Mum and I, summer 1977.
I love how this photo is slightly out of focus and bleached by the sun – it seems to just add to its loveliness. Happy mothers day to all mums, soon to be mums and mums that will never be forgotten. x

Dear all,
I have recently had some time off and this is where I have been holed up.
Anyone that knows me will tell you that I am stubborn, fiercely independent and I hate to sit still for more than five minutes, so when life threw me this recent curve ball it was hard going not only for me but also for my suffering partner Paul. This photo was taken by him, Its very strange to see it now and it gives my a sinking feeling inside when I look at it but weirdly I am glad he recorded the moment. I don’t do sick well so I really was a shameful patient and I am sure he would not argue with that. Enormous thanks to all my friends that were so great during this time and especially Paul for putting up with my drama’s and for spending hours watching Masterchef and trying to brush the dreadlocks out of my hair.

My blog wouldn’t be complete without at least one photo of my beautiful friend on her wedding day (thanks for letting me!) In the twenty-two years we have known each other she has always hated me taking her photo, but today was different, today I was taking her wedding photos.

Thanks for a wonderful day and for making me your photo taking bridesmaid, loved every minute, not sure I would choose to wear a bridesmaid dress and shoot a wedding in heels again. I think I looked a bit silly trying to hold my bouquet and camera in one hand, not to mention the sprinting in heals with my dress hitched up.

p.s Best bread and butter pudding ever.
