I'm allowing myself a little emotional moment here

I'm allowing myself a little emotional moment here because I am so enormously proud of these three and what they have achieved. Navigating A Levels, GCSEs and end of first year of uni assessments was not easy for anyone and they each did absolutely brilliantly. It's a bit of a cliche to talk about how my heart feels like it could burst, but that is honestly the best description I have for it.
.
It still astonishes me every single day that the tiny babies that I once held in my arms have become these creative, funny, loving, independent, wise, caring and unique humans who have their own ideas & opinions & thoughts & feelings about things, their own hopes & dreams for the future, their own vastly different paths to journey along. It's wild.
.
I'm so grateful that I get to witness them grow, that I've had the privilege of getting to know every version of them that they've been so far, and that there are infinitely more versions of them that I'll get to meet as they move through the next stages of their lives. Sixth form, moving to uni, and 2nd year of uni...here we come!

I definitely left yet another piece of my heart in Cornwall this year ✨️🌊🫶💙

That's it now for the holiday spam (I think!). Memories of moments that will stay with me forever - a day trip to the wondrous Tintagel, sea swims, clifftop walks and footprints in the sand 👣

I couldn't decide whether I preferred the colour version or the black & white. Which is your favourite?

A little sunset appreciation post because, for me, they will forever be a special kind of magic show put on by nature. And I love magic. And nature. Plus these ones were pretty spectacular even by my standards 🌅✨️

All taken in Brixham on various different nights of our holiday.

Can you see the moon in the very last image? 🌙 There is one sunrise tucked in amongst them too, can you tell which one it is?

This is my view of everyday life in Devon for @around_the_world_2026 - an international collaborative photography project.
This project isn’t about landmarks - it's more about the small, often unnoticed moments that make each place different.

Every night on holiday I'd walk out to the lightho

Every night on holiday I'd walk out to the lighthouse to see the sunset. Sometimes one or more of the girls would come with me, other times I'd be on my own. I never regretted it, no matter how tired I was. Sunsets (and sunrises) are magic to me and the awe & wonder I feel when I get to experience one is something that I'll chase forever. It's one of the very few times that I feel most like 'me', and I often get emotional whilst watching the colours shift and change. Something about this particular moment, this place, made me want to document that, to capture it forever.
.
So, here I am 🌅✌️

(PS no lighthouse emoji?!)

We’re comfortable on the side of the lens no one sees but we struggle to include ourselves in the frame. Follow the loop to see our efforts in making sure we are on #bothsidesofthelens26

The sunset I was watching... Magic ✨️

I, relatively ambitiously, took four books with me

I, relatively ambitiously, took four books with me on holiday and had high hopes of finishing at least two of them. Somehow, I didn't manage to read a single page. Didn't even get them out of my bag 😔
.
The girls did a bit better though! Mimi loved this little suntrap of a patio at the front of the place we were staying and spent ages out there. I couldn't resist capturing this little moment - it's a part of the holiday that I'll always remember.
.
Swipe to see the moment she realised I was there! 📸
