    Surrounded by the sounds of nature

    Just thought I'd share with you a glorious day that I spent with hubby near the sea. We drove about 4 hours away from home to spend the night near the sea. We stayed in a small pub and planned to do a walk of about 13 miles. It's a walk up a large hill (called a Down), walk along the top...

    Lily, Tolly, Felicity and Adelaide

    Today we had a kind of family photo shoot. I was trying out a new lens, it's a slow lens and the light was bad all day (drat these cloudy, dismal, short winter days), so forgive the photography if some of them are a bit off. Adelaide was keeping me company while I photographed birds at the...
