I've received a few messages asking to continue the 1000 words thread. It has obviously given many people pleasure and some positivity. For anyone who doesn't know, posters come on with their photographs of pretty much anything and we take it from there. Nature is always a good one.

A fat hedgehog drinking from the birdbath.

Sorry, I forgot to attach the photo.

I visited a terminally ill relative on Sunday. These beautiful Iris are growing in his pond.

As I can't get to France this year, I've made France come to me.

I remember my great- aunt, born in the 1880s, showing me how to make poppy dolls in the 1950s, with poppies from her garden.

Super carrot. Will it be eaten? I loved Peter Rabbit One. My grandson recently saw Peter Rabbit Two. He loved it.

This is part of a garden where we had tea and cake on Friday - I wish it was mine!

Ellianne Sun 06-Jun-21 09:30:01

My granddaughter grew this! She was worried Peter Rabbit might eat it.
(Good film by the way.)

How lovely Aldom. It is soo cold here today, hugging the fire and it is getting dark already, not even 5 p.m.

Iris, in the restaurant area of the Westgate, Oxford. A stunning sight.

Ellianne and Aldom I always come to this thread via "Active" but it had slipped off the bottom and I was trying to remember which forum it was in. I finally came back to it via "I'm on" and that's when I noticed it was under "Games".

As people had been complaining (again) recently about the games threads filling up the "active" list, I wondered if they had actually arranged for them to be automatically removed from it.

It would have surprised me if they had done that - there are far more pressing matters to be tended to first.

Elliane I find 1,000 words via Active, in Chat. Not ever in Games.

It's sorted now. GN returned it to its rightful category. No idea why it got moved!

Aldom Sat 05-Jun-21 13:09:25

My first clematis flower. They are all late this year.

May 7 The hidden waterfall photo looks so peaceful. Heaven on earth.
Jacky B I love the poppy doll. Never seen one before. Pure enchantment for a small child.

Ellianne Sat 05-Jun-21 11:29:53

What? No way.
This isn't a game, it's serious stuff, people taking the time to photograph things to share with others.
Thanks JackyB very observant of you. I will report it.
And I love the little poppy doll!

JackyB Sat 05-Jun-21 11:19:57

I have just realised that this thread is in the "games" forum. I can't see it in "Active discussions" although I posted much later than the last post on the oldest thread in that list. Have they now arranged for the Games" threads to be hidden automatically after all the protests?

JackyB Sat 05-Jun-21 11:01:59

Ijustbshowe my DGS how to make a poppy doll. He was enchanted and has now been playing with it for at least 10 minutes!

A pink popped up amongst the pink.

Beautiful photos everyone, I do enjoy seeing them all. I’d been wondering why no irises had flowered in my garden this year. They’re one of my favourites, they remind me of my mum who loved them. Then up popped this one in an unexpected spot. Gardens are always full of surprises!

We came across a hidden waterfall in North Wales today.
