I finally did it. I'm not sure how many times I've taken these only to bin a bad attempt at taking a photo, but at last you have the window boxes.
Or one of them. There are 4 along the front of the house and 3 on the side wall. They're all the same but are lovely.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
when dusting the windowledge (not really), I spotted my first hare (2 actually) for ages - ran and snatched a camera and opened window. But these vigilant eyes and ears had rumbled ... and in a blur ... he was gone.
oh dear - messy background and camera settings
I'm getting bored so I must be getting better...I cannot wait to get out about, and dare I say it go back to work!

I saw this mug on a window ledge in town this morning. It already had the eyebrows and smile, so I added the eyes and the nose.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
This is my best friend Fay who I went to school with and got up to all kinds of mischief with throughout my teens and twenties. Nowadays we don't get to see each other much because I've moved to London.
I wanted her portrait to be really special but it ended up being the hardest top hat shoot yet as we couldn't do anything close to what we had planned. It was raining allllllll day and there was very little light. We ended up going in to a derelict cafe for this pic and Fay had to sit right on the window ledge to get any light on her at all. I think this might grow on me but I'm definitely a little dissapointed.

I lined these little ornaments up on my window ledge as I was decorating my tree and thought how pretty and sparkly they looked with the sun filtering through the window.
I bought this little pot of tulips to grow, the flowers have come out in the last couple of days...thought they would look good against the night sky, on the window ledge

New net curtains, which will double as "mosquito nets" in the summer, to keep us cool and insect free...my last years curtains got ruined with window insect stickers so I have bought these online from Dunelm Mills.
I can see how this online shopping could become a very additive and expensive alternative to shopping!

Though not actually benches but wide window ledges on the huge Primark Store at 499-517 Oxford Street, W1K 7DA.
At first glance the line of mannequins in the store window display made me think of people queuing for buses. Except that the mannequins seem to be identical and none of them looks at a mobile phone.
____________
I liked the way the store windows mirror Oxford Street.
