Scavenger Hunt March 2016


I've been rather remiss with my scavenging in the last few months. Thus, this has been a determined last minute scramble to ensure this does not ensue!
The prompts are provided by Greenthumb at Made with Love: http://suzzie43.blogspot.co.uk/p/scaerngera.html

Enjoy!

Local
Here's the local train service in Haltwhistle coming along the line!

City
 Here is the theatre in Newcastle City Centre. It is very impressive!
And here is another city sight- the impressive Tyne Bridge.

Stripes
The only picture I took this month with stripes was slightly blurry so I put it into HD in Picmonkey to make it look a bit more gritty!
This was in the Tower Art Gallery and Cafe in Newcastle's Artistic quarter. I liked the combination of violin, washing basket and typewriter.

Crisp
Hello Tyrells Sweet chilli and pepper!

RockStairs
 Several of us wondered if this was a typo and these were supposed to be Rock and Stairs separately  but here, I have indeed Rock stairs!  These stairs are formed from rocks on the ascent on Blencathra in the Lake District.
And here they are close up!

Tiles
Oops, will try to add this when I take one!

Street Art
We saw a few pieces of street art in Newcastle the other day. I liked that this was on a Paint depo!

Hair
Saw this clump of er- something on a branch and it totally looked like unkempt hair!

Measure
Hermione's Time Turner seems to measure time too as well as taking you back in time to save an Animagus and Hippogriff!

Large
This slice of Mars Bar crispie in the Barrowburn farm tea room was large to say the least as was the pot of tea. For £3.50 I had about 6 cups of tea and this delicious slice!

For one
 In the 1980's, London Transport introduced the Travel Card which meant you could travel on the bus, tube and train FOR ONE price.  There was a brilliant advert on TV in which Superman solved various problems using the bus, tube and train named "Super Car".  I was thus, very surprised to see the original SuperCar today at Barleylands!


Landscape
 Here's a view of the landscape coming down from Blencathra's summit.
We could see so much from here!


Did you take part in the Scavenger Hunt? Do share if you did!

  3. That bus is super indeed and the bridge so lovely. The stoned Kraken is a treasure to be sure! As for those veg on my latest post, I was told by all my Instagram people they are eggplants. I forget what dopey thing I had them tagged as.

  6. I must admit that I was perplexed when I said the Supercar, but it looks pretty cool! Certainly, the idea of using the bus, the tube and the train with the same ticked is great.

    Your hunt was very successful. You shared so many lovely things/photos with us.

    Have a great week beautiful!

  11. What a fab name...Haltwhistle, it sounds like it should be a place in a children's TV programme. Lovely pics here Kezzie, especially liking the street art, the Supercar and of course...the Cake!

  12. I love the street art Octopus, which reminds me that we also have one (blue and quite different) here in Ipswich that I must photograph sometime. I lived in West Jesmond quite a long time ago - love Newcastle and Tyneside!
