Week 36

I love the passion flower plant.
This set for Helena’s snap were all on the same plant.

Thank you Helena

Week 35

Just before I went AWOL from my blog I was in a lovely part of the Royal Fort Gardens in Bristol, wandering around one of three tired gardens planted almost entirely with grasses. It was very beautiful, peaceful and very windy. I just had my phone with me so Wind Blown is probably the right title for these.

I have missed joining in with Helena’s lovely meme

I was visiting the Royal Fort Gardens in Bristol and the mop-head hydrangeas were looking magnificent. I photographed them all of course but I have just four of the pink ones here for Helena’s Snap this week. A rule breaking friend of mine loves pink. 😉

Thank you Helena.

Week 31

I live very close to a junction on the extremely busy M5 motorway, consequently we use it all the time. I had the idea of using a few of my pictures (as a passenger) for Helena’s Snap!

Spotted whilst stuck in traffic on the motorway

Thank you Helena.

ps You will notice I stuck to the rules this week, unlike a certain friend of mine! Mentioning no Maggies names 🙂

Week 30

I think my Snap collection this week, is particularly apt for Helena

Yarn over the graves

We visited Arnos Vale Cemetery in Bristol recently. Who would have thought a cemetery would be so interesting?

Although having said that, I was reminded how much my mother used to love being taken to our local cemetery. We would push her wheelchair miles around the graves, she would send us to look for ‘so&so’ or ‘whatshisname’ who she was sure was buried ‘just over there’

Anyway, During July at Arnos Vale there are so many interesting guided walks and talks but nothing on the day we went! so we just ambled along following the trail on a map we had, spotting various headstones, obelisks and secret signs. It is a very old cemetery with the first burial in 1839. We were both saddened by the very young age of a lot of the folks buried there. We were amused that so many folk just ‘fell asleep’ We promised each other that we would poke each other a lot to check for vital signs before…too much information.

I was intrigued, however, by this yarn bombing!

Thank you Helena.
