It’s late, it’s been a busy day…here are some shadows shot in our house today…

Advent Blog: 12 Christmas lily

By Debbie Harris | December 12, 2011

Just one image today taken of flowers I received for my birthday at the beginning of the month.  I then modified it by creating a texture, custom brush and finally overlaying some music!  

Advent Blog: 11 Happy months

By Debbie Harris | December 11, 2011

Today my daughter helped make our first mince pies – or  “happy months” as they are called in our family-  of the festive season.  I also made a tray of sausage rolls but they we not around long enough to be photographed!! Thanks to my Mum for the lovely home made mince meat.  

Advent Blog: 10 Frosty footy

By Debbie Harris | December 10, 2011

My son Tom played football for several years from the age of 10 and for virtually every game either Geoff or I were on the touch line taking pictures.  I have to say that I have been feeling very guilty for not doing the same for my daughter who has been playing for Dereham Wanderers…

Advent Blog 9: Christmas past present

By Debbie Harris | December 9, 2011

This Pop star Pelham Puppet was a Christmas present I received a lot longer ago that I care to remember!  It has been stored away in the loft for years and has recently come out with a view to selling it on ebay.  Trouble is the strings really need untangling and I haven’t had the…

Advent Blog: 8 Bleak landscape

By Debbie Harris | December 8, 2011

A bit of a change from the last few posts. It was grey and the wind was howling as I drove out of the village for the school run. At the last minute I thought that I’d throw in the camera to snap the wind and big skies…

Advent Blog: 7 Old truck!

By Debbie Harris | December 7, 2011

I have been on the look out for some vintage crockery for a few Christmas crafty projects and as my son now has a part-time job at Watton Salerooms , I’ve been making the effort to have a good look round for any suitable items at the weekly auction. This week I was pleased to…

Advent Blog: 6 Winter warmer – Jerusalem artichoke soup

By Debbie Harris | December 6, 2011

Way back in the spring my friend Tracey gave me some Jerusalem artichoke tubers – which I duly planted in out little veg patch and then forgot all about them.  Later on in the summer, when what I’d assumed were sunflowers had grown to 10 feet tall, I remembered that was where I planted the…

Advent Blog: 5 Blooming cold!

By Debbie Harris | December 5, 2011

Today it really feels like winter has finally arrived but the garden is still hanging onto the last blooms of summer. All of these shots were taken today … I wonder how much longer they will survive?  

Advent Blog: 4 Roaring fire

By Debbie Harris | December 4, 2011

We have just come back from a lovely Sunday lunch out (a rare treat for us!) at Number 24 in Wymondham.  Now relaxing in front of the fire as someone else is doing the washing up…:)

Advent Blog: 3 Hot chocolate

By Debbie Harris | December 3, 2011

My daughter played football this morning and it was absolutely freezing so we stopped off on the way home for marshmallows and cream so that we could make hot chocolate!  

Advent Blog: 2 Frosty morning

By Debbie Harris | December 2, 2011

  Advent Blog day 2! Since september I have been taking myself out for a walk first thing in the morning as a substitute for the school run that I did for 12 years to the village school.  I am really lucky to have some lovely unspoilt country lanes to wander and on mornings like…

Advent blog: 1 Festival of Christmas trees

By Debbie Harris | December 1, 2011

As my children are now too old for advent calendars, last year I set myself the challenge of posting a picture a day during advent in the run up to Christmas.  I enjoyed it so much the daily photo grew into a 365 project for this year, which was going well until the wedding season…

Wayland Farmers Market

By Debbie Harris | October 5, 2011

Over the years I’ve had a lot of involvement with the Wayland Partnership (the local development and regeneration trust for the Watton area and surrounding villages) as a volunteer for projects, as a partner member of the Partnership group and as a supplier of services on a professional level.  One of the first jobs I…

Outdoor teen portrait shoot with guitar

By Debbie Harris | October 2, 2011

It’s four months since I launched our new photography website  and three months since my last Blog post – so I think you could say – in the words of the subject in these photographs – I’ve been a bit of an “Epic Fail”!  As I type we are still holding onto summer with some…
