At the start of January I began a new year-long photography project: Life In 52. The idea is simple – to take one photo a week for each week of the year. It’s a lifestyle photography project, documenting little snippets of my life that I want to remember. The project is being hosted by Sarah…
A mostly Italian edition of #projecthappy this time, following our adventure to Lake Maggiore during the first week of the summer holidays. It truly is an absolutely spectacular place with incredible scenery, a different pace of life and plenty of places to explore – we’ve each come home with a ton of new memories. In…

I’m actually currently sat on the balcony of our…

In May half term we embarked on our first ever mini family road trip through Somerset, Dorset and Hampshire, visiting family and friends and staying for a couple of days in each place. You can read all about our time at a beautiful, wisteria-covered farmhouse in Somerset in Part One; our first ever experience of…
We are so close to the end of the school year now and our calendar is full to busting with end of term events and activities – there has been literally at least one thing every single day this last week. It’s fun, but the girls are exhausted and we’re all looking forward to a…
