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?!)

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! 📸

✨️ Year 11 Prom 2026 ✨️
.
These girls 💙❤️🩷
.
Their friendship has spanned years, both inside and outside of school, and they've been through countless challenges, milestones and big life events together.
.
Whenever they're together and I happen to overhear snippets of their conversations, it's always a beautiful mixture of positivity, encouragement, compliments, cheering one another on and supporting each other. Plus dissolving into giggles every few minutes (which might be one of my most favourite sounds in the world).
.
They've been looking forward to Prom for months and it ended up being everything they wanted it to be as they celebrated the end of an era. From getting ready together all the way through to midnight McDonalds and playing board games until 1am, it ended up being a night that I hope they and the rest of their friends all remember forever.

A few favourite photos from a little daytrip to Lo

A few favourite photos from a little daytrip to London with Ella, which was somehow already a month ago?!
.
We explored Portobello Road Market; the colourful houses of Notting Hill; and every single bookshop, vintage shop and charity shop we could find.
.
I took her to see my Dad's old flat and the places he used to take me swimming and ice skating when I spent weekends with him as a kid. An unexpected trip down memory lane that made my heart ache in that very particular good-and-sad-all-at-once kind of way it does whenever I think of him.

Lola has officially finished high school! Her GCSE

Lola has officially finished high school! Her GCSE exams are (finally) over, shirts have been signed, teachers have been thanked, and she never has to wear school uniform ever again. And I don't have to do any more school runs or make any more packed lunches until September (🙌) when she'll start Sixth Form and study A Levels.
.
@lols.ridgway123 , our Little Miss Sunshine, we are so proud of you for getting through it - your own inner strength and resilience has been a huge part of that, as has the support from your sisters and your wonderful group of friends who have all been amazing (you all know who you are 🥰).
.
And now...it's time for summer to begin! ☀️☺️
