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.

The view from the bathroom window this morning

A “mackerel” sky I think it’s called, from the end of last summer.

Crocuses and little daffs coming now. Glad you’re ok, Ellianne

Ellianne Fri 05-Feb-21 12:57:42

Thank you GN photo friends, so kind.

This was taken a few months ago when we were allowed to have GC visit. All the little ones have loved playing with this (very dated looking) dolls house, I laughed at the four year old’s set up.

I hope you can zoom in to have a look at the room on the bottom left. grin

Dont worry about spelling LauraNorder a convivial reply makes up for everything!! smile
Yes, it's funny but I do worry about people on here too.

LauraNorder Fri 05-Feb-21 12:45:18

Namsnanny, sorry, trying to type too fast, missed a letter.

LauraNorder Fri 05-Feb-21 12:44:04

Glad you’ve seen her around nams anny. I often cross her path on other threads but noticed not for a while that’s why I came here because I know it’s her photo lab smile.
Rules about mentioning others should apply if gossiping but hopefully not when checking that others are okay, especially when we have a pandemic.

Namsnanny Fri 05-Feb-21 12:08:49

I did see her on a other thread LauraNorder recently, but not on here for a while.
Ooops! I'm talking about someone in the third person, is that ok?

LauraNorder Thu 04-Feb-21 22:27:29

Ellianne not seen you about for a week or so. Are you okay?

Namsnanny Thu 04-Feb-21 22:23:15

Lovely photos of the ponies Ashcombe. One mare looks very pregnant, and the foals are so sweet!

Namsnanny Thu 04-Feb-21 22:20:37

Apple blossom Amaryllis.
They're so tall and majestic, and the flowers are very exotic, but my camera (phone) doesnt take clear enough photos up close.

One of you talented painters out there would to a wonderful job of capturing their beauty I'm sure.

BTW where is everyone, gone on strike?? smile

Yes, my jugs are very useful, Namsnanny grin

Namsnanny Sat 30-Jan-21 14:30:33

Beautiful moorish architecture as well, isnt there lisagran?
I see your jugs are still doing a Stirling job - holding the necks of the Hellibours straight, so we can look into their faces I mean!!

Memories of Dartmoor last summer.

Aww thanks for the kind words re crochet, Callistemon and Namsnanny.

I’m really enjoying all the pix. Lovely to linger over such joys.

Lisagran Sat 30-Jan-21 12:39:54

Hellebores coming out now.....

Lisagran Fri 29-Jan-21 16:58:39

Went to Seville a couple of years ago, Namsnanny - glorious smell of orange and lemon trees everywhere!

Namsnanny Fri 29-Jan-21 16:44:14

Wild crocuses in our local park

FannyCornforth Fri 29-Jan-21 04:25:43

Riverwalk thank you for those photos. Rossetti's house is fabulous.
You are so fortunate to live so near to such places.
Jan Mary Stevens' was instantly recognisable! Both the bandstand and the pond.

DanniRae Thu 28-Jan-21 17:16:04

Sorry I am yet to learn how to add photos but if I could I would be adding some of the first crocus' that I saw in my local park this morning. What a happy sight smile

dustyangel Thu 28-Jan-21 16:57:56

Lemon tree this morning.
