On Film Part 1

Hello strangers! Ok, so I didn’t post anything while I was in Devon, when I said I would. Sorry! It was a nice little break. Good to see the family and some friends (plus a tiny, new baby). Home again now :)

I just got a roll of film back, and wanted to share one photo first of all. I was pretty excited (or perhaps, hopeful) when I heard the 'click' that this picture would come out looking this way. Sometimes you just have that feeling when you've got it right (well, I think so anyway). Any clickers agree?

♡ Orange

I am very much enjoying the colours of autumn. I can’t get over how beautiful the past couple of months have been weather-wise! 

Definitely my favourite season :) Bertie is looking the part, in his new rust-coloured cords. At the moment, he likes to play with the camera tripod - he thinks he’s lining up a shot (not sure he realises there should be a camera on there first)!

Just a few pictures from yesterday. Bertie in the laundry basket (he likes it in there), my new plate from here, Dan baking some biscuits and Bertie whizzing around on his bee. Maisie is back at school today, and Dan at work....boo, it feels a bit empty here now.

Check out my November links in the sidebar :)

Maisie+Churros=Yay!

Good Monday to one and all. I hope you are all feeling good today. Its Halloweeeeen! Looks like we’re dressing Bertie up as a pumpkin (not my idea). 

Anyway, I am sharing some pictures from Saturday, when Maisie and I spent much of the day together (minus Bertie taking up all of my time/energy/patience etc). He had a daddy day. 

I surprised Maisie with tickets to see her favourite author, Jacqueline Wilson give a talk and book signing at the Foundling Museum. It was thoroughly enjoyable and Maisie was over the moon! Afterwards, with a signed book and a smile, we stopped off for some lunch, followed by a shared portion of churros with hot chocolate sauce. De-li-cious to the max! It was so lovely to be on our own together (and to sit on the top deck of the bus...what a novelty?!) We had such a nice time, and I know it meant a lot to Maisie too. She is extremely patient and understanding about the amount of my time Bertie consumes. Later that day we even managed to fit in a mother and daughter trip to the hairdressers. First time in over a year (although I still hate my hair, dammit)! All in all, a precious day.

All About The Chair

Just discovered - the joys of sitting on a ‘big chair’ (and dragging it around the room, tipping it over/general trashing of the home using the chair). Hours of fun for Bertie it would seem! Glad I captured his dimple in the last picture :)

Enjoy those weekends of yours :) Thanks for visiting this week!

Oh, also, I forgot to mention, I have reopened my Etsy Shop in addition to my main shop (some people prefer a bit of Etsy shopping, so I’m giving you the option of both...why not eh)? I am in the process of taking new photographs of my products so you will see jpegs at present before the photos appear. I have revised some of my prices to reflect the new, superior paper and printing quality...don’t hate me :)

High Five For High Tea

Good morning everyone. I hope you all had nice weekends :) I enjoyed a tasty morning teacake and Assam tea at High Tea (Highgate) with a friend the other day. Fortunately, Bertie fell asleep on the walk there, so I was actually able to sit, talk and enjoy a (warm) cup of tea without him throwing teaspoons around and trying to stir my tea for me. What a novelty! 

Have a nice day!

I Like These...

I discovered this great little Etsy shop called Things Like Diamonds, through Iveth’s blog. I really like their hand-printed clothing line, which predominately features triangular patterns. They’re certainly a win for me :)

Wishing you all very lovely weekends! It’s half term next week, so I have Maisie home, and Dan has booked the week off too. Family time :) See y’all soon!

A Day At Home

Good Monday. I hope you are all well and happy :) Yesterday, I didn’t leave the house at all. And it felt really good! Sometimes a home day is just what one requires. I did some cleaning and pottering and I’d like to say that I made English muffins and bread.....but gah, it was Dan of course darn it! He rustled up that tasty lunch you see there - poached eggs, bacon, English muffins, hollandaise sauce., plus some dark chocolate for moi (Green & Blacks made that) - fatting up on a Sunday! Bertie even swept up afterwards, see? Well trained (hmmm). The River Cottage ‘Bread' book is highly recommended by Dan, for those of you who like to bake bread and other bread-related goods.

Completely irrelevent, but I thought I would share a little conversation I had with Dan (who is three years younger than me) yesterday...

Me -  “I’m worried I look too old for you and I’m going to out-age you.”
Him - “Don’t worry, I like mid-century.”

!!!

Have a nice day! And as mentioned before, you can enter Em of The Beetle Shack’s giveaway to win one of my prints :) What yo' waiting for?
