Ad disclosure: This is a collaborative post. Few things can preserve precious memories of your loved ones quite like a family photo can. All generations of the family may want to revisit moments when the older children were still just babies, or see how much a set of siblings has grown over the years. One …
After lockdown ended I made the decision to sell my beloved but admittedly dusty Canon G7X camera as for everyday photography I was finding myself reaching out for my iPhone more & more often, especially once I upgraded to my present model which has 2x zoom and portrait mode. With the money from the sale …
We have got a bumblebee nest in our garden at the moment! I am so pleased, and their gentle presence in the garden is so lovely. The previous owner of the house was evidently an avid gardener as our back garden is a riot of colour, flowering constantly from Spring ’till Autumn. The bees love it!
There is nothing quite as special as a big empty box, when you’re a little child with a big imagination. We are hosting a jigsaw puzzle twitter party on Tuesday, and a huge pile of jigsaws was delivered to us in this box. They weren’t able to go safely back into the box until we need …
We spent a week in Cornwall in July, and my parents garden is full of beautiful flowers at the moment – from the day we arrived I was itching to get out there with my camera to snap some pics. We also visited the Eden Project while we were down and I spent a few …
Not an artistic photograph this week, but rather something that made me smile. I spotted this outside a coffee shop this week. I’m definitely a coffee fan so I do like to sit and enjoy a coffee – and I certainly don’t operate properly in the mornings until I’ve got one down me!
We visited a garden centre yesterday with my Mother-in-Law for lunch (at an amazing hidden gem of a cafe I intend to blog about soon!) and I spotted this candle holder in amongst the pretty things for sale. I didn’t buy it, or even look at the price tag, as I have nowhere to put this sort of thing, but I couldn’t resist snapping a quick photograph. I just loved the colours and shape of this beautifully created piece-of-art-with-a-function.
Tigger is one of our two cats – isn’t he handsome? After not seeing Roo and Tigger for ages as someone else has been letting them in and feeding them (they both reek of smoke when they come by our house), we have resorted to switching them onto Whiskas pouches – crack for cats. The first …
I snapped this one quickly with my iPhone 5S as I walked up our front path with the kids. The council maintained flower beds next to the path are a riot of colour at the moment and a whole huge bush is flowering with these beautiful flowers. I am itching to get out there with my …
There was a full moon on Thursday, so I had a go at capturing it (kneeling on a windowsill in just my pants & vest top, with zoom lens poking out the window – sorry, neighbours!). I took this around midnight, when the moon finally decided to show itself above the houses in the street …
