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.

On a chilly autumn morning just sharing a couple of my roses in their second flowering. New Dawn and My Love.

I couldn’t resist this single stem multi-head sunflower outside the National Trust shop in Lacock today, it was amazing!

I'm just amazed at the way they shoot up overnight. So delicate

Oh dear, I chopped the top off. I made sure I hadn't!

I had to go into Speyer this morning. It's our nearest big town and I love it. Have lived in the area since I came to Germany. I used to work there and driving in in the mornings would take my breath away with the sun shining on the historic spires and medieval buildings.

Today was a perfect September day and I was in tears at the sight of it because I haven't been since the start of the pandemic.

And then being able to sing on top of all that! I was helping out the choir at the church music school I used to attend as they are preparing for conducting exams.

I took this picture of the Cathedral. About half an hour later the sun would have been round the front but I had to get home - singing makes you hungry!

I passed this on a walk yesterday and I chuckled up the road and now chuckling again X

We had a glorious sunset last night but I couldn't photograph it as I was at choir practice and could only enjoy the bright red sky through the church windows - doubly glorious.

Josianne that wallpaper is fabulous! What make is it?
Do you have a ‘thing’ about monkeys?
I do. I bought a dress from Boden just because it’s got monkeys on it. I hate the colour of it!

Another one from our recent holiday in Dumfries and Galloway. This is taken in Logan Botanical Gardens. Well worth a visit if you are ever in the area.

Casdon My husband was born in a house with a view of Pen y Fan. I have a lovely painting of the view, done as a gift to my husband, by a friend. Thank you for your photo.

Josianne Thu 23-Sept-21 10:37:00

Remember my photo of the downstairs loo???
The monkeys are back, on the landing this time.
Cat is unimpressed.
