Joy and Eileen have organised another great Winter Scavenger Hunt this year and I’m doing quite well with it.

Item 21 My Own Handwriting

I liked doing this, I did it on the second day of December after reading the prompt list for the first time. I wrote about the prompts and the ease and fun with which I was going to get Item 14 Afternoon Tea. Ha! How wrong can a Scavenger Hunter be?

Item 20 Cutlery

This is my favourite of the numerous pictures of cutlery I have. I even asked on an antique stall if I could take a picture of a rather nice canteen of cutlery that I had no intention of buying. The guy was just thrilled that I bothered to ask! Anyway we had a really nice lunch at Jamies and I loved the napkins!

Item 2 Tinsel

I don’t like tinsel but I keep this little bit for Ben. He loves to aggravate me by putting it in inappropriate (you don’t want to know) places. I do like the festive colour though.

Item 15 Candlelight

The first day of December and the day we lit our advent candle. I so love the tradition of lighting the candle each evening after our meal, it feels like a quiet end to a busy day of Christmas prep. We also love the ritual of seeing how many days we forget to light it. I write in my December journal whether we have or not. This year we were really bad at remembering and of course we just had to sit up and have yet another drink on Christmas Eve to get the candle down!

Item 10 A Windy Day

I was literally nearly blown away trying to take this set of pictures! I have a few mediocre attempts at depicting a windy day but I loved the idea of this. We were in London at Canary Wharf, it was really windy so we had gone inside a building to catch our collective breath(s?) and looking out to the street noticed this sign being blown almost to the floor. I couldn’t resist could I?

Thank you Joy and Eileen
More next week. Thanks for looking. How are you doing with the Scavenger Hunt?
