Around The Heath On Film

Trying out my dad’s old camera (Miranda MS-1 super) on Hampstead Heath. Bertie and I headed up there after dropping Maisie at school one morning last week. I knew Bertie would fall asleep, so my plan was to take my book, a blanket, a few nibbles and grab a few rare moments to myself. But of course, very  predictably, I laid out the blanket, reached for my book and he woke up! Typical! We still had a lovely time roaming around though. Bertie seems at his happiest here, exploring and playing under the trees. I love it!

p.s. Bertie does have two hands...in that last picture, it looks a bit like he lost one somewhere on the Heath...those pesky dogs!

p.p.s. I highly recommend a visit to the Vivian Maier exhibition if you are in London. We went on Sunday, and it was superb. I’d like to have seen more of her self portraits and colour photos, but all in all, I’m so pleased we made it; I have been completely mesmerised by the Maier discovery. The last day is this Sunday 24th.

Yes, I know I keep changing the colours of my blog. I'm addicted to fiddling about with it and get bored easily; it's the way I am *slightly embarrassed*

  4. I am loving this latest look. With the little camera... simple and stylish. I get bored with my blog too... constantly changing it. Much like my house and everything else in life... life's a project no? Bertie is too cute for words! Lovely squidgey boy. xxLou xx

  5. Love that you keep changing the colours - makes it a bit of a suprise everytime we visit. Today's colours match the 'delightful' weather we have been having. Will definitely have to try and squeeze the exhibition in. Not enough time on the weekends.

  9. Thank you for pictures of Hampstead Heath. It must be the perfect playground for kids. Bertie is one lucky boy. I wish we had a park like that around here.

  13. I just love the photo of Bertie and that tree stump! And miss hand of Bertie is cracking me up. And don't even get me started about fiddling the colours and layout. I am tweaking at it every second for mine too. I love all the subtle changes.
