Continuing the planner

I didn't write much into my planner through the last few weeks but determined that I would complete the pages even if I had to cover the pages with stickers - which you will see is what I ended up doing!

Week 31
I watched a lot of the Commonwealth Games all week so not a lot to say!
I stuck this gelli plate print in.   It may or may not get journaled on!
Week 32
I went to a great workshop at the Festival of Quilts.
Ali Edwards asked if some of us would send a photo of ourselves holding up our One Little Word.  Here's a copy of the photo I sent.
Week 33
I couldn't remember what I did this week so  - stickers!  Plus I stuck the flap down onto the lined page.
Week 34
Here's another page with the flap stuck down.   The OLW task for August was to look at the music that was important to you but I felt that I had already covered that when I was doing Summer of Color.

Thanks for stopping by.

What else did we see?

Yesterday I shared all the gates and openings, but what else did we see?

All sorts of dfferent things!

3 ducklings sheltering under their mother.
 A signpost in Chard to places we've never heard of!
 A sign about 'Kiss me Hardy'
 Giant thistles

The Strode, at Barrington Court
 Barrington Court
Two very large houses built next door to each other.  The one on the left was originally the stables.
A giant clothes peg
A cupboard in the wall
 The Manor House we stayed in on Wednesday.
An oversized Kingfisher that looks more like a Puffin
Lytes Cary Manor
A metal sculpture at Glastonbury Abbey
A metal cockerel, also at Glastonbury Abbey.
And lastly, a door, in a cemetery.

A selection of things that caught my eye!

Thanks for stopping by.

Doors, Gates and Openings

If you read yesterday's post you know we had 3 days away in Somerset.  I wanted to go to Montacute House.  We also managed to go to Barrington Court, Tintinhull Garden and Lytes Cary Manor.

I love to take photos of patterns and flowers.  But this time I seemd to be drawn to gates and gateways, and openings in hedges.  There are a lot of photos in this post!

Interestingly (well to me anyway!) the one place I didn't take photos of gates and opening is Montacute.
