Our Cambridge Holiday

Now I've had a couple of days sleep, I thought I'd share some of the highlights from our family holiday to Cambridge. For the most part we had wonderful sunshine but sadly did get caught in one rather heavy rain storm when we adventured into Cambridge. This happened to be one of the best days for me though because I got to meet my pen pal and social media buddy of six years Kerrie! It was ace and the children all got on too which was lovely. 



For 2 days we enjoyed a small music festival listening and dancing to local bands to the small hours. We camped in a caravan, had outdoor camp stove dinners and breakfast with the birds early in the morning. In the photo above you can see one of the very cool camper vans that turned up for the weekend. Hubby and I always get jealous when we see these! Midge playing with one of lawn games. My cousin selling her homemade items and supper of cereals in a mug: yum.






One of the acts was a Samba Band local to Cambridge. They were my favourite act and had everyone dancing.



When almost everyone had gone we took over a second caravan and joined in coffee mornings outside and visiting more family who have recently moved near by. Midge and Little A went exploring and we all had fun going on some countryside walks. We were pretty sad to leave but had a wonderful time.
I took some photos as we arrived at the train station in London and the view from the Taxi. I'm such a tourist, I love it! Midge fell asleep on the way to London on Daddy and the only photo of me on holiday was this one of Little A and I on the way to Kings Cross!

I want to thank my Aunt and Uncle for once again opening their home to us all. We had a lovely time and miss them very much already. Ice House 2015 here we come!

Photos From The Garden

I haven't been out with my camera for a while. I haven't felt like it to be honest.
I wish I was stuck still in January where my creative juices were flowing like crazy and I was so happy but times have been a bit tough (hectic!) with wedding plans and remembering all sorts of life's other essentials I've just had my creativity stunted.

I often feel a bit funny going out with my camera espicaially my bigger one. I'm still getting used to people looking at you as if you're a bit nuts when you whip a camera out to photo a building, a bird, a flower, the sky whatever has caught the eye but i'm sure it's something i'll learn not to give two hoots about.

Today though I ventured out into my back garden, camera at the ready to see if there was anything out there I could shoot. What do you know? There was! Yesterday a large purple towel of mine had blown down onto my flower patch and after lifting it up the period of one nights damp and dark had given way to a few rather odd looking mushrooms. Before removing for safty purposes I had to grab a few shots. After the mushrooms you couldn't stop me! Enjoy...




I saw my Sweet Williams looking worse for wear but this seems okay. I did find a rather tiny slug having a nibble so had to send him on his way! I love catching water on plants and I love this shot because of the different shades of green.


I like how the edges have been caught here. I don't really know what it is but I really like this shot.


On my fence there are few of these rusty looking objects. I love the pattern that has formed over time with the rusting.




Using a 'Super Macro' mode I managed to capture such detail in the keyhole on my back door. I am really pleased with this photo.


Finally I saw a redundant looking plant pot and decided I rather liked it. My camera did too.
