#63 in my 100 x challenge - Monochrome

We arrived home quite late from our weekend away and had to cook dinner after being refused entry to a pub/restaurant/hotel we often go to on our way home from Norfolk, because we had our dog with us. Bruno has always been allowed in with us and the staff love him and make a huge fuss of him but this time the jobsworth receptionist said we couldn't take him in as people were allergic to dogs but we could have taken him in had we been residents...obviously if you are a resident at a hotel people will not be allergic to your dog! Sorry, rant over!

I hadn't got my POTD so, after much thought, desperation and with a sigh of relief, came up with another in the glass stem series.

I will catch up with commenting asap.

Macro Monday- Glass

This is a tiny glass cup and saucer. I put some grenadine syrup (just because it was the colour I wanted) in the cup then placed the saucer on top. HMM

35/52: The weekly challenge - Leaves

I bought a couple of old books at the weekend...to add to my growing collection. One was an old library book about the life and times of Lloyd George. I tore the fly leaf out (hence the title) since that was the whole purpose of buying the book. Apologies to anyone who thinks that is a crime but the way I look at it is it's being used rather than end up in a tip somewhere. The other book, with the rose on has lots of hand written notes in it which also appeals to me from an artistic point of view. I also made a tag with the leaf definition from an old dictionary...oh dear...I am a book lover really!

248/365: Some of my vintage bottles and another book that I bought at the weekend. I was really excited to find this one as it was printed in 1792 and there are some names and dates handwritten in the front 1796 and 1852.
