    24 hours in our world

    I’ve tried to take a photo of Edward every day since he was born and publish my favourite on my baby blog. When I heard this week’s Gallery theme I thought about leaving the camera next to my bed so I could photograph everything we did from the moment we woke up. Then I realised that I take so many photographs I could almost pick any 24 hour period to show. Yesterday was a great day, the sun shone, we visited our favourite farm and saw lots of family, so have a look at our 24 hours: 1. breakfast time,…

    The Gallery: children

    When Tara posted the theme of children for this weeks gallery I was so excited.  It might be a bit cheesy but I love the fact I’ve created a little being and love to see my own face in his. Looking back through old photograph albums shows expressions in his face which mirror my own in so many ways so I thought I would show photographs of the two of us:   Spoons are so good for teething gums 🙂   Now go and check out the other entries!

    The Gallery: Mother Nature

    It’s taken me a while to choose a photograph for this weeks theme. I kept coming back to photographs I took on a trip to Dungeness, a unique headland on the Kent coast which I’ve blogged about here and here. I don’t know what the flower is but I love the way it’s juxtaposed with the fishermen’s cottages, the nuclear power station and the beautiful blue sky. I’m amazed anything grows on the shingle beach but over 600 different types of plant grow (a third of all those found in Britain). This post is for Week 42 of The Gallery:…

    The Gallery – body parts

    I haven’t participated in The Gallery for ages but I couldn’t resist this week’s prompt – body parts. I have lots of pictures of Edward showing varying degrees of beautiful baby chubbyness. However, we’ve recently put up a stair gate and I couldn’t resist this picture: Not many body parts fit through those bars!

    Christmas preparations

    So we’ve got through our seemingly endless preparations for Christmas and the big day is nearly here. Today we finished the peppermint creams, coconut ice, brownies, cupcakes and the oven is finally free and cooking the turkey. I can’t wait to spend tomorrow with the family enjoying all the hard work of the last few days and helping Edward open his mountain of presents. I’ve found a couple of fun ways to remind us of his first Christmas. Firstly Sally was giving away codes to make a photograph showing Father Christmas in your house. Well we’re currently staying with my…
