Theo’s mum kindly let me know that they are planning to re-release some of their jars for The Big Jar Adventure. However, apparently deciding which jars to give away involves UN levels of negotiation because everyone in their six-person family has different favourites. Good luck deciding, you guys.
In the meantime, they keep finding jars…
Jar No 203
Jar No 203 was an easy one but I just couldn’t resist placing the gold next to the beautiful purple clematis flowers.
Kirsty Hall: Jar No 203 in situ, July 2011
I’ve seen or collected a jar: Collected a jar
Number on lid of jar: 203
Your name (optional): Theo’s little brother Max
Date jar found (optional): 23rd June
If you collected a jar, what motivated you to pick it up? (optional):
I was with Theo and Milly and Mummy, we were walking through the
village and as we turned a corner I spotted a jar! Mummy had to reach
for it – it was up high (she nearly couldn’t reach it either). Theo
spotted it at almost the same time as me and we both shouted “Jar!”
Mummy said this was really well spotted as there wasn’t even a clue to
look out for yet!
Where is the jar now? (optional): In the kitchen, it will probably
head for the mantelpiece later.
Theo’s Dad had a good jar day on the 18th – he found two sequential jars.
Jar No 197
Kirsty Hall: Jar No 197, July 2011
I’ve seen or collected a jar: Collected a jar
Number on lid of jar: 197
Your name (optional): Theo’s dad
Date jar found (optional): 18/07/11
If you collected a jar, what motivated you to pick it up? (optional):
I was walking the dogs and just saw it! Love the oil ‘rainbow’.
Where is the jar now? (optional): Snuggled with the others
Jar No 198
Kirsty Hall: Jar No 198, July 2011
I’ve seen or collected a jar: Collected a jar
Number on lid of jar: 198
Your name (optional): Theo’s dad
Date jar found (optional): 18/07/11
If you collected a jar, what motivated you to pick it up? (optional):
After the success of 197 I had a look at your flikr pics and thought I
knew where that one was as well, and there it was. I really love this
one, it looks like an insect floating upside down in water. Well
that’s what I see!
Where is the jar now? (optional): Snuggled with the others
Even more jars
The family also found Jar No 176, Jar No 184 & Jar No 187 back on July 10th.
Kirsty Hall: Jar No 176, June 2011
Kirsty Hall: Jar No 184, July 2011
Kirsty Hall: Jar No 187, July 2011
Jar No 187 had a particularly exciting adventure after it was spotted by Theo’s mum at a rather inopportune moment…
“Milly & I were on our way to the Downs to run the Race for Life when we spotted this jar, 187. I recognised the railings and we were hoping that Theo and his dad and brothers would turn up to cheer us on early in the race. In which case I would have handed them the jar. Sadly they didn’t see us until we’d finished! So jar 187 ran the Race for Life with me! All the way! Milly ran non stop in 35 minutes which I think is brilliant as she is nine years old.”
Look, my jar not only ran a race, it even got a medal!
This project cracks me up sometimes.
