Hello 2019 – better late than never!
News Years resolution 1 – stop procrastinating. Well that failed spectacularly – January 14th and I still haven’t published a single Blog post. I’ve been scribbling things down but until now nothing has made iit onto the virtual page. So here goes – hello 2019! If you look back on this Blog you will see…
And so that was 2018!
AND SO THAT WAS 2018 What a year! Where do I start? As usual I have left it until the very last minute to sort photos for, and write this post, so I’ll just let the photos speak for themselves with just a brief run down of the main highlights! My son Tom graduated from…
In remembrance of Sydney Bacon
I first published this post in 2014 and it seems very fitting to republished today on the 100th anniversary of the armistice. Amazingly my Dad discovered this newspaper amongst his own fathers memorabilia yesterday. This morning I will be going to our local service to remember all of those who perished in this and other…
That was October
This post is a bit late coming after a tempête de merde of a week last week – I won’t go into details but many things decided to conspire against us both personally and in our business so it was not a good time! Thank goodness for yoga! Anyway those who know me know that I’m…
Welcome back pixel palettes
There is something very satisfying about making these palettes! One day i might use them for decorating a room but for the time being I’ll just enjoying playing around with the colours from my photos! Palettes one and two were made from photos from this mornings walk which was dull and damp.
Oxford dreams
Over 10 years ago a little girl had a dream. She dreamed that she would be a writer and that she would study English at Oxford University. Fast forward to October 2018 and that little girl – our daughter Reya – headed off from Norfolk up to take up her place at Trinity College, Oxford…
That was September!
That was September! A lovely warm end of summer and start to the autumn! Lots of big changes a foot at the moment both at home and on the work front. My new yoga business has taken off like I’d never imagined and I have lots more exciting things planned in the coming months. 2up…
A visit from the beast from the East!
I suspect like me you are very bored of hearing about the snow and the beast from the East! However as I type the big thaw is already well underway and it is feeling much warmer in our cold old house! Over the snow days we managed to get out for a few walk –…
A visit to the Om yoga show in London!
Back in June my friend Tracey and I won third prize in the Blossom and Yarn Knitting festival raffle. Sadly it wasn’t enough to retire on but we decided to put aside our winnings and spend it on something we could both enjoy! One of the interests we have shared over time has been yoga…
Print shop open!
I have had quite a lot of interest in my Instagram feed of late and several people have asked about buying prints. So I have set up a gallery where you will be able to buy a section of my most recent images. At the moment I am just offering a couple of options –…
The unveiling of spring
This week has been a mixed bag of weather. It started with the equinox on Monday which was cold and wet and miserable. But as the week has gone on the sun has taken over and slowly but surely things are warming up. As always I’ve been out walking every morning – taking the same…
A whirlwind trip to London
A few weeks ago my daughter Reya and I headed out of the sticks for a whirlwind visit to London. The main purpose of our trip was a gig at the Brixton O2 to see Tom O’Dell (my daughter is a huge fan and I’d bought her tickets back in the early summer on the day…
Foggy Halloween sunrise
It was one of those beautiful ethereal mornings today – with the dew hanging off cobwebs and the sun gradually burning through the heavy fog. Every where I looked there were photos! As usual on my morning walk all of the photos below were taken on my mobile phone.
Shopping, eating and drinking in lovely Norwich!
My daughter and I took a little shopping trip out to Norwich today. We did the usual things – the malls and the big chain stores which were mostly mayhem. However, what I really love about Norwich are the independent shops and cafes. To start with we gave Costa a miss and headed to the Bicycle…
That was September
Mists and mellow fruitfulness and all that jazz. Summer stayed for the whole of September with record temperatures and lots of blue skies. As I type October has arrived grey and wet and my sandled feet are cold…
