Kate – Thanks, Kate – Happy New Year to you, too!

Mr N – I wouldn’t know! Mr Yellow Swordfish has tried it and says it’s nothing special. How modest of him.

Jenn – Thank you, how kind! I always feel sorry for dodos, though it’s pointless now. But a Jasper Fford novel in 3D? Please … NOOOOOOOO!!!! I can’t read him I’m afraid. Does it sound odd coming from me that I find him too silly? LOL!

Ethelmaepotter – Thanks! Well, ABC Wednesday isn’t mine, it belongs to Mrs Nesbitt, and as you see, lots of people play, but I enjoy the challenge. I’ve done random objects around the house and garden, and I’ve done archives, now I’m wondering what to do next. Maybe something with greyhounds, or perhaps I’ll try to find pictures with something suggesting the letter in them – as many people have done with ‘X’. Watch this space!

Oh, and you should try joining in! It’s fun, and you can always drop out again, or just do the letters you fancy.

Happy New Year!

Totally fascinating. At one time, before I discovered your blog, I had considered doing something similar to your alphabet days, but my first thought was, “Oh, I’d never be able to find anything for x, except for xylophone and xray!” You’ve certainly proven me wrong!
Happy New Year!

Heya, Jay- Lovely job there with “X”– not and easy one and you did it elegantly.

I’m fond of the dodos, real or not. It’s like seeing a Jasper Fforde novel in 3-D.

I hope you have a wonderful 2010!!

Tumblewords – I like to visit museums now and then. I find them fascinating.

Baino – ROFL!! A couple of Bongos? I dare not ask. :p

Meleah, Barb and Hildred – Thanks! yes, he is something, isn’t he? Hard to believe such an electric blue could be natural, but it is.

Rinkly Rimes – Sounds like a made-up name, doesn’t it? But no, Tring is a real place. And yes, that sailfish is gorgeous, isn’t he? Such colours!

Jama – Thanks – yes, it’s great fun.

Geri – Haha! Yes, I’m sure it would be allowed so long as the dog was properly cared for. We do street collections with Sid, and meet and greets, and sometimes he wears his donation jacket.

Jabblog – Thank you! Yes, visit if you can – it’s fascinating!

Wonderfully informative and amusing post! What a great museum to visit – I must remember it if I ever visit Tring.
