Way back in January, when I first learned that I’d been chosen out of nearly 5,000 people as the winner of a place at Leap Retreat, all I could focus on was the time I’d be spending in the Rocky Mountains with the other attendees, soaking up anything and everything we could about photography from our incredible…
I’ve been home from Leap Retreat for a month. A whole month! That’s almost unfathomable to me. It seems like it was only a couple of days ago that I was enveloped in the beautiful, magical place that is the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, and yet at the same time it seems so far away and so long ago…
It’s felt like a funny old half term. We missed most of it because of being on holiday in Florida, and lost the second half of it to jet lag. Of course it was totally worth it, it’s just left me feeling a little out of the loop season-wise. It definitely hasn’t felt like Halloween!…
This month’s Little Loves post was always going to be all about our family trip to Florida. It feels strange to be writing that when I remember that September’s post was written whilst I was in Denver, Colorado for Leap Retreat. Considering we haven’t been abroad for four years, to have been able to say yes to two incredible adventures in…
Back at the end of the summer holidays (which feels like forever ago now as I sit here finally writing about it mid-October!) we all bundled into the car and headed down to Southampton for a couple of days to visit my best friend Rachel and her husband James. We had a brilliant time and…
One of my best friends, who I have known since I was seven years old, lives in Southampton – about 160 miles south of where we live. She and her husband have come up to visit us for a weekend a few times in the past and we always have a lot of fun – the girls adore…
Thanks to the nature of his job, the husband is usually at work at some point on a Saturday. Sometimes I use that time to catch up on necessary errands and life admin and housework whilst the girls have some much-needed downtime to spend reading, playing games, doing some colouring and drawing or watching a…
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 created this blog as a way…
I sit writing this in a hotel room in Denver, Colorado. It’s Friday morning here, though if you’re reading this back home in England it’ll already be the afternoon. It still doesn’t quite feel real, even though I spent the whole of yesterday – 19 hours in total – travelling to get here, leaving the house at…
It feels strange to be writing about our adventures at Chester Zoo now, considering that we’re well over half way through September already. After all, it was back at the start of August that we visited for the day. I almost decided not to bother and then several things made me change my mind: we had such…
