The end of January is in sight, it’s light until 4.30pm now and Spring is just a month away. It’s been a busy couple of weekends and that has helped what usually feels like the longest month pass by a little quicker than usual. I’m not normally one to wish the time away but I…
Adventures have been few and far between this month. January has been grey and wet and cold – which I guess is to be expected for the midwinter month – and despite our best efforts we’ve really only been out properly as a family on one Sunday over the last four weeks. Sunday is the…
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…
I always find January to be a bit of a contradictory month. In some ways I feel sad that the joy of the Christmas festivities is over and yet another part of me can’t wait to get the decorations down, get back to normality (for a little while anyway) and embrace the slower pace. Likewise,…
Back in October we took the holiday-of-a-lifetime to Walt Disney World in Florida, staying at the fabulous Balmoral Resort. We’d saved up for (quite literally) years to be able to do it, making the big decision to take the trip to The Magic Kingdom rather than use our hard-earned savings towards the deposit on a…
It’s been a slow but quietly productive start to the year. My 2018 intention of ‘taking action’ is fresh in my mind and I’m getting things done, spending my days methodically ticking things off my to-do list. It feels good. As a result there are no spectacular photographs to share, just ordinary moments of beauty…
When I was a child, I don’t think I was really aware that Walt Disney World was a real place. Of course I grew up watching all the films (my favourites were Aladdin and The Little Mermaid) and I knew all the words to every song but I didn’t know that there was an actual…

We are halfway through January already and, as ever, I’m not really sure where the weeks have gone. They seem to have passed by in a bit of a fog of flu (the husband, Ella and Lola this time – Mimi had it over Christmas and thoughtfully shared it with them. I’m still germ-free thank…
This installment of #projecthappy covers the end of one year and celebrates the start of a brand new one in the form of 2018. In reality they’re just man-made numbers and dates which, in the grand scheme of things, don’t really mean anything. And yet we as humans have a habit of making this transition…
