An October photograph, but not this year. This is me on an indoor parachute jump. It was a weird sensation, and I wasn’t that far off the ground, but I loved having the experience of floating on air. One day I will do the real thing.

This week’s prompt for Throwback Thursday is: Family Meal Rituals. https://fromcavewalls.wordpress.com/author/magcindy/ has given us a cause to remember our childhood.

Day Five – October
For October 5th I have posted my bowl, which I painted in a pottery centre near where I live. I wanted to do the Marauders Map, but what was in my head didn’t quite make it to the bowl. I even had to ask my daughter to show me the footprints. On the inside IContinue reading “Day Five – October”

Leaves – October 4th
For October 4th my picture was taken just outside my daughter’s back garden. A pile of leaves, all in different shades of brown. There is something beautiful about walking through littered leaves, and the sound they make when you walk over them on a crips Autumn day.

Spooky Season
I love writing for https://sparksfromacombustiblemind.wordpress.com/2022/10/03/share-your-world-10-3-2022/ because the questions always make me think. This week’s questions are brilliant for October. Favourite horror or Halloween-themed song? Or a song you rarely hear except around a holiday. The Monster Mash, it’s a graveyard smash – It always makes me want to sing the whole song. Although I canContinue reading “Spooky Season”
Made With Love

A toy rocking horse for his granddaughter, a painted box for his daughter (She collected little pebbles),Continue reading “Made With Love”
October – Autumn Pictures
This is my second picture posted for October. The leaves, still green, but the weather is getting colder. The sky has a beautiful reddish hue, which is rather beautiful. To be honest, I nearly forgot to take the picture. A quiet day did a bit of shopping, and went back home to relax.
