April Photo a Day

Well, April passed by in a blur!!  Here are the prompts for the month:


and here are our photos:

1. Something purple... lots of purple flowers in the gardens at Mottisfont

2. In my hand... done so much work on the lappy this month that the mouse seems to be permanently in my hand!

3. Shapes... shells of all shapes and sizes at Basildon Park

4. Good together.... the boys playing, 95% of the time.  The other 5% is not so good!

5. Not mine.... a successful shopping trip but none of it's mine - it's for the Cub Pack

6. A taste of spring... our tree is budding, soon be in full leaf

7. Where I'd rather be... inside the car taking this photo instead of pitching a tent!

8. Hobby... making things look nice :-)

9. Dark... playing games before bedding down for the night

10. My fave part of the day... I don't really have one to be honest....

11. 3 of a kind... no photo for this one either!

12. On my left... the dog basket and usually a source of amusement

13. More please!... once we finally got Joe to have a go on the zip wire we couldn't get him off!

14. Dirty... not now I have bought a lovely new pink hoover lol

15. I'm reading this.. missed this one as I am not reading anything at the moment, no time!

16. My vice.. see number 20....

17. Something I learned... the difference between English and Spanish bluebells - thanks to my Auntie Jean :-)

18. Good... next doors new fence - looks so much better than the old rotten one

19. Money... used to make a wish


20. Egg... the best kind :-)

21. Close...  best buddies
 
22. Four things... the start of my shopping list

23. Entrance... hope the bugs find the entrance to their new house we have finally put outside

24. A pop of colour... spring tulips

25. Remember... catch a ball into you hands, don't let it bounce off your finger - it really hurts (it really did swell up more than the photo shows, we thought he might have broken it!)

26. Enjoy the little things... even eating a packet of crisps can be fun

27. Under my feet... no photo for this one....


28. Chaotic... the car journey when the boys let the hound out of his travel box!

29. Contrast... after the wet start to the camping trip, we had sunshine and dining al fresco :-)

 
30. Something silly... need I say more?!

So that's it for another month.  Thanks for dropping by :-)
