Oh, Sunshine!

There is nothing in this world like Scotland when the sun shines. Nothing. The greenery, the sky, the hills, even people in the street are nicer when that big orange ball is in the sky. I love it. I ...

Surprisingly Perfect

I was just taking the children and my new 50mm f1.4 lens out for an airing in the spot of sunshine we had for all of about 15 minutes yesterday. It is such a lovely little lens and I need to learn it...

Room Re-vamp

I have always despised the blue of the ikea bed, so I got out my trusty blackboard paint. Of course the kids love it. The bottom picture is a bird, and I am refusing to let any one wipe it off, as E ...

I Am Going to Go Ahead and Laugh

Oh, Georgia. You are excactly the kind of person I love spending my time with: funny, fearless and loves to laugh. Some days though, the thought of mothering you through your teenage years gives me h...

All Change
