* 48 *

I can't believe it's the end of March already can you ?

Here are this months entries for the Scavenger Hunt. I am enjoying this little monthly challenge even if I did find some of these a little hard.

A Lion.... this is Wallace a stuffed lion in our local museum . It is said that he was part of a victorian beast show called Manders Menagerie . In 1868 in Sunderland he mauled his trainer but they both survived and just in case you are interested the white car behind him was the first car to come off the line when Nissan first opened here.


A Rainbow........... no proper rainbows this month or any that I saw anyway. I thought this was going to be the first photo I missed out on but managed to see this at school this morning. I had looked for a rainbow trout too but none in my supermarket.


Something Green .... some moss growing in an outside shed.


An Empty Chair ...... this is where Hub normally sits but he was at work . Do you think his new friend is missing him?


Something Sentimental.......... now this one was really really hard . I am so sentimental about everything it borders on patheticness ( if that is even a word) . So I went with 3 things given to me by Hub. The necklace he bought me when we were on honeymoon in Hawaii . I opened the oyster shell and got a black pearl which we had put into this setting.


Peeling Paint .... I was going to use another photo but decided I liked this one better even though I have used it in a previous post.


A Collection ....... a few bits of treasure found on our beach walks . We always find lots of sea glass of all different colours - beautiful.


A Ring ... well several rings but I think it still counts.


A Fancy Gate .......


A Shadow......... these are the hagstones which I also collected from the beach and they hang just beside my back door.


Something As Old As you ......... well sort of, this is my parents wedding album that was given to my fraternal grandmother. I was born 10 months after they got married. This was the closest I could get. I do have a baby rattle but that is somewhere in my parents attic.


A Lamb ..... this one is a bit of a cheat as it was taken last year . I was going to show the lamb in my fridge but thought this photo was just a bit cuter.
