Wow 2012…
Posted on January 14, 2012
I can’t believe I haven’t posted on here since 2010!
I don’t know where to start to tell the story of where 2011 disappeared to….
Basic changes are: the major renovations are finished, smaller renovations are still ongoing. We now have five dogs, not four! Betty and Dave had a litter of puppies and we kept one, Frankie. I lost another grandparent but gained a second cousin. My best friend is expecting a baby (you can expect hundreds of photos of the baby to appear on here!), I got addicted to tumblr. I made friends, laughed, cried, smiled, relaxed, rushed around, sorted out my priorities, got ill, got better, and lived a full life!
I order lots more of that for 2012….
Oh and I started a new photo a day using just my iphone, lets see how that goes 
Wish me luck!

I don’t need much of an excuse to take a picture, 101010 at 1010am seems a good enough reason for a quick photo yes? We had a late breakfast on a lazy sunday and finished painting the living room. Now for new flooring! This room WILL be perfect by christmas! I hope!!

365 Days!?
Posted on October 10, 2010
At the beginning of this year I started a 365 Project. Basically, I decided I would take one photo a day for the whole year. I guess when I started this project I didn’t really think it would be that hard, I mean, I’m almost always taking photos anyway. But oh how wrong was I? It just seems never ending. Some days I’m uninspired and don’t feel like carrying a camera around with me.
I would say though, to anyone thats thought about doing it, do it! Its not easy but it is fascinating to look back through the year and see how life really was. Some days all I do is take a snapshot of my dog sleeping in a funny position, but some days are actually that simple. One of the days was the day my Nan died, I took a photo of a plaque that has been in her house for as long as I can remember. Little details that I otherwise wouldn’t have bothered to photograph and likely the memories would fade in years to come. Now I have little photo memories for my whole year.
Anyways, here is one photo from my cornwall holiday, because I know I will never get around to writing a blog post about it:

I’m a big brave dog…

I have been saying for months now that I was going to cut my hair off for charity. Well, I finally did! And on stage too!
My sister was running a fundraising gig for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance appeal, and on the night I made a spur of the moment decision that I would have my ponytail cut off on stage! We had the audience make donations first and explained that the money raised would go to the air ambulance and the hair would go to Locks Of Love.
My hair before:
My hair being cut off!:
And finally, my new ‘do’:

I love this kid!
Posted on July 27, 2010
I babysat my friends little boys again recently. I like to take them some fun things today and on this particular day I took window pens! The kids had never had any of these before, and were a bit unsure of them at first. But once we got going they were enjoying drawing on the patio door. However, Callum got upset when he realised we were going to leave the drawings on the door. He was scared his mummy would be mad at him! So he took some baby wipes and set to cleaning the windows!
Haha, bless him

Princess’ Birthday
Posted on July 22, 2010
Yep, we call her Princess sometimes. Because she IS a princess, u know.
For her birthday she chose to celebrate with her family, a picnic by the water. What could be more perfect? And it was perfect, even the gatecrashing cows didn’t spoil the fun. Nor did the wind and light rain. We laughed, played games, blew out candles, toasted marshmallows (why have I never done this before???) and had lots of fun!
Here are some photos documenting the fun:
Last minute costume changes in my aunts boat!
People pretending to be celebrity chefs
Making funny faces while playing rounders
Shielding candles from the wind
Capturing funny faces while the cows come to gatecrash
I wish my birthdays were as fun as this!

The big Finland post part 2
Posted on July 22, 2010
K its taken me ages to actually get around to posting the second part of my finland pictures, but its better late than never right? I really miss Finland now!
This pathway here is my favorite spot. It has perfect light, beautiful trees and happy wandering memories!
Sara loves her bunny
They show some REALLY weird tv shows in Finland. This show just had music and a guy running naked and lost in the forest Straaange
Lensbaby makes weird pictures, but its so fun to me
I had such a great time in Finland. I sometimes wish I could live there.. its so dreamy and perfect. A nice peaceful town, friendly people. Gorgeous scenery! And my friends! I would miss my family though.
Can’t wait to visit again soon

A few (four actually) things that make me happy!
Posted on June 18, 2010
Every evening, my four furry friends like to snuggle. Every evening always the same, just in slightly different arrangements.
Sometimes with us humans:
Sometimes just with each other:
Sometimes under blankets:
And sometimes just to have someone to sleep on:
But every night, the same plan. Four dogs and a few humans all snuggled onto one sofa And that really does make me happy!

Sex & The City 2
Posted on June 2, 2010
Last night I went to go and see Sex & The City 2 with Hollies friends. It was a bit of a disaster night to begin with, as we turned up to the wrong cinema and then had to race across town to the correct cinema to meet Carley who had our tickets Luckily we got there just in time!
The movie was really fun, I’d recommend it. And I haven’t even seen the first one, which I guess I probably should? Hehe. Before we left we took a few silly photos:

The big Finland adventures post :) (part 1)
Posted on June 2, 2010
This would be my third time to finland. I love going there, not only is it a beautiful place, but my best friend lives there with her husband and her beautiful daughter. During my visit her daughter, Sara, turned one year old. I have so many photos to share that it would be impossible to put them here, so I will just add a few with some stories.
The birthday girl gave me some sweet smiles on her birthday. I was amazed to see how tiny and delicate she is! Shes the smallest one year old I know, but she doesn’t let it slow her down! She is so into climbing up on things to look out of the windows! She also loves to stand by herself and wave her arms so everyone says ‘woooow’
This isn’t my photo, but I just had to share it Sara’s cake was made by my friend (Hanna’s) mum and Hanna made the flowers, I think it looked perfect
Hanna has some really fun photo props, including these cute kittie ears We got a bit silly trying them all on and giggling!
We attempted some one year old portraits, but they didn’t quite go according to plan! This is the last shot I took as the birthday girl escaped
We went for a random drive, which was probably my favorite part of the whole week. We laughed, joked and chased each other with cameras So much fun! Like I said before, I have so many photos, we’re only up to my second day so far! More to come soon!
