Seven snaps for seven days - forty three



As mentioned in my previous post, probably the best fish and chips in the world at Beamish Museum.


Having a picnic tea in the car at the beach, watching the sunset over Alnmouth.


Visiting the ruins of Warkworth Castle on our few days away.


Tried to get to explore the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle but it was closed.

Seven snaps for seven days - weeks thirty nine to forty one

I seem to have been struggling with my seven snaps over the past few weeks hence this catch up post. Some days just do not seem to have presented any photo opportunities and some days I have been hard pushed to choose the snap that I want to represent the day. I am hoping to get back to normal this week and have today's snap in the bag.


Interesting window display in the local barber's shop.


The map chair in the town hall. It has a speaker in each wing and when you sit down you hear poetry about the local area. It is fabulous!


A bit of a grey day at the seaside, with the sun trying to come out.


Lovely colours in the leaves of this succulent.


A fantastic knitted hanging basket outside the haberdashery shop in my granny's town.


Gorgeous colours over the sea at sunset.


Having a lovely and productive time at knitting group. these mittens will be in my Etsy shop shortly.


Very proud of achieving my Level Two Amateur Boxing Association Award!


My mum helping my niece who is trying out walking in her first pair of shoes.


There was a pretty double rainbow over the valley. You can just make it out above the trees.


Milkshakes at an impromptu lunch with friends. Lots of fun!

Seven snaps for seven days - weeks thirty seven and thirty eight

I have put these two weeks together as I haven't taken many photos recently. I am not sure why, it seems that either nothing was very inspiring or I missed my opportunity. Here are the ones that I did manage to take.


Having fun playing with my niece. She is very interested in feet at the moment!


A lovely sunny dog walk with my sister and my niece.


Having lots of fun doing a photo shoot with a friend for secret projects that we are working on. All will be revealed soon!


I love seeing the leaves starting to change colour. So many lovely colours on this creeper.


I made apple and blueberry crumble using apples from the tree in our garden. I love using this vintage Pyrex dish.


Loss is Eternal - a sand sculpture at my local Town Hall that commemorates the First World War.


Soothing mint tea in some cheerful pottery.


Lazy Sunday afternoon sofa nest with the papers, magazines, a book and a cuppa!

Yummy and reasonably healthy pudding - raspberries, Greek yogurt, walnuts and a drizzle of honey.


Great display in a local shop window, animated rodents and Yorkshire Soap!


Excuse this one feet phobes, my niece and I!


Wearing my lovely cherry brooch that my mum crocheted for me.


The first apple harvest of the season from the tree in our garden.


Sunday afternoon at knitting group, this pattern made me laugh and I thought I would give it a go.

Just the six this week.


Part of a water feature in Manchester which has lots of sculptures of natural forms under the water.


Starting the rib of the sleeves of the cardigan.


Admiring my friend's tea cosy; having tea and biscuits whilst watching the Great British Bake Off.


I bought some 1930's needlework magazines, full of fantastic fashions.


I also bought some 1940's knitting books, packed full of great knits.


Having a fun, entertaining evening looking after our friends' son and puppy.
