Winter Photographic Scavenger Hunt #5 and final entry

Unfortunately the health got the better of me and I haven't quite managed to finish the challenge but here are my final three entries for the Bracelet of Days Winter Photographic Scavenger Hunt. It's been a fun way to spend the last few months and so huge thanks go to Eileen for thinking it all up. If you follow THIS LINK then you will find out more about the hunt and see the other entries I have made since December. There should have been 20 pictures in total but I have managed just 17. Eileen usually posts a link page up so we can see what other people have managed - I'll post the link up when it appears.

13. An instruction
These and a collection of metal tubes and plastic linkies eventually became a small set of shelves for our seedlings with only little bit of swearing added for good measure!

Just add common sense!
Ta da! (Good job J was about)






16. A measurement
A small plastic dibber that has seen several years of use and will see many, many more. It's marked in both centimetres and inches to help sow seeds to the right depth. I cropped the photo so you could the measurements more clearly but otherwise the photo is un-doctored!


20. A form of communication
Whilst I was at my poorliest last year these lovely little postcards would pop through the door from one of my friends. Such a simple, gentle way of letting me know that she was thinking of me - even when she was going through some tough times herself. A lot to be said for a simple postcard! Thank you my friend.

    Those are really pretty postcards - nice friend to remember you. I've seen one of the planting tools before, my Gran used one.

    Lovely photos. I'm sorry you are dealing with health issues. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015; a lumpectomy followed, with 6 months of chemo (which dragged out a bit longer) and 35 radiation treatments; currently, I am on a daily medication to keep things in check.

    Thank you for sharing that Bless. My breast cancer had already metastasized by the time it was diagnosed and like you I have been through radiotherapy, chemo and now a drug regime to keep it stable. Sometimes though it just likes to give me a little slap to remind me stability isn't the same as gone. Getting stronger by the day but the little things are back to taking a lot of energy at the moment. It will improve and I look forward to reading everyone else's blogs in the meantime. Best wishes Tx

    There's nothing better than a hand-written message from a friend, especially when things are difficult. Loved your end of the day shot and that bright orange Gerbera Daisy. Best wishes for a continued recovery!!!

    You've done very well getting most of the 20, given your health hiccup. I do hope you are getting better and better. Those postcards are lovely and I am sure they brightened your day.

      Thank you, the hunt has provided a wonderful distraction if I'm honest.

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment, due to an upsurge in "odd" comments all comments are moderated. I hope it won't put too many of you off. I think I've also finally fixed the issue that meant we couldn't reply to comments
