three ways...

Soon it will be time to clear the garden of all the remnants of summer flowers but still they keep on growing and adding a little colour to my world...
* and no, these weren't taken with the new lens lol, I've still to upload!!

garden magic...

I love the garden at this time of year, there's something so magical about the way everything just grows and grows! I'm a big fan of growing plants from seed because how amazing is that. I still can't get over the fact that from a tiny seed you can end up with a huge plant.

On the subject of plants; my sweetcorn in my greenhouse has gone crazy! So much so that we've had to remove some panes of glass from the roof! It is baby sweetcorn so stupidly I wasn't really thinking that it would grow to be the nearly 7 foot that it is at the moment... oh well, won't be doing that again lol!!

Still it's good that we're even getting enough sun in the first place to grow stuff, so I'm not going to complain too much...

lull...

Hello again! I know there's been a bit of a lull around here lately but quite a lot of things have been happening around here... Somehow it got to be nearly the end of July and I'm not quite sure how I got here; seriously it doesn't even seem that long since Christmas!

Anyway, things should be back on track again and my adventures into blogging should be a little more regular again!
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend whatever you've been up to...

less is more...

Sometimes you just need to mix things up a little... I realised recently that all of my photos have been in colour and so I decided to play with black and white for a change when I was out for a walk. I just love the way you can really see all the details differently when there is a lack of colour. Sometimes less is more...


I think this pared down vibe must be catching because I am loving simplicity in all things at the moment. I've been listening to this album over and over; just perfect with a little dreamy sunshine...

a little sunshine in my world...

I'm feeling in a summery vibe at the moment; not you understand because the sun is out in abundance in the UK at the moment but we've had slivers of it and I'm loving it...



I heard this song by Stornaway recently and it just sums up how I feel at the moment. It makes me feel as if I want to lie in the long grass with a picnic and enjoy the happy feeling that sunshine brings...

This sunshine also makes me want to revamp everything in my house in a Cath Kidson type of way. I'm already thinking of buying some material so I can make some new cushion covers - which will work out just perfectly for when I'm lying in that long grass!

I hope you're enjoying the weather where ever you are!
