A fun, chillaxed bank holiday weekend was bookened with visits from two of my favourite people. On Thursday my nephew Noah, who turns one next month, called over so that his mum and I could have catch up chats. Then on Sunday I had a babysitting date with his big brother Ethan, while his mum [...]

I adore lavender. Aside from the gorgeous calming smell (I keep a vase of dried lavender by my bed), and its amazing soothing qualities (try the Calming Blend at Wall & Keogh), I also love shooting it. Something about the straight lines of the stems, the soft, hazy purple tones, and the possibility that a [...]

Some more pics from Treebones, California, following yesterday’s post. After watching the sun rise, Ben and I wandered off for breakfast, which included home-made muesli, and fresh batter so you could make your own waffles. Then we went for a wander around the gorgeous grounds and into their organic gardens, where lots of what we’d [...]

At last, I’m beginning to post shots from my trip to California with Ben earlier this year! I’m going to start halfway through the trip, with some shots from our stay at Treebones Resort. It’s a self-sustained ‘glamping’ resort along the Big Sur California. There are no rooms – instead we stayed in ‘yurts’, which are [...]

Some pics from my trip to London last weekend. Highlights included the amazing Burough Market, some sightseeing down the Thames and a trip to the Natural History Musuem, where Ben and I seriously geeked out. Pics below!  

Litte being the operative word here. Just a quick post to wish you all a very happy, relaxing, lovely Christmas and sparkling, fun-filled new year. I’ll be spending the day with my family, including my much doted-on nephews –  this little bundle of cuteness, and his very excited three year old brother who is getting [...]

It’s been a tough few weeks, and particularly a tough few days, for lots of people. I’ve been super busy and not posting here as often as I’d like – this blog is a little solace for me, and it hadn’t occurred to me that it gives others pleasure too. I got a really lovely [...]

Hola! My poor camera and blog have been a wee bit abandoned these past few weeks but I’m delighted to be back hanging out with both. I absolutely love this time of year. The leaves, the gorgeous golden tones, the pretty autumnal bokeh. Drool, the bokeh… Anyway. Some shots from a recent trip to Phoenix [...]

At 4.44am on Saturday 18th June, my sis welcomed Noah into the world. Isn’t he gorgeous? He weighed in at just over 9lbs and is just over 52cms long. I am, once again, a super proud auntie. Ethan has been very gentle and lovely to his new baby brother so far, offering him his teddy bears [...]

Blue skies, sunny haze and flare, great friends, pretty dappled light. Please make there be more days like these this summer.   P.S. The title to this post comes from this very brilliant Elbow song.
