This month I am joining in with the lovely Kate at I live, I love, I craft, I am me blog for a scavenger photo hunt. A little late due to photo uploading issues.
'A photograph inspired by a word, words inspired by the photographs.'
My words are in a different order to the given list, you will see why.
Please join us on our walk.....
Walk.
The view from our destination.
Flowers.
Daffodils are everywhere around here at the moment. Here are a few in the woodland.
Favourite colour.
On this particular day it was blue.
Hat.
Half way up and it had to be removed. The chill of the fresh morning air soon replaced by the warmth of the sun.
Reading.
The stone seat at the summit.
Comfortable.
My six year old boots. Still going strong given how many miles they must have walked.
Baking or cooking.
A well earned rest for little legs and some home made cookies. Sat perilously close to an enticing muddy puddle.
Favourite mug or cup and saucer.
Not quite a mug, but a flask of delicious hot chocolate does just fine.
My own choice.
Because I hope she always has a love of the outdoors.
Candles.
With a small person around they don't get lit as often as I would like, but always a pleasure when they are.
Recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies.
1 cup of butter
1 1/2 cups of caster sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 cups of plain flour
2/3 cup of cocoa powder

DeleteBeautiful photos Jules, It looks like you had a good walk and a great view. Chocolate chip cookies sound delicious :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a really lovely walk and cookies are always a bonus. X
DeleteLovely photos. Where did your walk take you, that view is wonderful? Isn't it nice to see a bit of blue sky for a change.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. This walk was up Orrest Head. The view is over Lake Windermere. X
DeleteHow I agree with Hawthorn. Your re-ordered list of words is wonderful; clever you. I like all your photos but my favourite would have to be the home-made cookie! Ah, food!
ReplyDeleteCookies are always good. They didn't last long. X
DeleteLooks like a really beautiful walk you lucky thing! x

ReplyDeleteThe blue skies made a pleasant change. The walk is from Windermere. X
DeleteWhat a lovely post Jules. Simple things in our lives often bring the most pleasure don't they. I shall be trying your cookie recipe this week. I've not baked them for a while and Thomas and Amy love them. Have a great week. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm a great believer in the simple pleasures in life, especially cookies! X
DeleteI absolutely love your take on the Photo Hunt & realise that I'm a bit on the mundane side with it. Must try harder. Your walk is just amazing, what we love to try & fit when we visit UK. The sky that done did you proud, though I must have been the odd one out, as I think most had lue as their favourite colour. Have a good week & take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan. It made a refreshing change to have some blue sky for once. X
DeleteI love how you've used it alongside your walk and it looked like a lovely walk too xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl. It was a lovely walk. X
DeleteEnjoyed walking with you. The cookies look fabulous, will have to make them. Lovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies were very good and didn't last long. X
DeleteWhat a fun post, gorgeous pictures, even I would walk for hot chocolate!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Chocolate of any kind is a great incentive. X
Deletelovely. small pleasures usually the best ones. And those cookies look gorgeous. could do with one now to go with my cuppa xx
ReplyDeleteSmall pleasures are the best, especially with a cookie. X
DeleteLovely set of photos, was Orrest Head your destination? I always enjoy looking at Kate's photo challenge but have never managed to get organised enough to participate, so well done.
ReplyDeleteI also had photo issues last week with blogger - it was takes HOURS, even though I tried three different browsers. Glad it seems sorted now.
Thank you Jayne. Yes, it was Orrest Head. I think my photo issue was more to do with my phone rather than Blogger - for once! X
