I’m back! Sorry for the silence for the past few weeks which have been so busy and hot, that I’ve neglected a journal post! But, I’m here with some time to write one, I’m also in the process of maybe changing domain name as I’ve gone back to wordpress.com for now.

As it has been too hot and bright for me to focus on photography I’ve been working on creating some effects using Photoshop. It isn’t just a button that you press to create these, you have to have many layers and change the filters etc. Each one can create up to 30-60 minutes to create.

If any of you are interested in creating your own drop me a message on here and I’ll add a link to the tutorial that I use on YouTube.

What a most beautiful start to the start of the UK Summer holidays.

A more enjoyable heat of 20+ instead of searing 35°+

The past few weeks have been so busy and hot, that I’ve neglected a journal post! But, I’m here with some time to write one. Enjoy the sun and have a lovely day!

Hope you are all had a great weekend? I had a lovely one and the weather was absolutely gorgeous; the added bonus that the clocks went back into British Summer time yay!

I spent most of the weekend in the garden planting plenty of seeds in the greenhouse, looking forward to seeing them grown and flower in the following months (I hope you like the edit of the boots? They were from when I visited Ripley Castle a few years ago).

My grass got it’s first mow of the year and even better still I found my ‘missing’ camera battery so all is good in my little world.

Good morning

Another busy day today!

A bit of gardening & tidying up after Storm Arwen and the snow/frost that we had a few days ago.

My lovely Cosmos has had to be pulled up, until next year when I’ll plant some more. I’ve also ordered some lovely golden yellow ones for next year as well.

The birds are loving the berries in the garden, I keep seeing them eating all the left over grapes as well!

Squirrel bathing in the soft light

The Weekend

Another busy day!

Today a bit of gardening. The cats are having a ball chasing leaves and exploring all the ‘new’ parts of the garden since I’ve cut back lots of plants!

A visit to the ever popular Living North exhibition had be drinking samples of rum, cocktails and wine at 11 o’clock in the morning! (Plus plenty of chocolate and biscuits).

The trees are looking stunning, All we needs is a huge gust of wind or a sharp front and most of the leaves will be on the floor.

More adventures tomorrow, a Textile exhibition and a Christmas Craft fair.
