I love taking photos. Being able to learn photography skills is something I enjoy. If you follow me or us on social media, you will know this. I also have children who love to take photos and use cameras. For my special birthday (ahem, age is not a number) I was given a proper DSLR […]

Actually, this isn’t MY Sunday Photo, it’s actually The Tween’s Sunday Photo. We were very lucky to attend a photography session in London, yesterday, where we both learned to use our cameras a bit better, and some new skills. She chose this photo, to share today.

It’s been a LONG old week, and it’s only Tuesday. In fact it’s been a long few days. This blog is my baby. It’s my baby after my children, and the cranky cat. It’s taken a lot of love, blood, sweat, tears, effort and time to keep it running and whilst I am not a […]
