April was a month of two halves. The first two weeks – the Easter holidays – went SO fast and the second half of the month felt like it dragged on forever. It still astonishes me how time stretches and expands and shrinks and contracts on a minute by minute basis at the moment, let…
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…
I always welcome March with open arms after the annual challenges that February brings. The arrival of Spring, the world starting to wake up and the light beginning to reappear makes such a difference in so many ways – mood, energy levels, motivation and more. Neil returned home from his epic three-week long trip to…

In the summer holidays of August 2022 we drove down south from where we live in the Midlands, hopped on a ferry and headed across the Solent for an Isle of Wight family holiday. We spent a week exploring the island and made lots of memories together, all of which I’ve added to the cluster…
When I was a little girl, somewhere around seven years old (at a guess), my Mum and I went on holiday to the Isle of Wight, just the two of us, and had the best time exploring together. I’ve been wanting to go back and re-visit the island for years and years, particularly now that…
