Photography on Bubbablue and me. Exploring a new camera, Project 365, Silent Sunday/My Sunday Photo
We’ve just come back from a few days away in Norfolk. I was able to relive some of the places my mum took us when we were children holidaying there, but it wasn’t as fulfilled as I’d planned because N wasn’t well. He’s still not right – still saying he’s hot and cold on occasions, and a headache that’s coming and going. So I’m a little concerned after a few days of this. Hopefully he’ll have had enough rest over… Continue Reading “Living Arrows 2017 week 17 – natural playground”
This amazing sculpture is seen as you approach Felbrigg Hall, a National Trust property we visited while away last week. It’s part of their Victory V walk, although N dragged me way before I could read more of the board explaining it.
It’s week 16 of 2017’s Project 365, photo a day for a year. This week included our Easter break – I was off work this week too. So I took N away for a few days. We had a nice break, although he wasn’t well – hot and cold, and had a headache, which keeps coming back. So it’s certainly dragging on. I’m just hoping after a relaxing weekend he’ll be ok to go back to school. He’s still not read… Continue Reading “Project 365 2017 week 16 – Easter break”
I’d been meaning to return to Upton House (National Trust) for a while now, and had been hoping to see the new 1920s displays and the refilled mirror lake. But we went today for the Easter Egg hunt and the mirror lake was still empty and complete with JCB digger in it N had a great time with his cousin, they spent a lot of time rolling down slopes, running around and just generally having a bit of rough and… Continue Reading “Living Arrows 2017 week 16 – outdoor fun”
This beautiful display of purple flowers was at Upton House, our nearby National Trust property. I took N and the youngest nephew for the Easter Egg hunt. I was a bit disappointed because the mirror lake still is filled in despite them originally saying March it would reopen. The boys just enjoyed rolling down the slopes in the gardens.
It’s onto week 15 of project 365 and the final run up to Easter. We’ve only had 1 week of holidays this week so I’m hoping that lots of children are back to school next week and we’ll have some quiet-ish time away without insane traffic on the roads. On Sunday I finally got round to making my mediterranean courgettes side – I’ve had the post written for ages, but whenever I’ve made it before I’ve never managed to get… Continue Reading “Project 365 2017 week 15 – eggs and horses”
This week’s Living Arrows shot was taken on Thursday afternoon with N getting ready to play badminton. N had had a bump on the head at school first thing that morning, and he was so shaky I’d had to pick him up to keep an eye on him. Oh course by afternoon, he was fine again (albeit with a huge egg on the back of his head) and wanting to play outside. He got lots of outdoor toys out, played… Continue Reading “Living Arrows 2017 week 15 – getting ready to play”
This is the 2nd year my brother’s village WI group have yarn bombed the village. He always sends me photos of the unusual ‘goings on’ in the village, although I think he’s getting over the quirky nature of some of their events. I had to go and take my own photo of it.
It’s week 14 of this year’s project 365 and we’ve seen the sun. Plus the Easter holidays have arrived for N (although not for me until next Friday as I’m still at work until then). On Sunday, N played outside for a while with his cousin. The 2 of them played nicely together and N insisted on making a shelter with the blanket from the house. On Monday it was a stealing strawberries day. N is a bit of a… Continue Reading “Project 365 2017 week 14”
This week’s Living Arrows shot was taken on Mother’s day on our visit to the playground at Stratford -upon-Avon. The tyre swing is in the older children’s area, and N was quite taken with it.
