I know it is not the greatest landscape, but it is one many of you will be familiar with as I have taken shots of this area for quite a few of my posts and thought it fitting to end my 365 project with it. I had to find time to do it in between […]

As I approach the end of my photographic year, what better subject than my baby who is 6 weeks old today and therefore her arrival has been on my mind for most of my 365 project. Here we demonstrate the power of one of the 5 S’s –  swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging and sucking, from […]

the two eldest went to sports camp today and I was left with the two youngest, thinking I would have an easier time with just two. Keeping an intelligent and curious almost 3 year old amused whilst caring for a young baby left me thinking otherwise! The boys enjoyed the camp, especially Barnaby who received […]

Well not quite the Olympics closing ceremony, but inspired by these last two fantastic weeks, the boys have decided they want to train for the Olympics and cycling is something we Brits do well at…….. so here is 2 year old Felix getting his balance!

We had a wet spring. Very wet. My fruits did not fare well in these conditions. I had some plums, but the bugs found them first. Looks juicy! Must pick my lone pear before these beasts discover that!

The lure of the wheat fields is strong as my project draws to a close. I had two hours alone with the baby today whilst the boys went to a dance class (!!), so I went for a little walk to settle her. Of course, she slept during the walk and woke up as soon […]

Although it is the holidays, I convinced Barnaby that some brain teasers would be good to do. After initially grumbling, he soon got in to it and did really well. The promise of receiving the other Olympic mascot might have had something to do with swaying him!

We headed off to Beale Park for a few hours today. This cockerel must have heard about the boys chasing the geese around earlier and not been happy about it, as he hopped on this fence just above the ‘No Entry’ sign as we came up – and hollered at us as we walked off. […]
