Half term fun, an utterly glorious week of ‘false Spring’ (that I’m now mourning the loss of), spectacular skies and the end of the fifth full year of capturing a moment of joy every single day – I think that pretty much sums up this collection of Project Happy images. I honestly never thought I’d…
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…
February has been weird. It’s usually my least favourite month as it’s the time of year I associate most with my Dad – his birthday plus the anniversaries of his death and his funeral all take place in February.

My thoughts keep wandering off ahead to our upcoming big trip to Boston and Cape Cod later this Spring, as well as nostalgically…
Truthfully? I’m finding the lack of outdoor adventures these last couple of months particularly hard. Being outside, even when it’s freezing cold and I can’t feel my fingers or toes or face, is absolutely vital for my mental wellbeing. It feels like such a waste of time staying inside when we could be out making…

Happy moments from some time back at the beginning of January: new growth; pretty light; home improvements; slow days; and stepping outside of my comfort zone 🙂
