Where did the month of April go ??
 
I thought I would have been  organised this time
and
have had all my photos taken
and
 stored ready to show you.
Have
you guessed ?
 I haven't.
Mainly due to still not being fully active after my spell in hospital
and awful weather hindering me to get to the places I wanted to visit,
for what I call my photo shoot days.
 
Well here is my effort for  APRIL
 
 A is for ?
 
 Apple
 as it takes me back to school days,
how we learnt the
A.B.C.
 
We had  been to a new restaurant  recently opened near to where we live.
In years gone by it was the railway station .
The table decoration caught my eye
on each table they had placed
a  RED APPLE in a glass.
 
 
 
 
11 a.m.
 
Coffee time in our household.
Always HOT and made by my Mr France for ME.
 
 
 
 
SMOOTH
 
This was taken on a still day last summer.
 
 



Scale
Out come the dratted scales.
 
It's that time of the year again, the weather is getting warmer we stop layering up to keep warm . Look through our wardrobe and find we can't squeeze into those favourite trousers we wore last year.



Tile
 
 
It's difficult to find just a tile.
As where I live all the roofs look like this.
But I loved the look of the many different shades of terracotta
on this roof as I peeped through the widow at my daughters house.
 
 
 
 

 
 
LOGO 
 
 
This was taken at a vintage car rally.
 
 



SCRAP 

It was a wood burner in the house before renovation.
Now it's used to warm us up outside on a chilly evening
that we never want to end.
I think it needs emptying !!
 
 
 
 
 
 
MATCH
A group of local boys playing rugby.
My grandson is in there somewhere.
 
 
 
 
 
PATH
 
My pathway to heaven.
 
Taken a few years ago on our visit to the PROVENCE.
 
 
Layers
 
We often see these layers  overhead .
I call it sky painting.
 

 
 
 

Carry

Boys always love to do this.

 
Truck

 
This is a Lego master piece
 which my grandson made a couple of years ago.
 
 


 
 
I hope you enjoyed seeing my choice for Aprils





 
 
So until next time keep your camera handy at all times and join in.

à bientôt

  6. I don't think you could have done better if you had planned this one months in advance. Even though I know you have to go back to the hospital for more treatments, I hope each day brings you less pain.

  20. Dear Barbara,

    I enjoyed looking back at all your wonderful photos from April and it is great to get a glimpse of life in France for you. I love the old roof tiles and the wood burner. Thank you for visiting me and I will share the photos of the things I bought at the brocante but I am getting the catch repaired on the brooch.. Hope you are resting and your back is getting better.
    Enjoy the week
    Hugs
    Carolyn
