With freshly cut hair, the boys decided that Lotka needed a hair treatment too, and so decided to give her a wash. She is fresh and sleek now.

The boys and a friend in the local vets! A shopping evening in the village, where the kids OD’d on sweets and excitement in general. They also had the first meeting with father Christmas of the year. OOPs, realised I posted two for Friday – this is what comes of not posting each day and […]

Well Didcot Power Station has finally made it into a post. I was again trying out hyperfocal focal points, and failing miserably, so I also had a practice with a polarising filter.

Whilst trying to get my head around hyperfocal distance, I stopped in some woods to practice. Not at all impressed with those results, but did quite like this moss thingy I was focussing on in the foreground.

I had high hopes for today – getting back on track with my camera and having my posts up to date. Shame, then, that, although I took my camera fitted with wide angle lens and polariser out,  I found that I didn’t have a memory card inserted! Doh. As I was on a tight time […]

Another day when I only picked up the camera towards the twilight hours, but how nice to capture happy bath time antics. Arms and flannels all happen to be strategically placed. Well done boys and I hope this won’t embarrass you too much in later years.

TThe Apple Elf delivered more windfall today. As I am still recovering from the weekend, these were my only inspiration! Plus we have a fab apple peeler/corer/slicer thingy, which makes eating these a delight.

AAfter a very busy day and night on the 26th, I took it easy on sunday but when we popped out for a pre lunch walk I couldn’t resist snapping a few pics of the scenery and boys. It was a toss up between Didcot Power Station and Barnaby. Sorry DPS, you simply are not […]

A busy day, being my birthday so celebrating with the boys, and then taking photographs at the disco arranged to raise money for our local pre school. What a top night, and though I worked hard, I have some lovely photos and raised lots of money to boot! Cruella and her dogs kept coming back […]

Snowman Alexei – trying on his nativity (?) costume for pre school. Christmas excitement has already reached fever pitch in the house!
