gloves

a purple gloves next to the double purple lines on a london street. the purple lines denote that the road is one of London’s red routes.

three generations of glove finders out on a walk were bound to find some gloves.
my mum spotted this one first:

and then i found this in a little stream:

here is a photo from brother kev (jane’s sister’s husband as seen on the blog at christmas with a low hat – we’ve very informal around here and ignore the traditional ‘in-law’ thing).
it’s a very good picture and would make a terrific background for any desktop.

I’ve started carrying my camera around and hey presto, in only three days my first glove.
Totally genuine, found on a tree stump beside a path just behind Elm Park in Thame, Oxfordshire, at about 12.30pm on Thursday 12 Feb 04
And here it is all for you

here is another fluffy glove. the one on the right looked like it was a glove from a distance so i got my camera out as i approached it.
unfortunately it was not a glove. it was in fact a “doggie-do” which had been deposited in a glove resembling way.
i deliberately didn’t use flash. (perhaps i should have used ‘flush’)

look at this beauty ! click to inspect

nice to start the week with another lost glove. especially one as stripey as this.

one walk, four gloves

a glove on my train at 12.15 this morning.

this woolen glove was in the middle of the road and was extremely flat (like a cartoon character run over by a steam roller).
i was pleased to see it was giving me the ‘thumbs up’ despite the obvious traumas it had been through.
