This jar has gone out a little late unfortunately, I've had a bad week health wise but got there in the end. I went a little further out of my area for this walk, thought i'd go explore a new part I don't visit much.
A little extra clue for this one as I loved this. If you find it you're in the right area




Happy Hunting!

Jar Number 20

Jar Number 20 



Week 20, wow. Okay so this weeks Jar has a section from one of my favourite poems in it. I carry your heart by ee cummings.


I carry your heart with me(I carry it in
my heart)I am never without it(anywhere
I go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)

  I fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)I want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)

Most people come across poetry in school or in a book. I on the other hand tend to pick up poems from TV shows and Movies. This one comes from a typical chick flick In Her ShoesThis particular movie features two beautiful poems. The above and a lovely one by Elisabeth Bishop called One Art which I urge you to also read.
I love emotive poetry and find it a great source of comfort to read other, better peoples takes on something I am also feeling.

A lot has happened, changed, this week. I am going to move soon and this week I found a flat to move into. All the stress, excitement and inevitable buyers remorse has done my head in a bit. But this project has given me something else to focus on and I am grateful. I can see that it is going to get harder to do this project in the next few weeks. With all the paperwork and moving I may lose focus a but. But I am determined to carry on. If only to explore my new surroundings while placing jars. It's going to be a great way of finding my barrings in a new place.

Happy Hunting!

Jar Number 19

Jar Number 19 



This Jar is a mix off a few projects put together. A few years ago for M.E Awareness week a friend started a wall hanging project in local libraries and sent out pieces for everyone to decorate. The contents of this jar is a replica of one of the pieces I sent in.

So out I went in the mad wind to place number 19. My hair brought a whole new meaning to the words wind swept and interesting. I even got knocked over in the wind while crouching down to take this photo.

I've had a bit of a rough week health wise, hence why this jar is so late going out. But the good part about this project is that it keeps me occupied even when sick. I have fun lying in bed making jars and thinking of all the places I could place them. All the nooks and crannies I have come across over the years :) 


I saw these on my way back and just thought they were brilliant, I can't see how they are attached to the floor. So how do they stand up???
It's a mystery........

Happy Hunting!

Jar Number 18

Jar Number 18 

  

This Jar doesn't photograph to well, it's a lot cooler than this in real life. 
Its a 3D version of a photo I took a few years ago of a bubble caught in the undergrowth.

This has to be my shortest Jar walk so far, it was so hot and bright today. I couldn't make it far so this one only just made it round the corner.  Still I like it's new home and it is pretty easy to spot for eager eyed hunters.

Happy Hunting!
