Following the positive responses last week I am sticking with Mr Linky.
From an organisational point of view, this is by far the easiest to use, and for a technologically challenged person like myself it is the answer.
How to participate in ABC Wednesday.
1. Post your P picture on your blog.
2. Come to my blog and sign in on Mr. Linky
3. Enjoy the beautiful P pictures of the other bloggers.
Please do not sign your name on Mr. Linky unless you have a P picture posted on your blog
Please leave a comment here and a link back to this blog.
P is for.......
Yesterday we went to Bridlington, enjoying the sunshine.
Our favourite 60's cafe has some original one arm bandits which I thought you would enjoy.
Exchanging my £1 coin for a cup of old pennies I spent a while down memory lane!
Whilst at the cafe I looked for other "P"s too...
Remember Sargeant Pepper?
It is a famous biker cafe...scooters too!(P Reg!)
No fighting between the mods and rockers however!
Were you a mod or a rocker?
It was a busy day!
P for Pride!
A long time ago
A million years BC
The best things in life
Were absolutely free.
But no one appreciated
A sky that was always blue.
And no one congratulated
A moon that was always new.
So it was planned that they would vanish now and them
And you must pay before you get them back again.
That's what storms were made for
And you shouldn't be afraid for
Every time it rains it rains
Pennies from heaven.
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven.
You'll find yor fortune falling
All over town.
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down.
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers.
If you want the things you love
You must have showers.
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree.
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

We are enjoying a few days out on the motorbike, so do pop back for more photographs over the next few days.
Today we have just returned from the Lakes. Look where we had lunch LOL!

Denise, those pictures of the one armed bandits are amazing!!! They are actually works of art, aren't they?
I am sort of and sort of not playing ABC Wednesday this week. I don't have one of my photographs on my blog, but people are welcome to visit me.
Have a great Wednesday!
Cheers,
Josie

I'm posting alphabet pictures but on Quilly's schedule not this one.
I was a HUGE fan of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band... still am, come to think of it... LOL great P's you have and I think Pepsi Cola is the best! Wooohooo!

Hi Denise: Thanks for stopping by my blog. I do visit you every day, but sometimes you have so many comments I take pity on you and don't write so you don't have to make so many calls. Your 60's Coffee Bar: is it near the harbor or on Hilderthorpe road? I see the sun was out. Our good weather has gone to the dogs. May is our May Grey month. It always looks like it's going to rain, but it doesn't. It's overcast from the ocean. We have June Gloom next month.
Great, esp. the pride one. thanks for sharing. Good day from HK. ;)
A very interesting compilation of "P"s really! I especially liked very much the penny machines! Sixties indeed! :)
Mine is up too! Please use the Google translator at the right side of my webpage if you need translation from French to English.

That was a cute poem! I liked all your P's!! mine are up too.
I had a Rocker boyfriend with an Ariel Square Four.... but I secretly hankered after a Mod!
I've been meaning to participate in ABC Wednesday for ages so I decided to go for it today :)
Looks like a fun outing. You DO enjoy your motorcycle, and the gas mileage is a good thing right now.
I love penny machines. It sounds like a great cafe.
OK! "Louis la Vache" checking in here for ABC Wednesday! "Louis" seems to have captured someone praying that "Louis" wouldn't take his photo....
What a fine selection of "P"-theme photos you've posted!
À bientôt!
Great collection of P's for today. I loved the Lake District the day I went through and it was even raining! Want to go back when it's sunny, though.
Wow, you really covered this letter.
I love this post, Mrs. Nesbitt. Wonderful from beginning to end. Thanks! And I'm glad to be using Mr. Linky again.
Hi Denise! I am always amazed at what I DON'T think of! Nice choices.
What a fun post. A walk down memory lane is always enjoyable. Great Choice
My first ABC is up - I went for pennies too! I love this post - very varied. Ahhh Sergeant Pepper...
I'm on Mr. Linky twice - sorry :( Please delete 36 as it just had my initial C. I don't know what I did there...
Love the Lakes. I've been to Pooley Bridge more times than I care to remember! Hope you have a great Wednesday.
Love all those P's.
Nice Petunia masthead also.
Thanks for hosting.
P is Posted.
Come visit,
Troy and Martha
wow...you have lots of P photos :D Great shots for all of them.
My P post in here Thanks
I would love to visit this cafe and relive the Past. Those one-arm bandits are museum Pieces. If you go to Las Vegas these days, there are Probably more Penny machines than other coins.
Great post, Denise. So many great P choices. And yes, I remember the Beatles:)
Come over to my blog and find your hobbitname :D
Great choices for P. I have mine up and also the one from last week I missed when I took a week off from blogging. Come and see my choices.
A penny for your thoughts if I tell you that I made a special contribution to the ABC Wednesday this morning. Not with a P though, but with a text in Swedish with Ä for ätbart.
Nice post.
I could post a pic about "Peace street" in Troyes too.
Give peace a chance !
Lot of good P words in your post.
I once again selected just one and left rest for the future rounds.
My favorite for this round was Porontimajoki wilderness cabin in Kuusamo, Finland.

So many nice pictures for the ABC!Mine is up to! Have a beautyful day:)
We certainly ought to pay at least a Pound (and not a penny) for your thoughts!
Charming photos from Penny Falls cafe and Bridlington.
Enjoy your trips on the motorbikes the next days.
Happy Wednesday and happy ABC! :)
So long, take care.
Ida
What an excellent day out you had filled with P's - lol!
I too remember the penny banbits.
Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts
Blue

Lots of 60's nostalgia here; great P post.

You have a super P post.
A very nostalgic post - hope you are having a grand time!!
I'm up and enjoying your post so much. And the Milton!
Happy Wednesday, Denise.
You found a great selection of Ps - well done! Looks like a great day out, too.
I'm finally back and getting organised, so mine's up and I'll be visiting soon.
Great set of P's this week, we always had fun at the penny machines!
Denise, two things, love your P post, very creative (I'm a rocker), and I love your new banner.
Great photos, I looooved the penny machines! And of course, Sgt. Pepper, one of the coolest Beatles albums for me. My post is already at http://bringingupsalamanders.blogspot.com/2008/05/abc-wednesday-p.html
Kisses from Nydia.
PS: the poem above is beautiful!
Nice! I used to love being allowed to go into the arcade and spend (lose) my pennies!
Hi Mrs. Nesbit, mine's up (though don't know if I need to say that with mr Linky?)
Love your retro style P's!
Very varying pics!
You always come up with so many great photos each week. Your "p's" are great.
Mine's up.Sorry this comment is brief. Having a frantic day!
My dear Mrs. Nesbitt, you have really outdone yourself today. I like "Pennies Only" best.
Nancy (Mine is Posted)
Penny machines! Hehe! I remember seeing those in the arcade at the fair on Sheerness Seafront... it's all built on now, with a MacDonalds and a TEsco. Sigh....
Mine's up. LAte again! I did "purple".
Wonderful selection of P's. Loved the penny arcade. Memories, memories!
Dear Mrs Nesbitt, I'm always late..... I could finally write a post about my neighborhood in Montpellier, which is called La Pompignane.
I like your collection of one-arm bandits (although I have never "used" one). Your photos are great!
Yes, Mrs. N. you are Post Perfect today! Loved it! Such good memories.
P is for Palace over my way.
I liked your P post today especially the old Pepsi sign and the pennies. I acutally had 2 P posts today. I couldn't get a photo uploaded so I did a 2nd one. So my 1st choice became my 2nd choice.
Nice trip back in time.Must have been fun on your P scavenger hunt. I had planned a different post and then I shared a pint and I had to go with it.
Sorry I am late this week. Had a computer crash and almost didn't have a photo to submit. Love what you have as usual. Enjoy your day!
It's my first time participating in ABC Wednesday's...I love the idea and am enjoying all the P photos! ( I signed Mr. Linky as Canadian Karyne!!! )
It's still Wednesday here, barely and mine is finally up.
I love all of your P photos this week.
takes me to bygone days how swet a post !!
