Words for this month's Scavenger Photo Hunt organised by Kate at 'I Live, I Love, I Craft' blog are - Edge, Loaf, Bridge, Mine, Black and My Own Choice
Edge - The Crags Edge Cafe at the Creswell Crags Visitor Centre was quite busy when we had tea and cake in the afternoon there recently.
The Edge Cafe above
Loaf - Freshly baked loaves just out of the oven and cooling on the tray.
Bridge - at the new Visitor Centre at Sherwood Forest a sculpture which shows the fight on the bridge between Robin Hood and Little John.
Mine - the first museum I worked in was in a town in the coal mining area of Nottinghamshire and we had lots of fossils like the one above on display. This
Lepidodendron fossil which is on display in Mr Bateman's geological gallery at Biddulph Grange is from a tree also known as a scale tree. They were part of the coal forest flora.

Black - I thought the delicate tracery of the wrought iron in this bowl shaped pulpit which we saw at St Werburgh's church in Derby looked wonderful in the sunlight streaming through the windows.
My Own Choice - I thought these were fun - 'The Red Barrows' in formation outside the shop and reception area at Newark Air Museum.

You had me chortling at the Red Barrows! Genius who ever thought those up :D thank you for joining in x
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate, yes the red barrows were great fun and everyone seemed to like them:)
DeleteGreat choices Rosie. The bread looks delicious - you can't beat a freshly made loaf :) The sculpture at Sherwood Forest is interesting and the wrought iron pulpit is so unusual have never seen anything like that before. The fossil is brilliant - I really must return to Biddulph Grange :)
ReplyDeleteThank you RR, the bread was lovely toasted. The sculptures that were in the forest are now dotted around the centre and village - we spotted Robin and Marion close to the Co-op in the village. The geology gallery at Biddulph is almost complete, just a couple of fossils or replicas to place in the empty spaces plus some of the stone layers. It is looking very impressive. The church in Derby was fascinating we were with friends and had been to the Museum to see a couple of exhibitions one of which carried on in the church. I'd never been in before and only had my little camera with me but managed to take one or two photos:)
DeleteYou've got a brilliant eye for these scavenger hunts taking us all off on an unexpected tangent! I can just smell that fresh bread! 😊
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen, I always seem to leave the photos until the last minute and am then trawling through what I have taken to try and fit the prompts. The bread was very tasty:)
DeleteThat lacy iron pulpit is lovely..... And the loaves of bread!!!! :-)

Thank you WoW, the pulipt was very intricate and light and airy unlike the wooden ones in other churches. The bread was lovely both toasted or with cheese:)
DeleteNice-looking visitor centre, but even better looking bread. I rather like the idea of that bowl-shaped pulpit; the vicar would look very like a missionary being boiled alive by cannibals!
ReplyDeleteThank you John, ha ha - yes the pulpit is cauldron shaped isn't it? The visitor centre is fascinating but very busy when we visited as the children were off school and it's a great place for them to visit:)
DeleteI like the red barrows! I didn’t know about the Robin Hood statue so have added it to my list of ‘things to see’ ... thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, there are one or two statues that used to be at the old centre doted around the village. Robin and Maid Marion in the centre near the shops:)
DeleteA lovely set of photos! I too had a good smile at the Red Barrows. For me, you can't beat the smell of freshly baked bread.
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes the bread did smell wonderful, the red barrows amused and cheered everyone as they came out of the museum:)
DeleteThe Robin and John sculpture really stands out nicely.
ReplyDeleteThank you William, yes they were in a good place for all to see:)
DeleteLovely photos Rosie, but the bridge & your own choice really stood out for me. We have a squadron based here in Victoria, which I think are the red arrows too & they flew across over us not long ago for the Formula 1 race in Melbourne. Quite a noise, though we nearly missed them as the noise comes after they've gone (giggle). Loved the unusual pulpit too. Thanks for sharing, take care & have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan, we saw the red arrows once pass over close by, we were driving to a nature reserve at the time and looking in the sky for buzzards and all of a sudden there they were. Hope you had a super weekend:)
DeleteA lovely selection of photos Rosie. I can almost smell that bread. Have a lovely weekend. B x
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara, the bread was delicious, especially toasted:)
DeleteThe barrows are such a fun picture and very clever idea.
ReplyDeleteLove the pulpit one with the sunshine.
mmmm lovely bread...... I bet that was nice and tasty
Thank you Julie, the barrows are great fun aren't they? The pulpit was very unusual and yes, the bread was very tasty:)
DeleteHow fortuous that the cafe is called Craggs Edge. The bread looks yummy. The red barrows are fun. X
ReplyDeleteThank you Shazza. When I saw the sign I though ah, yes -one of the photo hunt words. The red barrows are fun aren't they?:)
DeleteEnjoyed your pics today. The red barrows are fun and that is an interesting statue of Robin Hood and Little John :)
ReplyDeleteDiana
Thank you Diana, I think the red barrows have made everyone smile such a simple yet effective idea, I expect they will keep re-planting them through the summer:)
DeleteWell done for all the pictures. The wrought iron at St Werburgh's is quite stunning, and I do like the Red Barrows - that's my sort of daft humour :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jayne, I'm glad the red barrows made you smile, everyone seems to like them. The pulpit was rather beautiful, my photo doesn't do it justice, it was so delicate:)
DeleteNice interpretations as always :) clever thinking with the Red Barrows :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam, whoever thought of and planted out the red barrows has made lots of people smile, such a simple idea and yet so effective:)
DeleteSuper duper as usual Rosie. That pulpit is amazing, I've never seen one like it. x
ReplyDeleteThank you Mrs T - there was lots of delicate wrought ironwork in the church, similar to that in the cathedral:)
DeleteVery interesting pictures! I love the small bridge in the Sherwood forest :))
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is unusual isn't it?:)
DeleteI think if I were to preach I'd feel a bit silly standing in the bowl pulpit. What an extraordinary thing. Red Barrows - someone has had fun with that idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lucy, yes it is unusual. John, in his comment above likened it to a cauldron, it would seem to me like being in a hanging basket perhpas? The red barrows are a great idea:)
DeleteAll great photos, I'd love some of that bread with cheese right now!
ReplyDeleteThank you, the bread was very nice with cheese but also toasted too:)
DeleteThis is a great collection! I like the sculpture and the red barrows!
ReplyDeleteThank you Louise, the red barrows are fun aren't they?:)
DeleteLovely pictures. Like all the above bloggers I love the red barrows. Very clever. Made us all smile just seeing your photographs. The loaf looks delicious, yes toasted with cheese would be scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jak, I think the red barrows will please a lot of people who visit the museum through the spring and summer:)
