The end of term and the start of the summer holidays. One of my favourite times of the year – six whole weeks of fun and family time stretching out ahead of us. Slow mornings and adventurous afternoons. Less responsibilities and restrictions and routine. More freedom and spontaneity and joy. (Probably Definitely more bickering and…
The beginning of July feels like forever ago and yet the month seems to have gone really quickly – how is it the 1st of August already?! We are currently almost at the end of the second week of the six week summer holidays and they are disappearing far too fast for my liking. We’ve…
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.

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…
