cosy time...

I love this time of year... hats and scarves, soup with crusty bread, crunchy leaves, curling up in front of the fire, buying clothes in mustard, burgundy or dark green, the smell in the air, my boy's birthday and the countdown to the German Market! Still got quite a few weddings to go before the end of the year and feel really excited by what the different light, different colours and different feel brings to my photographs. Bring on the next chapter of this crazy adventure!

How gorgeous are these! A lovely lady was selling them at the side of the road for Halloween!

my life lately....

New printer means new scanner..... sweeeeeeeeet!

a day out in Winchester...

A lazy Sunday in Winchester with my boy buying lime curd and goats cheese from the most gorgeous little deli.....

...and browsing my favourite shop ever, The Hambledon wishing I could fill my house with everything they sell....

...and this is their changing room... how gorgeous?......

....I found Pete in their children's section.....

Fact of the day: Did you know that Winchester used to be the Capital of England.

HoHoHo

time to log on.

I tried to have a blog/flickr/photoshop free day but failed miserably.... I had to log on :)

love is....

hanging around...

...is something that I can't afford to do right now! Everything is really starting to take off and I'm so excited to see it all evolving! I have so many ideas about what I want to do and how I'm going to do it that I get butterflies thinking about it! I have lots of really exciting photo shoots coming up and can't wait to get out there... and then I know I'll not be able to wait getting them up on the blog! So watch this space!.......

time out

I've moved around the country quite a bit over the last 8 years and along the way have made some pretty amazing friends. It's so easy to slip into the hecticness of daily life and before you know it you haven't seen or even spoken to people for months. With facebook it's so easy to keep up to date with what everyone is doing, where they went on holiday, who they're dating or what they had for tea..... but actually having a good old chat seems to be getting lost. I had a lovely phonecall the other day from Keith, a guy I was on tour with for 6 months. I haven't seen him for a couple of years but it was like I'd only seen him yesterday.

So if you have a spare half hour or afternoon arrange a catch up over a cuppa, or if they're too far away... make a cuppa and give them a call.... I promise it'll make you smile.

p.s good luck Keith and Sarah for the nearly new arrival!!

good times/bad times

It's all a little crazy at the moment with moving and reassessing futures blah, blah, blah... but I'm a little overwhelmed how completely up and down it is.... it's either really good news or really bad news and it never seems to be 'just in the middle'. Take the last week or so as an example...

• my photos were blogged in Rock 'n Roll Bride (yay!)
• a water pipe burst in our house that we're renting out (boo)
• I got accepted on to a BSL Level 3 course (yay!)
• My car broke down on the way to Birmingham, I had to pay £120 to renew my AA cover and the car is now only fit for scrapping (a big boo)
• I have 5 wedding enquiries for next year (yay!)
• I get the flu as I'm just starting my new job so more time off without pay (boo)
• Pete (fella) gets an email saying he can transfer his job to a branch in the South so he now has a job to come down to which saves our bacon (yay!)

At least, whatever happens, I can always take photos........ :)
