Photo Scavenger Hunt :: February 2021#1... Lovely Memory

Hi there everyone 😀

The photo scavenger hunt hosted by Kate over on I live, I love, I craft, I am me is continuing through February on a weekly basis, and will do so until our lives get back to a bit more like normal. This is great for me as I tend to post a lot about trips out and holidays so it will be good to have a prompt to get me thinking about other things, whilst we can't really get out and about much.

This week's prompt is ... Lovely Memory ... and whilst I had a lot of pictures to choose from there was always only going to be one subject ...

Sadly we lost dad a week or so ago, after a fairly short illness, and whilst I will always remember the rotten time he had of it over the last few months ... I will also remember all of the lovely times that we had ...

This photo is from September 2019, when mum and dad came and joined us on our holiday on the Isle of Wight for a week. It was at The Needles on one of the windiest days ever and we just had the best of times. ...

You may not be able to see much of The Needles, just tiny little bit to the right of Martin's shoulder, but you can certainly see how windy it was. It's one of my favourite photos of us all and will always bring back lovely memories of dad, the Isle of Wight and all of the lovely times that we spent together 😊

    Posting that photograph must have been hard for you as everything must feel so raw, but what a lovely record of a windy day together on the Isle of Wight.

    Sad & I'm not sure how you've posted that as I know I struggle with losing my Dad back in 2014. It is a great photo showing the very windy weather though & my thoughts are with you. Take care, stay safe & hugs.

      Thank you ... it kind of didn’t feel right to keep blogging about frivolities and not say anything ... I don’t normally say much about stuff on here that is really personal but it didn’t feel right not to acknowledge this as I do tend to blog about stuff we do with mum and dad quite a lot so it would have been strange not to have mentioned it 😊

      I know what you mean. I have the same conflict. I don't want to be superficial in the blog but it is a bit of a vulnerable place. I've recently gone back to my novel-writing which is a great place to write about the personal stuff.
