I usually love September: chilly mornings; sun-warmed afternoons; golden evening light; the leaves just beginning to change colour whilst plenty of green still remains.

Back at the start of July 2022 I spent four days in Chicago for ClickAway, a photography conference run by Click Community. It was my second time attending – my first was ClickAway Atlanta back in March 2020, right before the world shut down (quite literally – I landed back home in the UK just…

There have been school trips and appointments and social get-togethers and sport events for the girls; a weekend away in Leeds watching cricket for Neil; our 8 year wedding anniversary, plus all the usual school-and-work-and-life-admin to navigate. Here are all…
On my 33rd birthday six years ago, I wrote a post called ‘40 things Before I’m 40‘. It was a list of forty things that I want to do, achieve and experience before I turn forty years old in 2023. I’d originally started the list when I turned thirty but I hadn’t launched my blog at…
In April 2022 we headed down to our happy place by the sea for our annual Easter visit to Bude in North Cornwall. You can read all about what we got up to in the first half of the week here. This post covers our adventures during the second half of the week, when we…
