1000 words, 1000 posts, let's get back!

Yesterday I visited the Foundling Museum, which is on the site of the old Foundling Hospital.

This a poignant photo of some of the mementoes that impoverished mothers left behind when leaving their babies there ​- these were used as ID if ever she were able to come back in the future and reclaim her child. The children were given a number and their names changed.

If you click and enlarge the photo you'll see that they're things like buttons, coins with a name scratched on, or an inch of cloth from a dress.

A very interesting museum and well worth a visit - although I could feel tears welling-up at times.

Foundling Museum

Yet another beautiful place which was used in the Harry Potter films, Durham Cathedral. It's currently exhibiting a huge moon hanging from its ceiling. Quite spectacular don't you think?

A couple from yesterday’s sunny lake. Our big computer has decided it won’t upload photos greyd, the iPad still cooperates. Frustrating isn’t it?

Fanny that photo is just past the Bonded Warehouse on the bend. I may have walk past your Dad in the past then

Josianne the cathedral looks stunning. I didn’t know that about HP. Have you been to Alnwick Castle aka Hogwarts? I’m not a Potter fan at all, but to see the real life Hogwarts is quite an experience. I saw a couple of Americans get very emotional about it.
Jan whereabouts on the canal are you? My dad (who lives near where you get your petrol from ) walks by the canal most days.

Good Lord! I posted a photo at last!

This stood out like a jewel this morning.

Exeter Cathedral yesterday. It was pipped by Gloucester Cathedral for filming in the Harry Potter movies.

Walking along our local canal today

Oh that's annoying Greyduster. Your photos are lovely.
Mine are all on my phone, so easy to download on GN so far. Fingers crossed.

Thought I had deleted that as it won’t let me download the photo. Gransnet has suddenly decided it doesn’t like my big camera and life is too short to be fiddling around with image sizes. Please keep this thread going - I love looking at everyone else’s pics!

The Porter Brook.

This thread was actually in the Active list today! Keep posting ladies!

Some people are up early to get ethereal shots. Here's a late afternoon one yesterday in the west with a dying light.

It was quite foggy earlier this morning.

The view from Chelsea Bridge with Albert Bridge in the distance; and a rather atmospheric view in the other direction of a brooding Battersea Power Station.

One from my walk today.
Where two rivers meet.

Fab picture Josianne!

First ever run on the beach at 16 weeks.
I think he likes it!

Yesterday’s sunrise on Loch Lomond. It was the beginning of another stunning day.

I love white flowers Aldom. They are beautiful.

Flowers from a dear friend. She gave me a three month subscription to Letterbox Flowers. This bouquet was the last one.

Flowers from my daughter and son- in-law.

Mind you the picture might have given you a clue! ?

Spotted on a local walk over the weekend. Clematis Tangutica common name orange peel, who knew?

How green is my valley!
