a nice thing to say. smile
I made them for my GS's then 2ish and 4ish.

I couldn't find a nice pattern so I adapted one by embroidering the cobweb, and making small pompoms for spiders and a big pompom for the spider on the hat!

To be honest the photo shows it in its best light - it was a bit homespun in reality blush.

Puzzler61 Sat 31-Oct-20 21:36:50

Those 2 little GC would have looked gorgeous. You are very creative, they’re really impressive. ? ?

Namsnanny Sat 31-Oct-20 23:36:38

Thanks again Puzzler61 smile

But they didnt get to wear them, their parents didnt really take to them! confused

This sight greeted us as we left Waitrose earlier this week.

Kamiso Sat 31-Oct-20 23:58:48

My first double rainbow.

Puzzler61 Sun 01-Nov-20 07:44:33

Oh that’s ungrateful, you put so much heart into it and no other children could have copied your GS’s.
Miserable parents - always spoiling children’s fun ?

Namsnanny Sun 01-Nov-20 12:24:17

Well their children their rules! smile
I cant deny that I was disappointed, but I had fun making it, and you appreciated it so ...grin

Namsnanny Sun 01-Nov-20 12:25:22

kamiso I love rainbow photos and yours is a good one!

A corner of our garden

Can’t post it for obvious reasons, but dd sent me a lovely one last night of 2 elder Gdcs, 4 and 5, curled up asleep together in bed like two puppies - still with their Halloween face paint on since were too exhausted with all the excitement to wash it off before bed!

Oh, @Namsnanny, my Gdcs would adore jumpers and hats like that! Maybe next year...

Ellianne Sun 01-Nov-20 13:43:38

Witzend what a photo for you to treasure! Shame puppies and children have to grow up!
