When I Saw Her Standing There…

When I Saw Her Standing There…

I completely made the most of having my friend Joe come and pose for me for these pictures today (thank you Joe). I think I took something like 12 original raw shots and choosing which 3 to put into this post was incredibly tough because I loved all of them. The feature pic of the [...]

Turn Your Face Away, From the Garish Light of Day…And Listen to the Music of the Night

Turn Your Face Away, From the Garish Light of Day…And Listen to the Music of the Night

My Mums favourite visits to London were to see Phantom of the Opera. She was lucky enough to see it in the mid 80's with Michael Crawford in the lead role and she played the soundtrack at home often. As a young girl I'm not sure I appreciated the 'music of the night' quite as [...]

I Get What I Want…

I Get What I Want…

I Get What I Want! I wish this was some declaration of how life always turns out the way I had planned. No such luck unfortunately.  There are lots of things I want...some material, some emotional and some more altruistic and I fall woefully short most of the time in all three categories. Does that [...]

The Sun is Out…Must be Pimms O’Clock

It's been a fun weekend so far and the great news is there is an extra day of it! \o/ It's Memorial Day weekend in the states and in the UK it's the Spring Bank Holiday. The weather was gorgeous yesterday but today is a little more overcast where I am. But the great news [...]

Just Find the Feeling, Pass it On

Just Find the Feeling, Pass it On

I was reading on Facebook a post from a fellow blogger and photographer who was delighted to have received an offline message from someone just to let them know that they enjoyed seeing their pics on Flickr. It was a message of appreciation and thanks and obviously made their day. The person sending the message [...]

Ain’t Nothing Going on But the ‘Rents

I have the parental units visiting this weekend. Oh the joy! No, really...it is a joy to see them. As I've written before my stepmother has Alzheimers and my father hasn't always dealt with it well. He's always been a man on a short fuse with a bark terrifying more scary than his bite and [...]

If You Were Born Without Wings, Do Nothing to Prevent Them Growing

If You Were Born Without Wings, Do Nothing to Prevent Them Growing

The title of this post is a quote from Coco Chanel. It's not always easy to avoid the things in life that clip your wings a little but how you deal with those situations and/or people will determine how quickly your wings recover and you feel ready to take flight again. Those scars and dents [...]

Because You’re Worth It

Because You’re Worth It

I was talking to a friend at a venue yesterday and joking with him about being like a L'Oreal advert. See this friend had flowing golden locks attached to their pixel scalp. What's unusual about that? well normally this person is a teeny tiny cute lil cat.  Seeing them in human form was unusual...seeing them [...]

I Don’t Care Too Much for Money cos Money Can’t Buy Me Love

I Don’t Care Too Much for Money cos Money Can’t Buy Me Love

So many money songs have been going through my head since I first saw this bath from BackBone as a WIP.  This was several days ago so there's been lots of time. For those of you that don't know BackBone is a new decor brand and the avatars behind the brand are Kiana Writer, the [...]
