Faversham 365 Pictures!

 OK so clearly I did not post as I went along. Apologies. The whole thing ended up being slightly more complicated than I had envisioned. We were still in lockdown that week and frankly there are only so many pictures of the creek one wants to look at. To come up with 14 varied pictures that tell a story of Faversham was - slightly intimidating, especially with nothing open and no activities. I did my best. Here you go!

Faversham 365

Our town is doing another 365 project this year - where anyone can submit photos and one is chosen for each day of the year. There's an exhibition and usually a book if funds are forthcoming. You can read all about it here - http://kentcreative.org/project-365/a-year-in-the-life-of-faversham-2021/

To make sure that there is a photo for every day, volunteers take it in turns to commit to submitting two photos a day for one week. This is my week. 

Here's my short list for today:

This is a reflection through the shop window of Andrew's card shop.



The Faversham branch of the Women's Institute made these yarn bombs and post box toppers - they're all through town and they are fabulous. 



I'm leaning towards the first and last ones - the first is an unusual perspective of something we see all the time, and the last one makes me laugh. What do you think?

I'll try to post them up as I go.

In other news - it actually snowed today for a wee bit. Sigh. But yesterday was beautiful, and we spent all afternoon in Lorenden woods. I could hear woodpeckers everywhere - I could just about see them - but as soon as I got the binoculars anywhere near my eyes they were gone - just an almost-seen flash of dip and wing. 

Otherwise life continues as usual - we are still in lockdown, but all being well, this time next week non-essential shops will be able to open, including HAIRDRESSERS! and PUB GARDENS! (outside only - please hope the sun comes out for us or the entire nation will freeze to death).

Stay safe my friends - I miss you x
