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.

Here is an echidna we saw on Thursday near Inverloch in Australia. He let us get right up close and personal.

nanna8 Sun 06-Mar-22 21:59:26

He didn’t come out- here he is

He's being very shy nanna8.

That yellow and blue landscape is prizeworthy Josieann.

Here is a photo my DiL sent me a while back of my DGS aged about 19 months, doing the cryptic crossword. You can tell his parents are academics!

Last try !

That's cute JackyB. My DGS would be busy taking doors off with the screwdriver on that table!

That's a shame nanna. I had a problem loading photos once. GNHQ helped me out. We will have to imagine yours!

On my walk today I saw these snowdrops amongst the brambles.
And the river I was walking beside.

High water at Ladybower in the Peak District last week.

Any Doc Martin fans? They were filming in Port Isaac today. You can just see the bumbling policeman outside the chemist.

Last night’s moon.

Josieann We saw them filming Doc Martin in Port Isaac a few years ago. It was fascinating. We had no idea it was filmed there. Martin Clunes was lovely, posing for photos and chatting to people.
On the Friday night, a group singing sea shanties set up in the beach. We saw them on TV a couple of years later. They were The Fisherman's Friends. What a lovely holiday.

Josieann where are you?

I think that she has left GN sad

A view through the bridge on my evening walk.

My nephew's beautiful ginger cat. His stripes line up perfectly on both legs when he stand up.

Blossom in the orchard at Grantchester and the church used in the tv series.

Ooo great. I thought the thread had run its course, but life continues to show us beauty all around. An inevitable one from me taken yesterday.

I love our little cherry tree. It looks like it is full of little snowballs.

Joseanne Sun 01-May-22 12:22:24

Bristol cathedral today.

Kate1949 Sun 01-May-22 13:24:55

On my walk a couple of weeks ago.

I stumbled across here today in Cornwall.

Might be difficult to see .... John Betjeman.

Some crochet squares I've been making for another grandbaby due in November. I did crochet at school but never learned how to actually start myself off. Thanks to 'Hooked by Robin' on YouTube I've finally learnt.
I'm also into 'Tunisian knitting' - crochet to you and me - which I also found on YouTube. I'm having a great time with it all!

Joseanne Tue 17-May-22 10:16:06

I am one today, on my holiday. Time flies.
