The theme for The Gallery this week is your favourite photograph. I’ve been a total geek since Edward was born and everyday I’ve taken a photo of him. He has his own little blog which I use for updating the extended family on his progress. My iPhoto is creaking with the amount of photos I’ve…

The Gallery: A Smile (one of many)
Looking through my photographs of Edward’s first six months I’m struck by just how many pics there are of him smiling! According to my scrupulous records he first smiled on his 35 day and he quickly learnt to laugh too. This pic is one of my favourite. Edward seems to save his biggest smiles for…
The Gallery: a celebration
The theme for The Gallery this week is a celebration. I see a few people have chosen a photo of their wedding day but I’m not ashamed to admit that my wedding day wasn’t the best day of my life! We both dislike being the centre of attention and found the planning stressful and the…
The Gallery: A photo I'm proud of
This weeks theme for The Gallery is a Photo I’m Proud of. Since my little one was born I’ve tried to take a photograph of him every day and posted it here. I found that the quality of my photographs wasn’t very good so recently upgraded to a Lumix G Micro System. The photographs are…
The Gallery: A Memory
Instead of posting a picture I’m going to re-direct you to my other blog. Just before Edward was due my husband thought it would be fun to give the baby his or her own blog , where we could post photos and let our relatives know what we were up to. Although I thought this…
The Gallery: Playtime
My little one has reached the stage where he loves to play. He spends the whole day laughing and giggling but his face really lights up when you get down to his level and play. We’ve tried not to go too mad buying toys but I didn’t anticipate his favourite pasttime would be lying on…
Nature
In July 2008 we were lucky enough to spend a day exploring the acoustic mirrors at Denge followed by Derek Jarman’s garden in the shadow of Dungeness nuclear power station. The garden was built around his cottage on the shingle beach. Flowers were planted around items which had been collected locally, including shells, driftwood, and…
The Gallery: Creatures
So I’ve discovered I have no exciting photographs of creatures. It’s not that I don’t like wildlife I just don’t see much of it living in Zone 3! I have found a lovely photograph of a robin I took at Norwood Cemetery in January 2008. I’ve always been fascinated by the Magnificent Seven: Kensal Green…
The Gallery: Motherhood
The theme for Week 15 of The Gallery is motherhood. Although this isn’t the best photo of me and Edward it’s one which makes me smile. Before I became a mother I had no idea what it really entailed and I’m no expert yet. Edward is now 3 months old and so far I’ve spent…
