I’ve always somehow wanted to put together a visual diary and a couple of people I follow on Instagram have recently inspired me to give something a try. When I was little I was hugely influenced by The Diary of an Edwardian Lady, The Island and The Amateur Naturalist I just seem to gravitate towards […]
Apart from the obvious, last year I was consumed with helping my mother go through the grueling treatment for stage three breast cancer. Then I received more news of a couple of friends also being affected by the same horrid illness and at worse stages than my mother. I now feel very grateful for […]

I’ve decided that it’s about time I put pen to paper and note down a few jottings of what has been going on in my bubble of a world. I promise I did actually use a pen and paper too! It feels appropriate to say that this post has been sparked off by a dash […]
The lack of light and large amount of rainfall this time of year can really play havoc on the spirit, but I need to be reminded that all those spring bulbs and plants are being restored from the rather dry winter that we’ve had. The snowdrops are in the throes of giving us a spectacular […]

Grasmere (as are most villages) is surrounded by the most beautiful undulating landscape, with light that dances around picking out pockets of vivid green pasture and clouds that waft […]
This summer I’ve been busy working on various photography projects which has been really fulfilling and I’m dying to blog about them all. However recently I took off a couple of days to become a tourist in Gloucestershire and one of the places I’d always wanted to visit are the lavender fields at Snowshill. The time of day and […]
The lush lime green leaves recently gave way to a beautiful crescendo of crisp white flowers which carpeted the woodland floor like a big fluffy duvet. It’s my favourite time of year, watching the season unfolding and observing the change not just in the emerging flora but the birds are now super active and up about 4.30am singing […]
