After picking the elderflowers last week, I made it into a cordial to be diluted with whatever you like. For me fizzy water, until perhaps the baby is born, then I may switch to something stronger! I wanted to photograph the finished product, but playing around in post process, this view of just the bubbles […]

A very well meaning member of our family, I am banned from saying who, gave us a present for the baby today – a bed lined with sheepskin for the new born so I was told. However, upon opening it I had to suppress a giggle when I saw that it was actually a dog […]

I am no gardener, especially these days with little kids and a big bump getting in the way of any bending, but I am chuffed to say that all these flowers in the jug came from my back garden! They were nice whilst they lasted (about half an hour before petals started dropping all over!)

A fun birthday party to go to today with a talented face painter on hand who transformed my son into a dragon; here he is a few hours later with most of his dragon face still intact! There followed a mucky bathtime!

The plan was to take a shot of the lilac poppies currently flowering in our neighbourhood, and I just took this wheat field as I stepped out of the van to go around to the other side…. but, I kinda like this shot, and hopefully I can get more shots of the poppies on another day.

38 weeks today and becoming very big… a bit of a cliched shot, but nice to document the remaining weeks/days whilst baby is still inside. Let’s see if it is in or out at week 39 – I suspect inside.

I had a few hours to try to catch up with things today, before the impending birth, but it was so nice and sunny that I couldn’t resist “working outdoors”

A really busy day and with overtired children still recovering from the weekend – not time to do much photography, but always time to smell the roses.

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy. You are the best daddy in the world. love Barnaby, Felix, Alexei, Ellie and baby

It was a busy day today. But now I have dropped off the two eldest at friend’s for a sleepover, my husband is away preparing to be an iron man tomorrow, and my youngest is sleeping soundly upstairs. Time for an evening with my friends Ben & Jerry!
