I found this super idea on Kathy's 'Postcards at the P.P. '
blog and decided to join in and have a go at bringing some colour into November. The idea comes from a lovely blog called
silverpebble. I've been reading quite a few blogs this week and it seems that lots of us are feeling low and not particularly looking forward to the coming winter so 'Splash of Colour' is about helping us to feel a bit brighter.
Some of the photos are from this time last year as I haven't been able to get out and about with a camera this week; I hope you enjoy them!

Lovely colours Rosie - and great photos too - all of them. I'm with you on November, January and February! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI like your new look blog! I have been meaning to change mine recently, but I can't decide what to do with it!
ReplyDeleteI got some really lovely colourful bunting from that shop in Cromford not long ago!
Perfect! Just what we need at this time of year. As much as I love fall, it doesn't last long enough, and I'm dreading the long, colorless winter ahead.
ReplyDeleteI particularly love the mugs. There's something so wonderful about having a hot drink in a happy, colorful mug on a miserable day.
Ahhhhh, Chloe looks so soft! I like your new blog header and background - lovely! Thank you for the splash of colour. It was just what I needed.x
ReplyDeleteI love those hats!!
ReplyDeleteAnd would lose my mind in the Bridgewater store!
Wonderful post idea!
This is such a great idea isn't it? Just posted something myself.
ReplyDeleteLove your Splash of Colour photos Rosie and I echo your sentiments about Chloe!

I'm enjoying everyone's Splash of Colour. Isn't it a good idea! I love those hats!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks all your uplifting comments over on my blog ... I really appreciate it Rosie.
Love Kathy xxx
YAY, I've been in that shop in Cromford a couple of times. I bought two fleeces just over a year ago, when they were on offer. I can see one from where I am sitting now. I also have a pair of very fluffy fingerless gloves from there. It's a fascinating place :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea for a post! This is definitely the time of year to pull out all the stops on color and bright spots...short days, cold, and rainy where I am. Loved all your "color" shots!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely idea! Your pictures made me smile, thank you :)

Oh thanks so much for joining in - these photos are wonderful. I adore that photo of the sky. That is one of the best colours ever isn't it? The first SOC project week is drawing to a close. It's been truly fantastic. Hope you can play along in December too!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, just what's needed at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteIt must be something in the air Rosie, we need something to lift our spirits, colour certainly helps and so does visiting blogs like yours.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo's to brighten up a dull Autumn day x
