Squaring the circles for Becky’s March challenge.
Wordless Wednesday
Just a quickie to draw your attention . . .
. . . to the two most amazing blog posts.
I don’t know Anne very well, because soon after I discovered her, she took a break from blogging. She’s back now, and I’m totally bowled over by these posts about Kent and Sussex, counties I know little about, but Anne has sold to me, here and here.
So, make some tea, put you feet up and enjoy, I promise it will be time well spent!
#MarchSquare day 6
I came across Troika pottery back in the mid 70’s, but it was being produced from 1962 to 1983 in Cornwall. It was the beginning of my passion for ceramics, but I couldn’t really afford to buy it, a shame because it would have been a good investment!
Here’s one of the pieces I do have, a marmalade jar.
Squares in a square for Becky’s March challenge.
Traces of the past
For what seems like forever there’s been scaffolding around the tower of St Mary Steps church in Exeter, and it’s finally been removed to reveal the restored clock. The church is 12th century and sited near where there was once the old West Gate to the city.
You may have seen the photo of the clock yesterday, but todays post is for Paula who is sharing the very grand Rosslyn chapel in Scotland for her Black and White Sunday Challenge.
#March Square 4
Having been hidden behind plastic and scaffolding or ages the restoration of Matthew the Miller is complete! this wonderful clock from the 1620’s looks bright and sparkly again.
I’m sorry the dial doesn’t look as square as it actually is, or as bright, but zooming on an i phone is a bit hopeless. tomorrow I’ll show you the tower so you can get an idea of how it looks.
day 4 of Becky’s March Square challenge and I’m addicted to square photos now!
Built to last
When I first saw a travel programme about Cappadocia I thought how surreal it looked and I really wanted to see it for myself. A few years later I found my way there and it didn’t disappoint, it looked totally out of this world.
with it’s landscape of bizarre rock formations,
cave dwellings, both ancient,
and still in use. In fact you can even stay in some of them, fancy a week as a troglodyte?
#MarchSquare3
It’s too ghastly to go out to take photos today so I’ve been very lazy, a bit of crochet, some housework and quite a long time failing to find a holiday destination. I found this image in my one drive archive, it fits Becky’s challenge of squares or circles within squares.
She’d be happy if you want to join in, every day or just a few days of March.
#March Square 2
I’m cheating a bit today, but hopefully making you laugh will make up for it Becky. My photo is square but there isn’t really a circle, more lots of rounded bits.
There’s always one
Crazy person – usually male, who likes to wear shorts in all seasons. Perhaps it’s me, but I can’t think of anything worse than bare legs when the temperature is -1.
So if it’s cold enough to need an insulated jacket and woolly hat, surely knees need protection as well, what do you think?
