A whole month behind with sharing these and refusing to let that bother me. The moments are no less important for having been put on hold for a while. I still feel what I felt when I first captured them, and that’s all that matters. Little pockets of happiness from the start of July…
It’s become a little bit of a tradition that we escape on holiday for the first week of the summer holidays. As soon as the final bell of the academic year rings, we’re swapping school uniforms for comfy clothes, grabbing ready-packed suitcases and heading down (or up!) the motorway to the airport to catch a…
Cornwall is jam-packed full of a huge range of National Trust sites: beautiful gardens; impressive houses; wild beaches and idyllic countryside walks. The vast majority of them are located along the county’s breathtakingly rugged coastline. We have already explored some (Boscastle, Northcott Mouth beach and Morwenstow’s ‘Hawker’s Hut’ – the National Trust’s smallest property –…
The days seem to be slipping away from me once more and I’ve fallen behind (again) with sharing these. It’s now July! I know it’s a cliché but how is that even possible? The end of the school year is in sight and I’m looking forward to the big exhale that we’ll all do when…

Joyful moments from mid-June: sunrises; flowers; pretty light and adventures with my girls all make for a very happy Chloe…
June seems to have passed by quite quickly and I’m not entirely sure how we’re halfway through the year already. I said that to someone the other day and their response was to cheerfully let me know that “it’ll be Christmas before we know it!”. Um, no. Just, no. In contrast to the last four…
A couple of weeks ago I shared Part One of our family holiday to Bude, documenting the first half of our adventures in our happy place by the sea. This post, Part Two, covers the second half of our family holiday to Bude, including the bonus days we were lucky enough to be gifted by…
It rained endlessly for the whole of the first half of June. Non-stop. It made the post-adventure blues slightly more tricky to overcome but, on the whole, the process of settling back into school and work and normal routines after our trip to Boston was easy enough, with no real jet lag to speak of…
