The start of April and the lead up to the Easter holidays was ridiculously busy with both school and work and my brain was so full that I had no headspace to do anything other than get through each day. I switched off as much as I could during our annual trip to Cornwall and…
It has been an absolutely mad few weeks. A flying visit to Spain for my Grannie’s funeral; a nasty tummy bug that flattened both Mimi and the husband for several days; ongoing issues with the kitchen repair/refurbishment following the fire seven weeks ago; the logistics of managing multiple after school club/sports/rehearsal commitments; plus a crazy…
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 originally created this blog as a…
A weird week full of illness and sad news and big decisions and trying to keep up with crazy school and sport and work schedules. A very ordinary collection of photographs but capturing each one really has helped me survive these last few days. Sometimes it’s the little things that matter the most.
I’ll be honest. Life has been a bit…challenging, recently. Looking forward to our annual trip to our happy place in Cornwall is one thing currently keeping me going. The other thing is this project.

The first half of February seemed to disappear in the blink of an eye and now here we are almost at the end of the month already. The theme for this edition of Project Happy seems to be the beautiful light we’ve been having recently – I’ve never known February to be anything other than…
January has morphed into February, the promise of Spring is just around the corner and things are changing. I can feel it. Spectacular skies have been a welcome regular occurrence though day to day we’ve really just been keeping our heads down and quietly getting on with life. These images show that there is still…
Truthfully? I’m finding the lack of outdoor adventures these last couple of months particularly hard. Being outside, even when it’s freezing cold and I can’t feel my fingers or toes or face, is absolutely vital for my mental wellbeing. It feels like such a waste of time staying inside when we could be out making…
