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…
One Sunday at the start of February we made the hour-long journey further north to spend the afternoon at Rode Hall in Cheshire. Our previous visit to Rode Hall was in May last year. My birthday is at the beginning of May and I like to make a visit somewhere to see the bluebells as they’re usually in bloom…
I can’t believe another month has flown by already, can you? We’re almost at the end of February, almost at the end of half term, and Spring is just around the corner – yay! I’m joining in with Little Loves again this month to document all the little things I’ve loved throughout February. Read I…
A couple of days ago I went to visit my Dad’s wife Annie (my Stepmum). I haven’t seen her for over a year for various reasons…partly my work schedule getting in the way but also, if I’m truthful, because I find it really difficult going to their flat. Dad’s ashes are still there as we…
It’s crept up on me a bit this year. I didn’t expect that. Last year I was full of the anticipation of the day arriving, the anniversary of the day I got the phone call to say that you were gone. I thought it would be the same this year, that I’d be waiting, in…
The first Thursday in February every year is a very special evening… it’s Harry Potter Book Night! Our local branch of Waterstones always holds a brilliant event in celebration of all things Harry Potter related, and other bookshops and libraries all over the globe put on special events for fans young and old. Last year Ella and I went…
A couple of weekends ago, on one of our regular-as-clockwork Saturday morning trips to the local library to make sure that Ella (our resident bookworm) was stocked up with enough books to last her for the whole week, I spotted a small display near the self check-out machines. Whilst the girls were choosing their books I wandered…

January is a funny old month. It’s deep midwinter, the fun and excitement of Christmas is over and the promise of Spring is still a little too far away to feel tangible. It’s dark and grey and cold and, if you’re anything like me, it can be hard to summon up to motivation to do…
I’ve been blogging for about nine months now and even though I’ve connected with as many people as I can in the blogging community, (everyone has been so incredibly lovely and welcoming – thank you all!) I still feel a little bit like ‘the new girl’. I’m an introvert by nature, so I’m not that great naturally at…
