I take hundreds of photos every month, and most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online. And yet the moments in time that those photos capture are just as important a part of our story as the other images that I do choose to share. I originally created this blog as a…
Hello 2021. The start of a brand new year is usually full of anticipation, promise and excitedly scribbled down ideas & plans for the coming months. Instead January began in much the same way as 2020 ended: lockdown number three. Schools closed, shops closed, still unable to see the people we love. It wasn’t what…

November 2020 has been a month of naked trees, drizzly rain and lockdown 2.0. Normally I find that November, the cusp between late autumn and early winter, drags on and on and on. This year has been quite the opposite – I feel like I’ve barely been able to catch my breath in between doing…
We’ve never spent any part of Autumn in Cornwall before, though it’s something we’ve talked a lot about trying one day. Even though we go to Bude every year, we usually prefer to visit during the Easter holidays in April and we have occasionally spent a week there during the summer holidays as well. There’s…
