This morning after yet another dental appointment I took up residence at this cafe – halfway between home and the dentist. It wasn’t that I needed to recover from dentist, but the fact I had planned multiple back to back and overlapping meetings with our volunteers. We had such fun chatting to each other. In most cases it was the first time we had met, as many of them had been recruited during last year’s lockdown, and until today all of our meetings had been via Zoom or over the telephone. It was fabulous to finally meet them. But that’s not the reason for this bonus square . . . . . .

Tea Break

I thought we could also enjoy a coffee/tea break together, and where better than in our first Past Squares gallery. Don’t forget to also pour yourselves a little something!

Wasn’t that a wonderful first room, so many fabulous Past Squares to discover. I am hoping you will have a chance to visit every Squarer in every room this weekend.

By the way all of the squarers in the first three rooms joined in the fun of Past Squares on day one of the challenge. Mostly I have linked to their day ones although just occasionally I was sidetracked by another day’s square.

Our final two room in this opening gallery are rather a bumper collection. Originally one room but now two, thanks to the glorious rush of Squarers in the past couple of days. Here you will find here our lovely new squarers, a few squarers whom we have not seen for a while as well as everyone who joined us after the first day.

Thank you to everyone who has joined in the fun of past squares in the opening week. I hope you’ll continue to square in the coming weeks, for now though let’s explore the second half of the final room.

  10. Lovely shot, Becky. I’m back to blogging and trying to do both orange and past squares when possible. I’m glad Cee posted all the past themes. I’m especially liking “kinda” as that seems to cover a multitude of possibilities. 🙂

  13. Good thing we are (temporarily?) in the present. I love that you took the time to look up that little lizard, by the way. I thought I was the only one who sees something and has to immediately figure out what I’m looking at. (That was yesterday’s post, I think, but I was out all day yesterday and didn’t get a chance to look at anything until today).

    Love the table outside. They used to do that here too — but then there was COVID and we aren’t back to anything like really normal. I’m hoping we get out of this endless loop, but it will take more than us to get there.

    Autumn is rushing at us now, finally. About two weeks late, but summer lingers longer than it did and it is warmer than it used to be. Supposedly we get cold weather tomorrow and THAT should do it!

    1. Like you I am hoping we are going to get out of this endless loop – at the moment far too many in the UK seem to think we are out of it and consequently behaving as though there is no pandemic. Our numbers are rising 😦

      ooh we are bizarrely warm here too

    1. It was such a slow start, I was thinking it was going to be a very easy month but then last couple of days! All good though and nothing like it was this time last year 🙂
