Well, here we are again. Hard to believe another month has gone by. I find the weeks are slipping by so quickly these days. Thanks to Hawthorn for hosting this once more. So let's see what I can show you.
1 Houseplants
Many years ago I used to have lots of houseplants but no more (I no longer
wanted to be bothered with re-potting etc). But I recently bought some
white narcissus bulbs which did flower for me!
Now the narcissus have gone, I've replaced them with a pot
of hyacinth bulbs; I gaze at them every day looking
forward (with a smile on my face) to when they will bloom
and hopefully be scented! I'm already anticipating
being able to buy cut daffodil flowers in
late January 2021, if there are any.
2 Rings
Out on a local walk last year and I spotted these rings.
Possibly for electric fencing wire?
Beautifully made.
PS Just look at the lovely sky!
This photo was taken just over 18 years ago.... we used to visit friends in Oban and then go out
onto the water and float around (taking nibbles and sherry with us.....).
Anyway, we often pulled in to a sheltered place called Puilladobhrain, pronounced Puldoran!
The boat in the picture must have been beached on a very high tide.

4 Window
So many possibilities! I've managed to limit myself to 'two' pictures.
Having a brew and cake at Hawes Creamery; I liked the
window glass!
The window for the driver of the Flying Scotsman.
April 2017 she was at Oakworth and we managed to see her; what a lovely thing she is.
Top left you can just see the other window in the cab.
5 Sky
We have seen some wonderful clouds in the skies this month. I have done my best to select just three.....
Looks like the pattern the retreating tide makes on a sandy beach....
The contrast between the very dark sky and bright sunshine was a delight to see.
In reality the sky was a lot darker.....
Driving home recently and I (as the passenger!) spotted this.
We think it was a con trail but at a rather unusual angle.
Thankfully not a tornado!
6 Own choice
My original plan for this photo has not happened so I went to plan B!
I've started to crochet this blanket but it's not finished yet
but at the same time I've made a smaller version
for the kitty rescue charity.
Here it is. It's not identical to the original pattern
but a smaller and adapted version!
Bye!
