What a wonderful world….
What a weekend it’s been. We’ve certainly had fireworks in more ways than one! A few months ago I saw on Facebook an ad for a gin festival in Brighton and booked 4 tickets. It was for the 5th November and little did I know then that Isabella McIntosh would arrive on that day, allContinue reading “What a wonderful world….”

Rollercoaster ride
The last eight weeks have felt like a rollercoaster ride, although I’m not a fan of them in reality. Little did I know that I would have the surprise of my life within that time, and share it with so many family. Kevin and I enjoyed a wonderful week in Portugal with Viv and Don,Continue reading “Rollercoaster ride”

I smelt a rat, and now the cat is out the bag……
I am quite a prolific sharer on social media, so this last week not to be able to share has been hard for me! Five months in the planning, Kevin, Elaine and Jay and a few others had been in cahoots to pull off a wonderful surprise. Over those last few months, Kevin has beenContinue reading “I smelt a rat, and now the cat is out the bag……”
A new academic year
I’m not going to lie, it’s always a struggle to prepare for the start of a new academic year. I do work in school closure, but it is a far more relaxed and enjoyable experience. Tuesday saw my first full day and it was tough! Evening relaxing with the family in the garden helped! ThursdayContinue reading “A new academic year”

Frame
I love to take photos through windows, especially ones that can frame the vista. The first picture is from within the Scottish Parliament building and I don’t feel the slats detract from the view. The second one is too from the SP and I love the chairs in the foreground as it shows that itContinue reading “Frame”

“Triumph” — Turn Up the Contrast
At a friend’s wedding the place cards were slate hearts with the guests name on them-a lovely touch! I love a wedding – love, the dreams and the future ahead for the couple, and their families. So with this in mind, I view my marriage and motherhood as my greatest personal triumphs. Everything else palesContinue reading ““Triumph” — Turn Up the Contrast”
Double…..
Both my sons are avid marvel comic fans, so on a recent tube journey I just had to take this photo of a young lad’s stylish Spider-Man socks. The neon yellow trainers also showed the red off! So double trouble!
Edge…..
Edge, what does that mean? You can be on edge-nervous of travel, a new challenge You can have an edge, a tenacity that marks you out, or perhaps even an attitude that some can dislike. I have chosen this photo taken along the Thames and it is a living wall made from bike wheels thatContinue reading “Edge…..”
