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.

When even the puppy stands still and remembers.

All the animals in wars.

A fitting image, MiniMoon. Those old sepia photos hold many memories.

I'm watching the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance. My Dad won the Standard Bearers competition for the Cumberland and Westmorland division two years running and proudly paraded tge standard in the Royal Albert Hall. We looked for him on the tv, but didn't manage to spot him. I think this photo was taken at Carlisle Castle.

Autumnal visit to Buxton this week.

Golden Autumn woods and a little water fall.

A cascade of poppies at our local church. They come all the way down the wall and spread across the churchyard before scrambling over the wall beside the street. They serve as an amazing remembrance statement for the whole town.

When little brother wants the upper hand.

A November's day walk.

One of my Nerines. I love that they flower at this time of year.

Spotted these ivy leaves today in a local park.

Riverwalk

Lots of beautiful scenes - thank you all who post them.

Not so beautiful but continuing with the abseiling theme, this is the view from the John Lewis roof garden. The abseilers were, I think, setting up Xmas lights. ?

I love London with all the Christmas lights.

Late yesterday afternoon.

The view from the top of the Knoll.

Brent Knoll Church near Burnham on Sea. Scaling the tower to fix the clock!

Those pics bring back a few memories Josianne.

House

For any Doc Martin fans.

Not a bad view from today’s coffee stop, but it was certainly a bit nippy up there!

Another weekend, another cathedral. Worcester.

MiniMoon Fri 22-Oct-21 16:32:48

One from the height of summer. This is the wall on the opposite side of the road from our house. It was an absolute riot of colour.

Autumn in the garden.

When the field becomes a lake overnight

Our stretch of canal. Same walk different day smile

By the river this morning. Beavers live here.
