A Walk in the Sun

Isn't it lovely when the sun shines for a change. Getting out this morning for a nice stroll with Sam in the pram was great. I'm also lucky to live in such a brilliant location with great views to take in - just a shame I left the house so early that I couldn't get an ice cream!!! 

A Morning Stroll

Isn't it lovely when the sun is out and you don't feel trapped inside anymore. This morning I took Sam out in the pram and has a great little walk the town. We certainly made the right decision in moving house here, such brilliant views to take in and enjoy - just a shame it was too early for ice cream! 

A Sunny Day

The sun came out yesterday - probably just for one day only but that's what we get for living in Scotland!!! I took the opportunity to dust off the old macro lens and take a few snaps of plants and flowers around the garden, one of my favourite things to do. I'll post a few of them just now and maybe a few more later on. Lets start with the pink blossom - always so pretty.

Over a Year - Shame on Me!

Well it would appear that i have neglected this blog for over a year now - how did that happen?

A lot has happened in the last year, too much for me to talk about on here and probably most of it pretty dull day-to-day life stuff. Who knows maybe i can resurrect the blog a bit and start posting (hopefully slightly more regularly than once per year).

So a quick pic to get us started again - Meet Sam. Our  little miracle Sam was born on 19th April and is amazing, pretty hilarious and I cannot quite believe how lucky we are to have him. x

I Like The Colours

Bit of a non blog post here but thought I would add this photograph for you to see. I sat my new ribbon-tied gift box on top of my Liberty Book Of Sewing and the colours matched perfectly, oh yeah that's one of my necklaces hanging around there too :)

Images From The Garden

I went away for the weekend to the Highlands and had a couple of really nice nights in this holiday home (believe me, the hot tub is amazing even when it is really frosty outside!). The wintery light was just beautiful and the garden at the house was just full of plants and leaves glowing in the sunlight just asking to be photographed. Here are just a few of the images I took - as you can see the Macro lens was out in full force!

Peonies

Some lovely images of peonies courtesy of the Decor8 blog, always an amazing source of all things beautiful and inspiring. I am still fairly new to this blog even though it has so much on it and is so very popular all over the world. Have a look at everything it has to offer by following this link and I promise you will not be disappointed (you will be lost in a sea of amazing finds for hours though!).
