Lovely Lucca!
It’s a dull,wet September afternoon. I was going to try and sort out a rather troublesome area of the garden but as it’s raining I thought that I would finally get round to sorting out the rest of our holiday photos of Italy. These were taken of a lovely hot sunny Sunday in Lucca –…
Evening turn around the village
As the evening light was lovely we decided to take a walk around the village to soak up the last few rays of the late summer sunshine. I took the Fuji X-T10 as shot using the Classic chrome film setting which is becoming a favourite I think!
Road trip to Wells!
Sadly the English summer seems to have deserted us here in Norfolk this week. Last week , however we made the most of a lovely warm sunny evening by motoring to the coast from fish and chips and a walk along the beach. We started out in Sheringham but it was really busy with massive…
Road trip to Tuscany – part 1
For the first time in four years we finally made it on holiday abroad as a family. We were really lucky to be able to rent a lovely little house in Northern Tuscany from some friends.and we thought that we would try and save money (ha ha!) by driving down to Italy through France (it…
#shakespeare400
With all the Shakespeare talk that’s been going on this week in the run up to the 400th anniversary of his death, I’ve been trying to remember when I saw my first ever live Shakespeare. I’m fairly confident it was when I was at 6th form and our English group went on a trip to the…
Tsunami cloud over Norfolk
Once again here I am Blogging about the weather! This morning I set of for my walk under brilliant blue skies and just a few wispy clouds in to sky. However behind me I could see the approach of a really dramatic weather front which looked dark and ominous. Over the course of my 40…
Where is spring?
It really is hard to believe that we are nearly a month into spring. The last two days have been cold and very wet and my son tweeted this morning that there had been snow in Lincoln! It got me thinking about a magical family trip to Wells-next-the-sea during the Easter holidays (13 years ago…
Golden hour photo shoot
I’ve lost my way a bit with blogging of late. I’ve lots of ideas but most stay either on my PC or in my head! My son Tom is home from Uni at the moment and yesterday we had a really great sunset after a lovely sunny day. We made the most of it by rushing…
At the car wash!
I was the weird woman taking photos inside the car wash this morning – rather arty don’t you think!!
That was January
My poor Blog has been very neglected over the past few months. We had so much going on here that I sort of lost my way and my Blogging mojo. However 2016 is well and truly here and I’m planning to get back into the swing of things again. So as a bit of a…
Lemony pheasant
As I type the house is filling with the lovely lemony smell of this fab but simple dish! In case you’re wondering the photos you see here are of a previous incarnation – known in the trade as one that I made earlier! Being a Norfolk country girl pheasant has always been a favourite…
Autumn…
Life is very hectic at the moment so Blogging has taken a back seat – I have lots of ideas that are still firmly in my head but have managed to take photos! So here is Autumn so far…
Happy birthday beautiful daughter!
Yesterday our daughter turned 16. For her birthday she wanted a record payer and records- how lovely to go analogue in this digital age
Blackcurrant and blueberry jam therapy
Life has been very hectic over the past few weeks to say the least ! Work has been manic and we have my mother in law Dora living with us as she is very frail and her previous living situation became intolerable. She was doing really well until a couple of weeks ago when she suffered another…
Rainy Summer Sunday – so let’s make lime and coconut cake!
It’s a summer Sunday washout! It’s cold and it’s pouring with rain which has scuppered my plans for some weekend gardening. Instead I’ve been pottering the kitchen, listening to Cerys at Womad and making this ridiculously simple, but delicious cake. The addition of some extra virgin coconut oil makes it super coconutty and and provides a healthy…
