things...

Hello again, if there's anybody out there still!
I didn't mean to take a break but this is some of the stuff I've been up to lately...

* firstly I went on a mystery weekend to a place I've never been before. I ended up in Chester which was rather lovely and had the most fantastic time, mainly because of the lovely group of people I went with. I don't think I've laughed that much in a long time!!
* then I managed to get the most awful cold and sore throat and spent a week in bed. I went back to work yesterday only to feel so terrible that my boss was going to send me home again! Been to the GP today and now have the rest of his week off. I'm actually sitting in bed typing this on my iphone lol!
* still even good stuff still happens and I managed to win a hardback farrow & ball design book in a giveaway across at Lobster and Swan yay! Go and check out her blog it really is lovely...
* so hopefully I'll be feeling back to normal soon and in the meantime I can dream about escaping into the great outdoors again!

** oh and I have some lovely news that I'll share in my next post!!

dreaming...

Firstly, I want to say thank you for all your lovely comments about my first tentative steps into the world of photography... Sometimes you just need a little reassurance that you're not completely crazy in wanting to follow your dreams...

This week I feel as if a lot of things have started falling into place. Maybe there's something in the air but I feel as if things are starting to shift and changes are afoot...

Other things this week in no particular order...
* Last night I went to a gig to see Marina and the Diamonds. She was fantastic... check out this link
* I can't believe that there are only 7 weeks and a day until Christmas... really how did that happen?
* This weekend I'm off on a mystery coach trip! Crazy, yes, cheesy yes but something I always wanted to do! I have no idea where I'll end up but it should be funny and there's 14 of us going... I'll let you know where I end up!!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you get up to...

colour...

I meant to post this over a week ago but a combination of having a few days off work and my home broadband playing up, meant that here I am just doing this now... (sorry Catherine!)

This was the third time I've collaborated with Catherine on our photo project. She chose the theme Colour and sent the most fantastic parcel...





Catherine's photos were of little paintings she has done which feature all of her favourite colours and she sent me a couple of the paintings - thank you Catherine!She also sent me the sweetest bunting and a wonderful chocolate which totally reminded me of childhood and made me smile!
