January Scavenger Hunt

Here are the photos for my January scavenger hunt. Kathy at Postcards from the PP started it all.......so don't blame me!
It is addictive and you go around mumbling to yourself while getting strange looks from people for taking photos of strange things!
You can see Kathy's here.
Lots of other bloggers have joined in, these are some of them.
Periwinkle 
Helsie
The Hen House
Louise
There may be more out there and if I come across them I will add them.
so here are my January Twelve
1. An abandoned building

This is a ruined church at Heptonstall. read a short history here.
 2. A stained glass window.


This is the stained glass window from our old front door. The builders and Hubby persuaded me to get a new front door but I loved the old one so much that Hubby had it copied exactly, well it's not exact as the stained glass isn't as gorgeous as this. I have the panel now propped up in my greenhouse, not sure what I will do with it!
3. A tombstone over 100 years old.


This is the grave of David Hartley. One of the Mytholmroyd Coiners hanged for his crimes in 1770.
4. My front door.


Linked to no.2 this is our new front door. It needs painting both inside and out but it is less draughty than the old one, I must admit!
5. Bubbles
6. A reflective surface (not a mirror)
7.  Yarn

8. A library
The wonderful library in Milnrow. A gorgeous building with lovely doors and windows.
9. Something out of place


We came across this heart chalked on a stone while we were walking last Sunday.
10. Nature
Nature is a wonderful thing. My witch hazel flowering away even after being dumped in a pot when we had to move it to make way for the extension.
11. Playground equipment

12. Gold fish
I struggled with this one......
Then I had inspiration.............
during lunch last Sunday in Hebden Bridge.....
a Gold(en) Fish!

  4. Great photos Lyn...with some lovely witty touches too. I love the old door panel. Is there no way of attaching strong wire to it and hanging it in a window? A friend of mine did that and it reflected the coloured light all around the room (it was a little landing window). I can't really tell how big it is, so maybe this wouldn't work, but you could attach it to a base and put candles behind it so it is illuminated....

  9. Really good pictures, I love stained glass, your door is delightful. I would hang on to that bit of glass you have left - there will be something you can use it for one day.

  11. Love the Golden Fish - bet it tasted good! (mushy peas?)

    I would get a wooden frame put round the old glass with feet - like a fire screen. Then you can stand it on a window sill in front of any window so the light shines through, or put a lamp behind it in winter.

  13. Lovely photos Lyn.

    It's a shame you weren't able to incorporate your old panel into the new door, but at least you still have the old panel and a few good suggestions as to how to use it.

    I think I may try this months challenge, the categories look feasible...

  20. I really like that chalked up heart- how cute! I have a (very) little something to send you, would it be possible for me to have your address please? x

  21. I can't choose a favourite photo. I really like them all. You really must bring your stained glass inside, as a focal feature.

    PS. Sorry Lyn, I really thought I had already commented on your Scavenger Hunt post. x
