Texture Tuesday: the last of the summer chives
It’s ages since I did a texture Tuesday (and a fair while since I last blogged) but I was inspired at lunchtime by these chives which I picked from our very sad and bedraggled looking herb garden. The camera was already in the kitchen as I was talking pictures of the rock cakes that I…
Read MorePuddled thinking
On wet dull days I find myself looking down for pictures. This morning in the aftermath of the heavy rain that we had yesterday the roads were wet and covered in leaves and detritus. As you may have spotted I love taking photos of puddles and the reflections in them. There is a very powerful…
Read MoreLovely Lincoln!
Saturday 21st September was a very significant day for our family as it was the day that our son Tom left home for University. We all of course had very mixed feelings – excited and sad at the same time (and maybe a little relieved that we would not have to keep banging on the…
Read MoreMorning walk: 7 October 2013
We are truly lucky with the weather at the moment. Once again this morning was glorious with crystal blue skies and warm sunshine. It was also very still and it was just amazing to hear two swans as they flew over head – see if you can spot them in one of the pictures below!…
Read MoreDead sunflowers
I love cut flowers but I’m notoriously bad at getting rid of them once they are past their best and they are often to be found drooping and dropping their petals all over the floor! However I also love to photograph dead flowers and foliage (as you may have noticed from some of my previous…
Read MoreA key lost in mists of mellow fruitfulness!
Following my last post writing about the end of the summer, the start of Autumn has brought us some lovely warm sunny weather. The early mornings have been very seasonal with gentle mists of mellow fruitfulness and it’s been lovely walking the country lanes. Yesterday morning I was in my usual Monday daze and I…
Read MoreSummer’s end
As I type the realisation that summer really has ended is beginning to set it. Last night I cracked out my warm pyjamas and bed socks and it won’t be long before the winter duvet comes back out of the airing cupboard. Still we can’t complain – we really did have a lovely summer for…
Read MoreOn the farm – exhibiting at the Dragonfly Gallery
Jen-Dee Farm is a smallholding on the outskirts of the Norfolk village of Ovington and is run by husband and wife Geoff and Kate Smith. In early August this year I visited the farm to take photographs for the Wayland Partnership Plough to Plate exhibition. Their smallholding is a great example of a farm that…
Read MorePearl barley and feta bake
OK – I’m back with a vengeance with lots of recipes, photos and photoshopping ideas! Today I thought I’d hop on the meat-free Monday train with this lovely vegetarian twist on the frittata packed full of green goodness and tangy cheese. Pearl barley has enjoyed a bit of a renaissance of late and is now…
Read MoreWalk with a purpose
We just about in the middle of the school holidays but sadly we’re not going to be able to get away anywhere this year for a lot of reasons. There is a lot to keep us here this week. Firstly my daughter Reya is in the middle of getting her braces fitted. So far this…
Read MoreThoughts for a friend
The focus of my thoughts for the last few days have been centred around a dear friend who has been admitted quite suddenly to hospital for a major operation. She had to stay in for several days to recover so I have been sending her messages and thoughts which she was able to read on…
Read MoreMorning walk – 22nd July
It would be fair to say that I haven’t been very motivated to write and post much just lately. I’m still walking in the mornings and taking lots of photos on my new “phone friend” as well as driving every one nuts by taking pictures with my lovely 6D 1.4 50mm combo in the kitchen…
