July 2019 photo hunt

Usually I am so organised but this month I'm combining text and photos with about 12 hours to go before reveal time.....

Perhaps the heat is getting to me!  Actually I am enjoying it but I know most people are wilting.  So let's see what I can offer you.

1   Cluttered

Mike's aged aunt's kitchen/living room in April this year.  Sadly she'd
passed away and this was the cluttered sight that greeted us
when we went to her house.

Her parents bought the house in about 1936 and I'm convinced that little
has been thrown away.  Also no-one had any idea how to file
important papers......  So for the past 3 months we've been sorting it all.
Still plenty to do!

2   Paddle

Beloved and friend paddling their way ashore after a ride in Loch Fearnoch and
beyond in our RIB.

3   Pink

Despite appearing later than usual, there are plenty
Common Orchids at our fields.


4  Starts with E

It made me smile to see that the box these earrings came in (a gift from Beloved)
also begins with E!!!  They look heavy but are so light to wear.

5  Roof

Back in September 2017 when Beloved's aunt was in hospital we had to help Social Services
tidy up her home so she could return home.  On the left is the garage personal door.
On the right is the roof to said garage.  Beloved accidentally used the wrong key 
when trying to open this door.  So the only way in was through the roof.
Just as well the roof sheets were loose!

Why did we need access to the garage?  To get to a roll on vinyl floor covering
so lay over her old, torn covering.  Yes, we did it but that will have to be a 
tale for another photo hunt if the appropriate word appears in the list!

6   Own choice

Look what we saw in our garden the other week!!!  It was about 8.30 pm.  I could get
within 5' of it; it did not roll up but stayed still.  I'd seen evidence in the garden
here since we moved in so I knew a hedgehog was about but to see it
was wonderful.  It's not been back since that week, well if it has
I've not been lucky enough to look out the window and see it.

Well, that's me done for this month.  Time to see how other people have interpreted Hawthorn's word.  As usual thanks to Hawthorn for hosting this photo hunt.
