Late "R" Scatterdays

I know its late, but I really wanted to do this R Scatterdays. I had it all planned out before I went on
 holidays, but I couldn't get it to upload. So here it is, hope you enjoy it.
The letter is "R" and the list, a mammal, technology, transport and something Red from the quilting/sewing room (the last one will always be quilt/patchwork related)


Ramona, yep me, I'm a mammal! ;-)

The Red Rover. This is my dad with his 1947 Rover. He purchased a Rover like this when he arrived in Australia in 1965, it was bottle green, then for various reasons in1974 he sold it . Then in the late '90's as  retirement was fast approaching he decided that he needed something to keep him little occupied and decided to find himself a Rover to 'do up'. Well, to cut a long story short he found a Red Rover that was already 'done up', he fell in love it, he ummmed and ahhed for a few weeks, went and another look at it, and on closer inspection (under the hood) discovered it was "his" Rover, well that was that, he had to have it!!
Mum says it's the "other" woman!!

 The Radio and Remote

 My Red sewing tin.

See you next Scatterday

Nice to meet you, Ramona!

I love the story about your Dad's Rover. It is a beautiful car, and how could he NOT buy it back when he realised it was his?

I totally agree with your dad..he HAD to have that 'other woman'. Love your red tin..but then I'm a must have lady with great looking containers.

Lovely of you to join us in this fun challenge that Cinzia has cooked up. It's nice to put your face with your name. Lucky you to have such an easy "R"! I bet you'll find, like the rest of us, that "Q" isn't quite that easy. See you next Saturday!

As Joy said, better late than never. Love your Dad's red Rover and your mammal. My DH just had to buy his grandfather's car when it came up on auction so I know how your Dad felt.

That first photo reminded me of a poem by Robert Frost:

The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
